Small Update

Hi Everyone,
I saw that a couple of you have requested an update and I’m sorry to say that there is no new news to discuss or talk about.
I’ve sent out the pins and charms to backers that only backed for pins and charms and Im working on getting them ready for a store update sometime in March after I set aside the necessary stock.
As for the bags, like I mentioned in a previous update, we’re currently just waiting our turn in terms of getting the bags into official production. Last I heard they were working on getting Sept and Oct orders done, and so, I’m expecting my order to start in probably March or April. I’ll probably contact my manu around March 1st for an update since they’re currently closed for Chinese New Year.
In the meantime, if you have any address changes you need to make before the bags get here (I’m now estimating for maybe June or July) please feel free to email me at [email protected] and I’ll work on getting that changed for you. Or if you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out.
Also, I’m really sorry for the delays. I know it’s not ideal for anyone but, trust me, I want these bags here and out to you all as much as you all do. I really appreciate all of your guys’ patience and support through all of this and I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your day.
Until Next Time,
Courtney
Ita Bag Production Delays
over 3 years ago

Hi Everyone,
I wanted to quickly update you all about production delays for the cauldron ita. I emailed my manufacturer and she let me know that their factory is working on orders that were placed back in Sept and Oct time so, therefore, the cauldron ita will be delayed further. For reference, I placed the bulk order on Dec 1st. Im unsure of how long these delays will persist but, Ill, at the moment, expect the bags to be shipped to me around April or May and Ill let you all know if anything changes.
As for the other items, im working on getting the pins graded, packed, and hopefully, shipped out within the next couple of weeks to those that only ordered pins or items I have on hand (aka items in my shop). I will also be receiving the acrylic charms very soon! I got a notification that those are being shipped to me as we speak. Once theyre here and graded, Ill work on getting those orders shipped out and, afterwards, pack everything that I can for the remaining orders that way everything is ready to ship out once the bags arrive.
I do appreciate all of your guys’ patience and support as this kickstarter takes its course and I hope you all have an amazing rest of your day. Ill update you all again once I have something to share.
Until Next Time,
Courtney
Pins have arrived!

Hi Everyone,
Apologies for the radio silence but there wasnt much to update you all anout until yesterday because all of the pins have come in!
Ill be requesting on backerkit that anyone that only bought pins (and add-ons that I have on hand) check and update their addresses. So I may begin shipping out pin only orders sometime next week.
There are a lot of pins to go through and place on backing cards so, your patience is greatly appreciated as I work on getting everything, pin related, finalized.
As for the bags and acrylic charms, both are still in production. The charms took a lot longer to get into production than initially anticipated because of the language barrier but, theyve been in production for the past week.
Im hoping that the bags will finish up this month but with Chinese New Year just around the corner, that will delay the bags if theyre still in production. Ive also heard word from someone who uses the same bag manu as I do, that their factory may be closing again due to covid and that theyre still even working on orders from back in October.
This is all unfortuante news and I will be following up with my manufacturer to confirm this with her and let you all know whats going on.
Anyway, here are some pin photos, theyre quick photos since I have yet to start grading them but I hope you like them!
I, personally, think they turned out perfect and I hope you think so too :D
Im really excited to start sending these out and If youre a pin only backer, please go double check that your address is correct via backerkit.
Anyway, I hope you all had a terrific holiday season and a happy new year! Ill update you all again once Im able :)
Until next time,
Courtney
Second Samples Have Arrived! + Last Call for Color Changes
over 3 years ago
– Tue, Nov 24, 2020 at 08:26:44 PM
Hi Everyone!
I have some great news to share! The samples for the updated bags have arrived and they turned out so stinkin’ cute! Ive gone ahead and taken a few photos of everything but still have to take photos of what the wings look like on each colors and how the legs look as well but, otherwise, Ive taken a photo of each insert variant and what I was able to fit in the bags. Ive also included an image of the updated size in comparison to the previous sample. Unfortuantely though, the bag is unable to carry an iPad like i was originally hoping and anticipating (since it was partly the reason I made this bag) so, if you were thinking it will hold a ipad and I told you it would, it unfortuantely will not. It can fit in ipad but you just cant close the bag to actually secure it inside.
Also, if you see you like a color variant you like more than what youre currently backed for in your survey, please let me know youd like to change colors and I can get that sorted :) Anyway, onto the photos!
Apologies for the bad quality photo on that last one. I figured since I wont be using it to market the bags, id just take a quick one. Anyway! I hope you like them! Im hoping to put in the bulk order next week and get those started. I honestly cant wait to start getting these shipped out to you all :D
Anyway, I hope you all have a safe Thanksgiving Holiday and I will update you with any further info when I can :D
Thank you for the continued support! Until next time,
Courtney
