Production is DONE!
almost 2 years ago – Wed, Jun 29, 2022 at 07:37:39 PM

WooooooHooooo!

I just got word last night that production of the frog purses just finished! This means the final balance was paid today, and they'll be on their way to the USA very soon!

Just a reminder, these are shipped via sea freight which is very slow- this step will probably take about a month. I think the issues at port here in Los Angeles have calmed down, so hoping we won't have any crazy delays. I'll keep y'all posted with more dates and deadlines as they come :)

Preorders close July 6

Since they're on their way, the Backerkit Pre-Order page will close in ONE WEEK- they will be up in the shop in limited quantities after all the rewards are shipped. 

Thank y'all!

Slight Delay Due to Fabric Issue!
almost 2 years ago – Thu, May 26, 2022 at 09:17:56 PM

Hey guys! Hope you're well-

I have a bit of an update but not an ideal one :(

First off, this is coming to you about a week late because I've been recovering from Covid, I hope you guys understand! I chose to pause all work to recover ASAP

While I was out, my manufacturer informed me of an issue with the fabric they received to make the frogs, which they did not notice until they were 70% of the way through sewing. But I'm glad they caught it!

The fabric has color inconsistencies, meaning there's slight variation on the greens on each purse.

Obviously that's not OK! At least not by me haha! So in order to re-purchase the fabric, there's an additional 10 days added to production time, the estimated delivery to me is pushed back a couple of weeks until the middle of August. Here is the current timeline they've provided me:

• Mass Production Finishes June 25
• Sea Transport estimated 40 days 
• Goods expected to arrive in LA mid-August

And that's the situations! These should still be out to you guys before the Fall season gets into swing :D Let me know if you have any questions, if you need me to unlock your order to change addresses etc.

Everyone else should have received a survey now!

Please check your spam filters and make sure the e-mail you used for the campaign (should be the one on your account) is up to date!

This is also your last chance to update payment- your information was passed over to the Backerkit platform so you have an account and pledge level saved, and if you can complete payment if you were unable to thus far :)

Additionally, pre-orders and add-ons will begin to charge! If you need to update your address after your order locks (which I need in order to charge), just reach out to me via Backerkit and I can unlock it any time :)

If you pledged for only pins, your rewards will start shipping out this week! And on a final note

That's all the new info I have for y'all today- have a happy Friday!

Survey Smoke Test Is Out
about 2 years ago – Thu, Apr 21, 2022 at 06:49:51 PM

Surveys are starting to go out! What's that mean?

In order to do one final test of the survey, we've sent the survey to just 5% of you today (that's only 14 people)! Please check your e-mails and spam boxes and fill it out ASAP if you got one :) If you have any issues let me know ASAP!

If you didn't- DON'T WORRY! I will be sending out the rest TOMORROW!

In other news- frog production BEGINS!

The deposit is being paid TODAY! Which means I wait for a PPS to make sure everything is perfect (like tags and hardware and everything) and the mass production begins! I'll keep you guys posted every step of the way. The timeframe is still: slated to arrive to me by the end of July

Thank you guys as always!

Survey ETA
about 2 years ago – Mon, Apr 11, 2022 at 05:01:28 PM

Just wanted to let you know surveys will start going out a week from today!

It's recommended to wait until the payment period on Kickstarter ends, just so everyone has a chance to fix their cards and stuff :)

If you don't get a chance to fix your card before the Kickstarter payment period ends, you'll have a chance to recover via Backerkit

Pre-Order shop is still going strong!

I just fixed an error on shipping costs- if you noticed there wasn't any added to your order, don't worry! That was my mistake. But now, shipping costs have been updated for all regions of the frog purse :)
