hey everyone ! Theres never a ton to share in the manufacturing phase as it's a lot of waiting for things to be finished but I have a few progress photos of some of the pins for you from the manu I thought i'd share :)
hey everyone ! I finally have photos of all the bags and I've taken photos of all the different color bows and inserts with them ! See below ! Also, surveys will close on May 30th. That will be the last change to make any changes to your order before they're locked. The preorder shop will also close at this time
all four bags
the white bag will have the chain strap as well they just didn't send it to me
that pink and green has me feeling kind of wicked
All white casual ita bows + insert colors
here are some photos of the inside of the bag ! It's easier to see when it's not black I've also added wallet for scale. The casual bag is actually larger on the inside than the coffin due to the shape so it can hold more !
With bag photos out of the way they also sent me this pink version of the bat i didn't ask for but it's cute ! I have a poll attached to this update for you to pick if you want me to order any of them or not :) the skull btw is still being fixed but it's being worked on !
pink bat is same color as pink bag
Hey all !! Thanks for the patience !! I wanted to let you know the pins are all in production, samples are being made and I'll send photos once they've been done ! I also have photos of the inserts and bows ! They for some reason didn't send me the samples of the coffin standard ita inserts but they'll be the same color as the casual shaped ones so you can see both here ! I do have all the cushion colors and bow colors as well including the new royal blue and dark purple ! check out the photos below ! The manu has told me that the final samples of all bag colors should be finished soon ! They were on holiday and have given me an estimation of a week which means it'll probably be two weeks. I'll update with photos as soon as i can !
Hey everyone ! thank you for filling out the surveys so far I noticed some things in them and I wanted to reiterate something again just incase which is that the color bag you choose will by default come with the same color insert and bow. So if you select or add-on on additional insert or bow of that color you will be getting two of that color with your bag. It's fine if you want two i just want to make sure you understand !
Hey everyone ! Surveys are on their way sorry theyre a bit late I was at a convention the weekend the campaign ended and have been catching up on some work since. First smoke tests will go out and once those are done and there are no issues then all surveys will be sent out.
Bonus content I’m adding two additional bow colors to select from: Royal Blue and Dark Purple ! These will be available in surveys and add-ons. Reminder that your bags will by default come with the same color bow and insert as the bag color. For the coffin bags as well once theyre in the shop the cushion insert will be the default insert they come with but for the campaign you’ll be able to choose which color matching insert you want. Additionally I’m working on a few different printed inserts. Two unique ones for each bag. Those will be added at a later date once completed and you’ll have the chance to add them on to your pledge when I release them.
Pay Over Time Backers This is IMPORTANT. You will NOT be sent your surveys until after you’ve completed your final payment. Per backerkit policy partial payments are non refundable. Because you wont be getting your surveys until later I need you to fill out this Google Formthat’ll allow me to count what you’ll be ordering so I know for production. Thanks !
Refunding Rules Now that the campaign is over I want to make it clear I dont offer refunds after 30 days post campaign end.

Hey everyone ! We've unlocked all previous goals woo ! I'm here with another new pin design and another new stretch goal, as well as some bag updates and photos ! Firstly lets start with the pin: Changeling who unlocks at $29,000. She will be a standard pin and available to add on for $18.
The next new item is bag charms ! These are jet tag like charms and my original hope was to make them replaceable in the bow slow however with how the final construction of the bag ended up working that didn't work out. So i'm repurposing them as bag charms and they're honestly so cute ! The bat is made of the same PU leather as the bag and the skull will be a thick fabric with embroidered details on it ! These will be add-on items for the campaign for now. They unlock at $27,800. They will be $8 add ons.
here is a photo of the bat sample that i already have in hand, the skull is still being made.
Next I've added a few new pledge levels. I've added a four standard pins pledge level to accommodate the newest designs and I've added two new bag + pins levels that are ita + four standard pins and ita + four standard and 1 supreme pin. These two new bag tiers allow for pay over time to make it easier on some people while adding more pins ! As a reminder for pay over time backers you will not be filling out your survey right away through backerkit but I will be sending you an email to get an idea of what items you'd like to pick ! You will then later fill out your backerkit survey once you've paid in full.
Lastly I have some bag sample updates ! I've got the chain strap ! You can now see how it looks with the chain strap which is my personal favorite but i love having the option ! The leather part of the chain strap is adjustable in length.
they've also removed the extra link at the bottom and I have a sample of the darker red bow color thats an option on the survey, it's super beautiful on the bag especially in person. I also have a sample of the cushion ita insert ! You can see how it looks in the bag with no pins and theres also a photo of it on its own. Its sooo cute and makes it even more coffin-like i'm very excited to put some pins on it !
Cushion ita insert and red bow. Showing how the insert looks when in the bag and outside.
As a note on this current sample the back pocket zipper was moved to the very back to test out the structure and feel of it but I still like both zippers in the middle so expect that on the final bag.
Going forward I'm working on at least one more pin design as well as some printed design ita inserts. Would you guys like to see any more bow colors? I was thinking a dark purple and a deep blue would look nice but leave your opinions down below !
