Hey everyone!

There's nothing of significant notice in this update but I wanted to do this for fun to show you all some zippers paired with the new bag samples I have in-hand now! Mass production has already started so this is just to give you an even better idea of how bags and other items will look.

As always, if you need any help with your survey if it isn't completed or if you need to get any help with items etc. please reach out to support or to my customer service email: [email protected]! I'll be happy to assist you :)

A general note on card charges: there were about 40 failed card charges but there will be a 'retry' on the 14th. If you have any issues that you need to inquire about, again, please reach out to BK support :) They've been so extremely attentive and helpful in this whole process.

Without further ado:

I couldn't be happier with how these look all together! The pixel inserts get me so inspired to keep designing pixel merch :D

Here's some previews of how the zipper colorways will look against their respective bag colorway:

The pink turned out so perfect! The hot pink outline/pleather color matches the outline and accent printing on the front of the bag. I think the contrast is so nice in-person!

I'm also in love with how the silver set turned out! I know some were unsure of the inverted color printing but I hope that you all can see the vision I was going for now!

As a general note on the zipper accessories: they are not intended to be super sturdy or meant to withstand a lot of pull weight, I would recommend being a bit gentle with them or pulling from the main zipper mostly.
Additionally, the zipper samples sent to me were single-side printed- this is ok because I just needed to see how the material looked in person but I have triple-checked with the manufacturer to make sure the actual product will be double-side printed :)

Here's a look at the color-match for the canvas materials for the laptop bags! I'm also really pleased with how these look in-person :D
Another tip/recommendation from my usage of the laptop bag sample: due to the texture of the canvas, it may pick up some fibers and lint over time so lint-rolling every now and then will fix this! :)

The wallet turned out exactly as I wanted- the new cursor zipper is extremely satisfying to touch in my opinion- has a good smooth metal texture feel that scratches an itch in my brain haha. If you are familiar with the 'version 1' from a long time ago, this is the same size and dimensions. The upgrades shine in the design and the materials, the pleather is super soft and has a smooth surface and is a lot more scratch-resistant (but of course, I am going to recommend gentle handling overall).
For other wallet colors, they will match exactly with the bag colorways! :)

The bulk of the bags, wallets, and bag accessories have been put into production! Still working out some mass orders for pins and the photocard holders. Things are moving along smoothly!

Thank you all for your support and enthusiasm! Hope you are having a wonderful July thus far :D
