First things first the US tariffs from my understanding they were deemed unlawful but kept in place in the meantime, however something should have to happen about it mid October where we’ll know if they’re removed or extended. Knowing the way things are currently operating I do have a friend who also runs a pin business there and we’ve organised to have what’s needed sent to her address and I’ll eat import costs if they occur!
Onto manufacturing, the factory I was initially working with just couldn’t get the more complex pins correct in sampling so i didn’t trust the full production process since colour placement was wrong or missing in a few of the options so I’ve shifted to another I’ve used before, The old factory will still be handling - sugar jar - Strawpurry punnet And the mini freebies since these looked lovely
New factory will have these adjusted pins and use a gradient effect instead of metal effects and the colours have had their required adjustments too! I’m so excited for production and to share it with everyone and also the other pins not listed!
The effect should be something like this which i think looks super pretty! Hope you guys like this too! Additional of each pin has been ordered! To make sure everything is covered and quality Here are the final vectorised versions of the new designs
OH and Rose of course
Sorry for the delay things have been shaky as I’ve been figuring out shipping now, Australia post has a new 3rd party option to pay tariffs ahead of time but the company I was hoping to work with hasn’t come up with a solution yet so I’m thinking this workaround will be the best bet since I don’t want each package to the US being hit with Aus + China tariffs, I’ll ship out everyone else’s first then the US stock will go to my friends her account is @Cinnitea on instagram if you want to check out her beautiful works!
