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see so many businesses hurt by his decision to implement these tariffs, and we are hoping and praying that they all get repealed soon.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
