Project Update: First Batch almost done — Look at these beauties! 🥹✨
Just a quick follow-up to our last post…
Finally things are moving again!!!! 💨
After weeks and weeks of more setbacks, stress, and silence… it finally feels like something is shifting again, and we’re SO happy to share some visible progress with you!
We received updated photos of the new Delidragons batch in production — and they are looking STUNNING!! 🥹😭💖
These pins are practically complete — they only need the final screen print layer, and they’ll be fully done! ✨
Seeing them like this gives us SO much hope and excitement again — we just had to share them with you right away.

🖼️ Some thoughts on the pins:
🌟 Constellation Dragon is literally glowing with that star details — it looks like it fell from the sky 🥹
💜 Lavender Dragon turned out so soft and dreamy — we can already smell the calm 💐
🌻 Sunflower is full of joy! That tiny flower on the tail? It turned out so detailed!
💚 Succulent Dragon is so vibrant — and that pink flower POPS beautifully on the green base. Can't wait to see it complete with a bold white screen print for the fur!
🖤 Early Grey Tea has such a deep charm… We couldn't believe when we saw the colors turned out just as we envisioned!! So relieving 🍵

We're so close to the finish line for this batch, and we’re beyond excited to see them coming to life. We’re expecting to receive updated photos of the nearly completed pins in just a few days, and we cannot wait to share those with you as soon as they arrive! 🐉✨
🔜 And that’s not all — other Delidragons batches are also in production right now, and we can’t wait to show you the next waves of pins as they’re completed too!! 😍

📦 Shipping Update – USA & EU/ROW
A lot of you have been asking specific questions, so here’s where we’re at:
🇪🇺 EU + ROW – In theory, nothing has changed as of now.
Once all the rewards are fully produced and in our hands, they’ll be shipped out normally to Europe and the Rest of the World. ✌️
🇺🇸 USA – We’re still officially blocked from shipping, BUT... we finally (!!) signed all the documents with our courier to enable DDP shipping! 🎉
That means we might soon be able to ship to the US again without surprise customs fees.
Now we’re waiting for their final approval — fingers crossed 🤞 Everything should be okay, but nothing is ever guaranteed in this climate… so we’re hoping for the best!
Once all the rewards are fully produced and in our hands, they’ll be shipped out to the US as well — assuming the DDP will be activated by our courier and/or the situation with tariffs and shipping has cleared up by then. 🤞
Sorry if this sounds super technical — but we know many of you wanted specifics, and we’ll continue to keep you in the loop 💬

🧠 About September – Why We’ve Been Quiet
Except for the last update we posted here in mid September, we then decided to take the entire month of September off from social media and public updates, because honestly… our batteries were completely empty. 🥺
Not just our creative battery — but our social and emotional capacity too.
We had nothing left to give, and we knew we had to step back to avoid burning out completely.
We had nothing left to give, and we knew we had to step back to avoid burning out completely.
That said, we weren’t doing nothing the same!
We kept working behind the scenes on technical and logistical matters — like negotiating with couriers, finalizing documents, and organizing upcoming shipments and production steps in this difficult situation.

We know that not replying to every message, comment, or email can feel like a letdown — and we hate still not being able to engage more.
But sometimes, staying silent is the only way we can stay standing.
But sometimes, staying silent is the only way we can stay standing.
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again:
This is something we’re actively working on, (and we were actually making progress before getting hit with yet another blow from Trump’s new tariffs, which brought a whole new set of problems to handle)
But the truth is, we need your patience and understanding, just as we completely understand if our slower pace feels frustrating.

But the truth is, we need your patience and understanding, just as we completely understand if our slower pace feels frustrating.
We want to make it absolutely clear: we haven’t abandoned a single project. Everything we’ve started is still moving forward at its own pace — even if it’s happening more slowly and quietly behind the scenes, as we previously said. Some things are in production, others are simply waiting for the shipping situation to be resolved. But nothing has been forgotten or left behind. 🖤
If we ever go quiet, it’s never because we’ve disappeared — it just means we’re working quietly, or we’re recovering. But we’re still here. Always.
📌 If you don’t see an update for your specific campaign yet, please know we’re still preparing and writing those as we speak. These things take time and energy — especially when everything is interconnected — so please be patient with us and avoid sending additional messages or comments asking about it. Every update is coming, and we’re doing our very best to share them all as soon as we can. Thank you for your understanding regarding this too! 💜
❤️ To those of you who’ve stayed patient, supportive, and kind throughout all this — even quietly — we see you, we feel your warmth.
Thank you also to everyone who chooses to comment with kindness and sensitivity, even though we’re clearly not in an ideal place right now — on multiple levels. And thank you to those who’ll cheer us on despite everything. Your support gives us the strength to keep going, more than you know 🌱
Stay tuned — more updates coming soon~
