Happy update everyone!

I received the jet tags over the weekend and am quality checking them for orders as this email is being sent out. Unfortunately, Kyo Jet Tags all came with a noticeable error that wasn't noticeable when sample images were sent to me. You can see in the red circled images below. This error is on all Kyo jet tags I received.

If you have preordered a Kyo Jet Tag, and are okay with receiving from this batch, then please email me at [email protected]. Otherwise, all orders that include this jet tag design will be put on hold until my manu remakes and has these shipped to me.

I am also slowly making my way through finalizing international orders. As a reminder, especially if you're in the UK/EU, please note that your order may be subject to VAT and/or any customs duty fees upon delivery. This has been stated and addressed in the 'story' section of my project page during the campaign. The only fees that have been collected for all orders are for shipping postage. 

Also, if your order is returned back to me because the shipping address wasn't filled out correctly or wasn't updated before locking addresses, you are also responsible for the cost of a new shipping label. I'm just a small independent artist and shipping labels get expensive! I appreciate those who are understanding of these circumstances.

Everything else in production has been going smoothly otherwise! I'm already completely out of some sizes from preorders and cons and am quickly working to restock before the big shop update in June and to have enough for Anime Expo in July. Fingers crossed!

Hi everyone!

In case you missed it on my socials, sweatshirts have arrived and I have already sent out the first batch of sweatshirt-only orders! Jet tags have still not been shipped to me yet even though I asked my manu to have them shipped to me by this point, so it looks like those who have pledged for jet tags will have to wait another week or so, after I get back from my next con this weekend.

I made the packaging extra special, so please share and tag me in your photos once you receive your order! I want to see everyone wear these so badly I'm so proud of how they turned out!!

The only other piece of news I have to share currently is I plan on updating my shop in mid June with leftover stock. I'm currently in the process of getting photos from some lovely models who will be repping these designs to post. So in case you or a friend missed out on pledging or preorders, your next chance is coming soon!

Thanks everyone for your support and patience!

Hello everyone!

It's been a bit since the last update, I appreciate everyone's patience. I wanted to wait until I received some sample images before posting another update, and I finally got some:

*Please note that the colors above aren't reflective of the final product

Jet tags are expected to get shipped to me soon. As for the sweatshirts, they are still in production and don't have any production photos currently. However, since they're being produced locally I will take photos as soon as I receive them in hand.

We're still on time according to the schedule. I might even be able to ship out as soon as mid-May.
I plan on locking all surveys by May 4. Please make sure to double check and update your survey in case your mailing address needs to be updated.

That's all for now, next update I'll take in-person photos of everything!

Hello everyone!

I figured we were overdue for an update so I'm here to provide some for ya. ^^
First off, Jet tags are now in production! Woohoo! I just submitted the files to my manufacturer last night and anticipate receiving these at the end of the month. If production for these go smoothly, I anticipate to fulfill jet tag only pledges in the first week of May.

Next, I have an in-hand sample of Elira's design!

At first glance, it looks amazing! However, this was one of the few sweatshirts that passed quality check. After going through all of the sweatshirts I received, 12/40 sweatshirts I ordered were flawed and deemed unsellable. I was so heartbroken because there was a significant quality drop in comparison to the first time I ordered Selen's design with them. After they have agreed to remake these at no extra cost, I will be soon switching to a new manufacturer. This should only delay further production by a week or so but I'll update ya'll if this changes!

Millie's design has been completed for a while now and I'm finishing up Doppio's design as we speak. His front design just took so long because of all the lines in his plaid..... orz

Half of these backers have made their design selections, but haven't confirmed their mailing address or credit card info. I will be personally emailing those mentioned once we get closer to locking orders near the end of the month.

That's all for now! See ya'll in the next update! <3

Hello everyone!

Thank you once again for giving me the opportunity for a successful crowdfunding campaign! I can't wait to put everything that was funded into production soon.

That being said, there are still many backers that need to update payment information. Please take the time to double check and make sure all payment information is up to date. There is still one more week left to make adjustments, otherwise if charging your preferred payment method fails on the last day your pledge will be cancelled!

If you have any questions on how to update your payment method, please refer to Backerkit's Payment Issue FAQ.

That being said, once the deadline has passed to update card info, surveys will start being sent out! Be sure to be on the lookout for that as to sooner surveys are filled out, the sooner I can start production!
