Hey everyone~ I appreciate the wait on surveys! I had them finished and approved but had an event this past weekend. They should be rolling out over the next 48 hours so please keep your eyes peeled.
Please note that if you do choose to do the "pay now" on the survey, I manually have to check answers and process payments. I'll do my best to keep an eye on surveys daily and process things as soon as I can, payment should be processed within 48 hours.
Surveys will remain open until around late May or June but the sooner you answer the better it is for me to keep count of how many items I need to order! You will be notified that surveys are closing as well as when addresses will be locked - this means you can go in and update as needed until then.
Samples for the four new stretchgoal designs (black cat, red panda, teddy and panda bear) were ordered last week however the factory does celebrate Lunar New Year and will be gone until March 1st. I wont even get artwork proofs to approve until then a 😭!! But I do hope they all have a wonderful break and enjoy the festivities.
I'll be updating once I get more information from the factory. I know this process can feel a bit slow as expected production for hair claws can take about 3 to 4 months including the sample phase and shipping.

Just in case we hit the 4500 stretchgoal before the campaign ends, I put up a poll on which bear design you would rather have unlocked in the surveys! :D
Technically, we are about $100 away from unlocking the Teddy Bear design at the moment of this update. However, I'm unlocking it preemptively just because I think I can cover the difference if I need to! So the Teddy Bear hair accessory design will be available in your surveys as hair claws and hair clippies.
I also updated the pledges to include a bundle of 9 clips or 9 claws.
We are coming up to the final 48 hours, sometimes the last few hours gets a lot of attention so it may be possible to still unlock the next stretchgoal! If we do unlock one more stretchgoal, I'll put it up to a vote if you would rather have the panda bear or the polar bear.
Thanks for all the support I truly appreciate it :D! I'll be working on the surveys the next few days and will have an update on those when they are ready to send out.
Unlocked the 8th design, Cinna the Red Panda! Cinna is like Latte and is one of my little critter shop mascots. Cinna is short for Cinnamon. Just like Latte having a cute milk pattern on her chest, Cinna's pattern is on their adorable cheeks. This unlock means both the hair claw and hair clip will be available to choose in your survey.
I have now added additional pledge options ~ 8 hair claws or 8 hair clippies
Less than a week left but I am hoping we can unlock some of the cute bear designs :D Next up is the teddybear!
The hair clip acrylics are only secured onto the metal with adhesive, so you can customize your clippies to face right or left if you wish! Here is a quick visual tutorial on how:
1. Grab the clippy you wish to adjust, for this example I am using the red corgi (latte corgi is kept the same)
2. Gently pry the acrylic off of the metal clip, if you need to you can use a cotton swab with acetone between the two pieces
3. You will have to place the acrylic piece on the opposite side of the metal clip, make sure its oriented correctly before securing it with glue. Its best to use e6000 adhesive for the strongest bond but super glue will work just fine!
And viola, now your clippy faces the opposite way!
