Purrfect Bites is a kawaii-inspired collection of hard enamel pins that brings together two universally loved things: adorable cats and delicious snacks. Each design features a cute cat interacting with food and is paired with a matching sticker to complete the set. This project is perfect for cat lovers, pin collectors, and anyone who enjoys cute, snack-inspired art that adds a little joy to everyday life.   

The initial goal of CAD $1,200 will go towards unlocking the Taiyaki Pin, FREEBIE Cross-Collab Pin, and FREEBIE Banner Pin Additional rewards are unlockable as stretch goals. Your pledges helps to unlock new rewards, so even if the product that you like is still locked, your pledge can bring us one step closer to unlocking it.

To show appreciation for backers who support the campaign, there are multiple freebies you can receive when you meet the requirements below:

🎁 FREE Random Vinyl Sticker x 1:

🎁 FREEBIE Cross-Collab Pin (one of each design): 

🎁 FREEBIE Banner Enamel Pin: 

Your credit card will NOT be charged until the end of the campaign, and only if this project is successful. So you can pledge now and pay later. Pledging for locked designs will help unlock them, so please don't hesitate. Every pledge counts & matters! You can edit your pledge at any time during the campaign!

All the products will be available on my Etsy store shortly after the campaign, but at a higher retail & shipping price. 

Shipping costs are NOT included in the tier pricing. Shipping will be calculated and charged after the campaign ends, based on the weight of your package and your destination. All packages will include tracking and ship via Stallion Express, except for Canada-based sticker pack only orders and Canada-based 1~2 enamel pins orders, which will ship via Canada Post as untracked letter mail or oversized letter mail.

BackerKit offers a FREE Local Pickup option, which means no shipping fee will be charged. I haven’t fully set this up yet, as it’s an option selected during the survey, but this is something I definitely plan to offer for Toronto-based backers.

For U.S. backers:
Unfortunately, shipping costs to the U.S. are currently similar to international rates. If possible, please consider planning ahead and placing a group order with friends, family, or colleagues to help reduce shipping costs. Shipping will be DDP (Delivered Duty Paid), meaning tariff fees will be charged and collected during the survey, and no additional fees will be required upon delivery. 

 
For international backers, please note that you'll be responsible for any customs/VAT fees that may incur. It is illegal for me to change the price or mark the items as gifts on customs forms. Currently, I will not be accepting pledges from Germany backers due to the new Verpack G regulation. Please see the shipping cost chart below for estimated shipping fees.

Please note that shipping speeds may vary and delays can occur. Kindly allow extra time for your package to arrive. I will post an update once all packages have been dropped off for shipping. Below are the estimated shipping times: 

All items are final sale (No Refunds, Cancellation, or Exchanges). Please let me know if there are any concerns with your products.  Backers are also responsible for providing the correct address. In the event of undelivered mail that is the fault of the courier, tracked shipments (which include insurance coverage), will allow for a new package to be re-mailed. For undelivered mail at the fault of the recipient (i.e. Incorrect address provided; package not picked up and returned to the post office), with the tracked shipment option or not, the package will be deemed to be delivered and no refund or re-mailing requests will be accepted.

You can choose which items you would like at the end of the campaign. Surveys will be sent out within 48 hours of the campaigns end. The survey will allow you to select which items you'd like and get extra add-ons! You will be able to alter your shipping address at any point, up until I prepare your items for shipment.

Please note that this is just a rough estimate of the timeline and that exact times may vary depending on number of backers, external situations, holidays, etc.

★ Early bird spots are limited to the first 48 hours. If you un-pledge after 48 hours, you will lose your early bird spot and will not be able to re-pledge it again. To add additional items to your pledge, please refer to the add-ons chart and add the cost of each item to your current pledge.

★ You can select additional add-ons at the end of the campaign. Any extra add-ons will be charged via card through Stripe.

★ When you pledge on BackerKit, your card will be charged after the campaign ends, and only if the initial funding goal is met. If the campaign is unsuccessful, you will not be charged. You can adjust your pledge level at any time before the campaign ends.

★ Your pledges help unlock new designs. If a design you like is still locked, please consider pledging to help us unlock it and reach the next goal!

★ U.S. backers: Since my courier requires tariff fees to be prepaid, these fees will be charged before the rewards are shipped. You will not be charged upon package arrival.

★ International backers: Customs duties, VAT, and import fees (if applicable) are not included in the pledge amount. Any additional fees required by your local customs authority are the responsibility of the backer.

★ Refunds and cancellations aren’t available once payment has been processed. Please complete your survey within 3 months (you’ll receive multiple reminders). If the survey isn’t completed after 3 months, your pledge will be treated as a donation. 

★ If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to leave a comment, contact me on IG@jchan_designer, or you can email me at [email protected]

For Pintopia 2026, I will be switching to a different enamel pin manufacturer. This decision was made after a significant number of both new and re-order pins arrived with major quality issues, such as incorrect or missing colours, incorrect backings, and visible dirt or dust. Although the manufacturer agreed to remake the pins at no additional cost, the repeated delays and extensive back-and-forth communication were very time-consuming and mentally taxing.

The new enamel pin manufacturer was recommended by a close artist friend whose art style is similar to mine. I have seen their enamel pins in person, and I am confident they can meet the level of quality I expect for my pins.

That said, for any enamel pin campaign, colours and designs may vary slightly due to the production process. I will request photo samples before mass production, and if colour adjustments are needed, this may result in shipping delays. Regardless, I will do my best to match the final product as closely as possible to the mockups.

For other items (vinyl stickers, washi tape, sticky notes, and tote bags), I will be using the same manufacturer as before. As with enamel pins, minor colour adjustments may be necessary, which could affect shipping timelines. I will always aim to match the mockups as accurately as possible.

Getting your rewards delivered on time is very important to me. However, depending on your country, state, or province, shipping delays may still occur. I appreciate your understanding in such cases. Please note that backers are responsible for any customs duties or VAT fees that may apply. If these charges are not paid and the package is returned to sender, shipping will need to be paid again, and no refunds will be issued.

Should any unlikely issues arise, you will be informed every step of the way.
