A day late and a dollar short, but we finally have sample photos from the manufacturer with all of my edits! The hoodies look amazing! They’re adding the drawstrings tomorrow and then they’ll be shipped out to me.
I should have them in hand within about a week, and I’ll share some updated photos so everyone can see how they look on!
Sling Bag Samples
The sling bags are running a little behind schedule. Today I received a photo of the straps, and while they look really nice, it’s not quite worth sharing yet. The sample uses PU straps, but the final bags will have upgraded custom webbing straps.
Once I receive the sample, I’ll be able to share the confirmed bag dimensions and strap measurements. The current strap length is 120cm, but I’d like to verify that once the sample arrives.
I’ll also be offering strap extenders as a $12 add-on in the post-campaign survey for anyone who would like extra length.
Payments
Payments are currently being processed! With crowdfunding campaigns, it’s very common for some payments to fail on the first attempt.
If your payment didn’t go through, you may need to update your payment information. BackerKit will continue attempting to process failed payments over the next several days, so don’t worry if you see a pending payment issue.
Post-Campaign Survey
The post-campaign survey is where you’ll finalize your selections. This will be emailed out next week!
In the survey, you’ll select the styles and sizes you’d like for each pledge and add-on. You’ll also have the opportunity to make additional add-ons or update your selections if needed.
Once your survey is complete, shipping fees will be charged.
Stretch Goals?!
We came SO close to unlocking these designs!
During my last campaign, I was surprised to see that post-campaign add-ons brought in enough support to unlock some stretch goals after the campaign ended. Because of that, I’m considering making these designs available as well!
Keep an eye out for a poll soon, I’d love to hear what you all think!
Orange Harlequin Hoodie and Black & Green Sling Bag stretch goals
Goal Unlocked! Frog keychain reward for all backers!
Mystery Reward Unlocked: Frog Keychain!
🎉 WE DID IT!!! 🎉
We broke through our $8,500 goal and unlocked new items!
The best part? Every backer will now receive a FREE frog keychain with their pledge!
Keeping with the mystery theme, you’ll receive 1 of 2 frog keychain designs at random! This is an extra little surprise for everyone who helped make this campaign possible!
BIG UPDATE:
These hoodies will only be available for a limited time! I’m planning a short production run, so if you’ve been waiting to grab one, make sure to pre-order now because your size may not be available after the campaign ends.
And we’re not done yet… If we reach our final goal of $10,500, I’ll be able to add the Orange Harlequin Frog hoodie design to the production order!!!
We can do this! If you know someone who would love these frog hoodies, sling bags, or accessories, please share the campaign with them. Every share helps us get closer to unlocking one more surprise before the campaign ends!
We are in our final days of the campaign and have doubled our initial goal!!! To thank everyone for their support of this campaign I’m launching this mystery reward incentive for everyone who has pledged already and all our last minute shoppers that will pledge in these last two days! To make this fun, I’ll reveal the mystery reward when we reach our next goal of $8,500!
Updates Thank you all for patiently waiting the sample reveals. I’ve spoke to my manufacturers and we should be seeing the sling bags and hoodies on Monday!
I just received my restock, and in addition to my usual sizes, I currently have (5) Extra Small hoodies available. Above is an example of the XS size on my 11-year-old (generally wears youth size 14) for reference.
If you’ve been hoping to grab one for your kiddo, hop over to Etsy before they’re gone! I don’t expect these to last long!
Juneteenth Bonus Offer: Free Extra Ita Bag Insert!
Bonus ita insert for all sling bag pledges by 6/19
Juneteenth Bonus Offer: Free Extra Ita Bag Insert!
Happy Juneteenth, everyone!
To celebrate, I’m adding a special bonus for all Frog Sling Bag pledges placed by 11:59 PM EST on June 19, 2026.
Every sling bag pledged during this promotion will receive one FREE additional ita bag insert!
This applies to:
Individual sling bag pledges
Sling bag add-ons
Bundle pledges that include sling bags
You’ll receive one extra insert for each sling bag included in your pledge.
Why an extra insert? One of the best features of an ita bag is being able to display your favorite pin collections. Having a second insert allows you to create multiple pin layouts and swap them out whenever you’d like. This means no need to remove and rearrange all of your pins every time you want a new look!

We Need Your Input!

Example of green and black sling bag ita insert choices
Example of turquoise sling bag ita choices
For your bonus ita bag insert, which option would you prefer?
Two inserts in the same color as previously designed
One matching insert and one coordinating accent color insert
We are on pace to unlock all our goals! I’d like to set up stretch goals and I know many people are interested in seeing more color ways for our frog hoodies. Which would you like to see unlock first?
