Project Update + Surveys!
about 1 month ago – Wed, Sep 25, 2024 at 10:01:30 PM

Hello awesome people!

Thanks to everyone who fixed up their errored payments, it looks like we're good to go ahead with producing all the unlocked items ^.^

Surveys will be sent out via BackerKit next week. You should recieve an email that will take you to your survey to choose your items (including jacket design + size).

A quick reminder that you don't have to pay shipping at this stage, it will be charged closer to when items are ready to be fulfilled (around January 2025).

Thanks for all your support, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Woohoo, campaign finished on a high!

Hi everyone!

Thanks for all your support of the campaign. With a few wonderful last minute backers, we got over the AU$10k mark in funding, which means both the Bookish and Witchy Jackets + beanies + collar pins can be made. YAAAAAAY!

If you missed the campaign but still want to order items, late pledges are available. Just click "Back This Project" on the project page.

We do currently have a few errored backers to the sum of $2.7k (don't stress, this is pretty normal). If that's you, please log in to Kickstarter to update your payment details and they'll automatically re-charge you for the pledge amount.

That's all for now - I'll post another update when we get closer to surveys being sent out (late September / early October), which is where you'll choose your jacket, size, etc.

If you have any questions or comments, just leave them below (or DM me) and I'll get back to you asap :-)

Final countdown + Funding updates
about 2 months ago – Sun, Sep 01, 2024 at 09:27:23 PM

Hi everyone!

We're down to the final 3 days for this campaign. Unfortunately there's been an unusually high amount of cancelled pledges this week.

If your pledge is still active, please do not change it. 
There's typically a burst of late pledges on the final 2 days, which should help get funding back over AU$10k. Then both jackets will be funded and I can self fund the beanies and collar pins.

Once the campaign ends, I'll take stock of what funding we have to work with. 
If any items cannot be manufactured, you'll be notified through a Kickstarter update by end of next week. Rest assured you will absolutely be refunded for any items that aren't manufactured.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to comment here (or DM me / email at [email protected] )

As always, thank you for your support and I hope you have a wonderful day!
- Kit :-)

P.S.  if you're one of the cancelled pledges, I'd love to know why. From a business perspective your feedback would be super helpful!

1 Week To Go!
2 months ago – Tue, Aug 27, 2024 at 08:24:51 PM

Hello wonderful people!

With 1 week left for the campaign, here's a quick update of where we're at:

Both the Bookish and Witchy Jacket are funded! We needed $10k to fund them and are currently sitting at $10.4k

That said, we REEEEALLY need people to not cancel pledges to ensure we can still afford to manufacture both. *prayer hands*

So long as the jackets remain funded, I will self fund the beanie with rainbow books + collar pins. They're just so cute and I've wanted to make them for ages.

We do have a few hundred people who've signed up for a notification in the final days of the campaign... so there's a chance we'll get an influx of pledges that unlocks the Faerie Jacket. I'll keep you posted! Even if it doesn't get unlocked this time, I'm hopeful we'll be able to make it in the future ^.^

Thanks everyone for your support, and feel free to comment any questions below!
