Project Update: 🧸🩹💕FINISHED POPPY SAMPLE🧸🩹💕

Hiiii guys!!

I'm working harder on being more active and consistent as we get closer to fulfillment for Series 1! We appreciate all your grace with the delays and promise we want this to be finished just as much as you! 

I am posting Poppy's finished sample below! You can see a 360° video over on our Instagram (@TheChronicCritters) 💕

Some important updates as well: 

⭐️ the service puppies are all cut out and ready to be stuffed and sewn! They are just finalizing the woven butt tags!
⭐️ our factory where production is will be closed for Lunar New Year 02/17-02/27 so we won’t have anymore updates until beginning of March — I wish we could make things go faster, but we are at the will of how fast they are able to mass produce all these babies 🙏🙏

If you have any questions about anything at all, please comment below! Or feel free to email us or DM our Instagram 💕 we always promise to be transparent and work to fix any problems that may arise!

Let us know how you like Poppy!

Project Update: 🧸🩹💕FINISHED PIXEL SAMPLE🧸🩹💕

Hi Folks!! We’re officially dropping the final designs for cutters over the next week- bulk order has been placed!! They are sending out final revisions and getting fabric quantities measured out right now and production will be beginning shortly!! 

We are so grateful for everyone’s continued love and patience as we Mae sure each and every critter is perfect!!

We are so unbelievably happy with how pixel turned out- isn’t he precious?!

We are starting some very fun things BTS to prepare for shipping series 1 out to everyone and getting hype for future series once series one critters have made it to their new homes!! We’re so excited for everyone to get their critters and promise they’ll be more than worth the wait💕💕💕

You’ll see that Pixel’s spine embroidery is a hair different than the other critters- this is because the embroidery sits on a seam between two fabrics which can’t be embroidered simultaneously! The pouch is the exact same size regardless!  

You can see a 360° video over on our Instagram!!

Project Update: MINI UPDATE- BIG UPDATE COMING SOON!!

Hi everyone- I am SO sorry for my delay in writing an update! Right now, I am trying to compile a post about the tariffs and where they stand right now, but building a timeline of what Trump changed when has been very difficult as there has been so, SO many changes to the tariffs. It has been extremely stressful and upsetting to see so many businesses hurt by his decision to implement these tariffs, and we are hoping and praying that they all get repealed soon.

We've gone from 145% to 10% to 60% to 30%... and back again. Once I get the update compiled, I will be creating our updated timeline, as the tariffs have majorly clogged up the ports from businesses pausing their exports. 

There are so many businesses who cannot afford the tariffs, and honestly? We might end up cutting it quite close. The tariffs are forcing many business to leave their produced good in China, and it is massively slowing production. 

We are optimistic and have already prepared for the possibility that the tariffs put us in the red, but that won't stop us from bringing more critters to life with series 2 in the concept stages, and we are pre-producing all the critters before launch for next series to mitigate any trade issues!

We hate that these unforeseen circumstances have caused a delay, and promise we are doing everything in our power to get the critters to you as soon as possible! The plan when the critters get to me is that we will be packing EVERY order out within a week after quality checks!

For reference, for the Palli campaign in summer 2024, it took 10 weeks from sending her design over to her arriving to me. The factory is so clogged right now that some of our critters have taken over 18 weeks to get to the stages they're at. They are all almost done and we will be hopefully placing the bulk order in the next few weeks! 

Thank you all for your continued love and support! We will have final critter samples once the spine embroidery is completed!!

With Love,
Jojo + Law

Project Update: 📸 ECLAIR V3 SAMPLE PHOTOS 📸

Apologies for the delay guys!! Jojo and I have both been so busy, but we are still in contact with our manu and continuing stuff behind the scenes!! The last few plushies are getting their FINAL touches and changes, we are then able to get the final counts and start production!! We are a little behind our original timeline, but trying to wrap this up so we can get the plushies on their way to us!!!

Here is Eclair's recent update! How do you like her 3D trunk? I think it looks SO much better!!

Here is what the next changes will be:

💜 add a little bit of fuzz inside the ears 
💜 make flower crown and ties minky 
💜 move arm swirls to outside of elbow
💜 make spine embroidery rectangle go all the way down velcro



We have Poppy and Oolong to post in the next few days as well!! I will also get you guys final photos of Pixel for confirmed visual before production!

Any questions? Any thoughts on Eclair or the others?
