It has been a minute since the conclusion of this project, I've come here to follow up on a few things!
1. Extras are live on my shop- this isn't a 'restock' yet, that is being worked on but the barebones for getting the full catalog introduced to my shop site has happened and I've got plans to restock the full catalog in the near future via preorder!
And if you are interested in following along for when and where for restocks and new additions, I have a newsletter sign-up!
2. New bag straps are in progress and here is a sneak peek! I'd definitely like to get an idea of which designs resonate most with people.
The webbed strap part would have a custom design and the shoulder pad- I'm hoping to sample it in a way where it is padded with neoprene on the interior to add extra cushion.
The bluescreen insert design was fairly popular so I thought it might make an interesting strap design as well :)
3. I am incredibly interested in running another Backerkit project later in this year. I am still trying to figure out what exactly but I've got drafts for both pin series and new bags- there's also a potential for apparel but I'm looking towards small batch mostly.
Thank you all again for your support on this project :) Hope you all are well!
Sorry for the delay on this announcement, there were a few orders with loose ends that were getting wrapped up but besides those few, ALL ORDERS HAVE SHIPPED :D (we've been in this status for a short while now, haha)-
If you need any tracking info, it should be sent to your email but any inquiries about shipments should be sent to [email protected]! They've done an incredible job with this project, I couldn't be happier :)
I've already been seeing some wonderfully decorated bags on BSKY and I love when you all tag me to show photos!
For any straggler backers with incomplete surveys or incomplete payments, I will be emailing to inform of the next steps/options. Fortunately that's not too many.
I think beyond this update, I will hopefully put a shoutout on when I have the series stocked in my online shop (shop.toripng.com) in case anyone wants to grab items they didn't previously :)
Hope you all have a wonderful holiday season! Thanks so much for your support!
We're halfway through all shipments (55%) and the blue zippers that were missing prior are now in-hand so everything is set to be completed before the end of this month :)
If you have any questions regarding shipping/reception/tracking, please shoot an email to [email protected]!
I am SO elated that this project basically only went about a month over the projected time. Both BK and WS have given me so much hope in the crowdfunding method that I am considering doing some more projects in this upcoming new year!
I know things aren't over yet but it is very exciting to know that you all will receive your bags and other items soon :D
Thank you all so much for your support, I can't wait to see how you all sport your new MX Paint items!! I look forward to stocking this series for 2026 in my online shop at shop.toripng.com!
I will have a concise conclusion update later that will have more info and links for future projects and where to follow along.
Hope you all have a wonderful holiday season! - Tori
WS has shipped out 74 packages so far! If your package has shipped, your tracking information has been emailed to the address attached to your order so be sure to check your email :) If you haven't received a tracking number notification, your order is still in progress.
If you order has been shipped and you run into any issues regarding reception, please reach out to [email protected]!
WS intends to complete all packages before the end of this month! The intent was to have more orders done at this point but there was a light hiccup with items- currently blue colorway zipper accessories are missing or have not been found in the bulk order yet. This only affects 88 orders so there are 400 other orders that will be fulfilled without delay. Currently we are trying to locate those items or put in a rush reorder to ensure everything wraps up this month :)
Apologies for the light delay and thank you all for your patience once again! I will update again in the near future! :)
First off, thank you all so much for your patience, I know from the original timeline we've run over a bit with delays. And thank you for your understanding with the past few updates, I kinda jumped the gun on a few announcements but ultimately we're getting this rolling now!!!
Shipments will begin ASAP! As much as I'm still ok receiving customer service inquiries at [email protected], I'm going to redirect your inquiries regarding product and shipments. For tracking, shipping, or any service inquiries regarding reception of products please email [email protected]! I will still redirect any emails but you will get a faster response directly :)
As we reach some milestones in completing fulfillment, I will be giving the updates a little more frequently. I wanted to give a heads up on this in case the constant notifications might get annoying (but hopefully they are just exciting)!
Hope you all are having a wonderful autumn so far! I'll be back to update on progress in the next one :)
