This is my sixth crowdfunding campaign & my first ever PINTOPIA that makes me so excited! This time I was inspired by nostalgic and fascinating world of FRUTIGER AERO & I want to bring you guys the future we were promised!
For new backers, here's how Backerkit works
Backerkit will not charge you unless the campaign reaches its funding goal.
You can change your pledge amount at any time before the campaign ends.
Surveys will be sent out once the campaign has completed so you can pick which color version you like, cover shipping fees and eventually buy extra items, which are not available during the campaign.
All prices within the story description and updates are listed in EUROS. This time due to the changes in international shipments, all orders for the US backers will be shipped DOMESTICALLY from a fulfillment center located in the US!
TAX NOTICE for international purchases (Australia/UK backers): BackerKit doesnβt collect VAT, so you will be fully responsible for any VAT / GST / taxes / duties imposed on the package when it arrives to your country.
Customizable ita window with 3 different "computer wallpapers" inserts: There is a big transparent ita window at the frony to display your favorite enamel pins, keychains and flat trinkets.
Durable & Stylish Design: Made from high-quality vegan leather with lots of space and pockets, itβs perfect for daily use, conventions, or weekend adventures. π
Wear it as you like: a crossbody or a backpack!
The bag has lots of space - it is the biggest bag, I have ever made - great for school, college and everyday adventures! It can store so much stuff and has numerous pockets to keep you organized everywhere you go!
Transparent details inspired by blobjects from early 2000s

The carry case prototype is currently in the making, but it will look similar to what you see in the design. I have already made carry cases similar to this one - you can check out existing examples from my previous campaign, 2000s Tiniest Ita Bag & Carry Cases.
The soap carry case will NOT have changeable covers like my previous designs. I hope to share a finished prototype photo during the campaign period.
PLEASE NOTE: Shipping costs ARE NOT included in the cost of your pledge. You will be charged for shipping-and have an opportunity to adjust your pledge-after the campaign through the pledge manager.
The following are estimates for shipping a bag/backpack with full package tracking, projected on current trends. Please note that these are estimates only and are subject to change by the time of fulfillment.
TIMELINE:
January 22nd β February 12th: Funding Period
Late February: surveys sent out
Mid-March: production starts (will take around 3 months, but will be more accurately calculated when based on the orders number)
September/October: Fulfillment begins
Shipping costs will be calculated based on your country + total weight of the package.
It is my sixth crowdfunding campaign, so I have prior experience managing large number of orders with really great response from the customers - 5 stars rating and Star-seller badge on Etsy. I will do my best to tackle any problem that might arise during the process!
PRODUCTION I have confidence in my manufacturer and I have been and am extremely pleased with the quality of the production of the first batch of bags! There might be delays to production due to any unforeseen circumstances and if so, I will keep you updated on the production timeline here on BackerKit.
QUALITY: Any major defects from manufacturing will go into the reject pile, but minor defects will be accepted from the manufacturer (this is to reduce waste); these accepted defects are typically those that are somewhat difficult to see without intense visual inspection. By backing this campaign, you have read and understand this, and you are okay with very minor defects in your rewards.
SHIPPING Delivery times are estimates and there is always the possibility of delays. Please be patient with the production and shipping process! I try to be as transparent as possible about any delays and update frequently via Kickstarter. By backing this campaign, you understand that delivery times are not 100% guaranteed. Note that backers are also responsible for all customs/VAT fees that may incur.
TRACKING All rewards will be sent with tracking. Please be aware that while I can control what goes into the box or package your order will arrive in, I cannot control the course which it will be delivered to you once it is out of my hands. Please first contact your local postal service in the case of a missing package. They will conduct an investigation. If you need further help, please contact me. I cannot guarantee a replacement package.
CHANGES IN POLITICS REGARDING INTERNATIONAL TRADE Global political and economic conditions can change rapidly. Since the beginning of 2025, we have seen how shifts in international trade policies-such as new tariffs, customs regulations, or import/export restrictions-can occur with little notice. While I plan carefully and work with experienced partners, unexpected changes may impact production costs, shipping timelines, or delivery methods for international backers. I will always communicate transparently and do our best to adapt, but some factors may be outside my control.
REFUNDS & CANCELLATIONS Once the campaign is complete, refunds or cancellations will not be issued for any reason. Please fully read over the campaign, and only pledge if you understand & accept the above estimated timeline and risks!
