We officially have 2 designs completed and on thier way to the us.

The Rubber Ducky and Dairy Cow were completed last week, packed up, and are now on the way here. Min transit time is currently 55 days. We were informed however to expect delays due to the ever changing tarrifs and shipping conditions.

We will not receive a tracking update until they reach US soil, so now we wait.

The Cappuccinos are still in the production phase as they needed additional edits during the project. They have passed safety inspections and are moving quickly to be finished.

And finally a huge update on our Shy Beetle! We have a prototype here and are doing use testing. Some edits have already been sent for both cosmetic and functional updates.

The biggest cosmetic change will be adding the body segments under the wings. You can see in the photo I added them in sharpie to get an idea of the final look. We felt he really needed them. Smaller changes include rounding out his head shape a tiny bit more, and magnet placement for the wings.

The only functional edit is for the liner to be sewn down in one additional area to prevent the liner coming out during use. It is already sewn down in a couple of spots, we just need one more.

Once these changes are made we will have them submitted for safety testing and start production.

There is currently a small break in tariffs making them 30% and we are working very hard to make this window for most if not all the backpacks!

Currently the first 2 designs are in full production with a completion / ship date around June 5th. There are 1,000 units of each design so we must use sea shipping method. No time frames are currently available for this but rest assured we will continue to get updates as fast as possible.

The cappuccinos and beetles will be in full production very soon. The cappuccinos are fully approved for construction and design and just waiting for the sewing machines to be free from the first 2 designs.

The shy beetle is undergoing its final changes to construction. Design details are finalized!! We are extremely excited to share him with you before final changes.

We have requested more a more full and round shape to his head and for the wings to be closer together to cover more of the top. The wings also have magnets to keep them in place while out and about.

Once the bags are in hand surveys will go out with shipping totals. We do not want to do this too early as things change so rapidly. Hold tight!

For any payments that have not gone through these have automatically been cancelled. An opportunity to preorder will come up once we are closer to having them all in hand to avoid any more back log orders during final production. 

Thank you soo for being patient while things have been turbulent. We are doing everything in our power to get these little cuties here without too much additional stress. We will continue to update this project s soon as information and changes are available. 

We are working with our manufacturer very closely on the ever changing tariff situation. Currently the bags are still being made so we do have a small buffer for things to possibly return to normal. However if the bags should be finished before this we will explore more options.

Final changes made to the isopods! We have added interfacing to make them more robust and hold shape even if empty while still being soft and huggable. The Dairy cows and Ducky pods are in full swing! More photos soon. Smaller items such as the keychain sets are now completed as well.

Our shy beetle buddy is also in the works and just needs a few more adjustments to be ready for some photos.  

Our project has now ended and all goals have been unlocked! Even the Shy Beetle bag.

We want to thank you all so much for the amazing support on these little dudes. Samples for the pouches are in the works as well as final adjustments to the pods. The beetle is working as well and I will be sharing more as soon as hes looking more like our vision for him.

We are also working on a preorder shop here on backer kit. So if you missed the date or need to get some friends to match you, hold tight!

Thank you all again for supporting out pods!
