We are shipping out orders using the Backerkit segments feature! This allows us to group up your orders into sets of 100 for the workday to B grade and pack. This also means we are locking addresses in sections and by week. If your order is going out that week, you will receive a 48 hour notification email on Monday or Tuesday for final address lock. Please update your address on time, as we are buying and printing shipping labels after that 48 hour period. You may update your address on your own at any time by following these steps below.
HOW TO UPDATE YOUR ADRESS > Go to your account > Your pledges and surveys > Go to the beetle bags campaign > View pledge > Update your address > Save changes
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS > Can you add to your order? > Can I refund my order? > Can I change my bag? Yes, you can, please email us on our support email [email protected] We're happy to help. Please be patient if we don't respond to your email immediately; we are both disabled and can't always work due to various issues.

> Does ChimeraBunny pre-pay for import fees? Yes
> What's the status of my order? If you have not received a 48 hour notice for final address lock email, your order is not scheduled to be sent out that week. Keep in mind if you ordered a product/ addon that is still being manufactured as apart of your order; we cannot send your package until all items of your order are ready to ship at once. This is because you only paid for shipping once. Please refer to our manufacturing update posts for status on items you purchased if you are curious.

Since we're super close to the last stretch goal, I've decided to go ahead and unlock the Pink ita bag! 🩷🎉✨
All day yesterday, we were sitting about 1-2 bag pledges away from unlocking the Pink color variant. So I decided to cover the rest so we could officially unlock all 4 ita bag colors at the end of Bag Bazaar!! 🥳
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much for the incredible support and for sharing the campaign with your friends 🥰🙏🏼 I'm super excited to get all these new bags to their forever homes!! 😻
📣 Don't forget: there's a new add-on for (5) holographic pin insert colors! 🌈✨
The sample for the cherry blossom binder arrived and I had the chance to take a photo. She looks SO GOOD in person you guys!!
There are a few minor tweaks I'm adjusting on the next sample, but for the most part it's virtually perfect!
🌸 UpdatedBinder Specifications
An updated list of specifications for the binders below:
🌸 Exterior
✔️ 9-Pocket zipper-enclosed binder ✔️ Bright, textured PU leather covers with full-page cover design drawn by Zandra Illustration ✔️ Small logo on back and cherry blossom icon on the spine ✔️ Strong & secure stitched-in matching zipper & zipper pull
🌸 Interior
✔️ WHITE INTERNAL PAGES!!! ✔️ Side-loading pockets ✔️ Sewn-in pages ✔️ Acid-free archival pages ✔️ 24 double-sided pages (4 more than the average binder on the market of this size) ✔️ Can hold up to 432 cards!!
One of the biggest updates to the list is the inclusion of white internal pages! I initially didn't think this would be possible with the MOQ, but my manufacturer informed me that all designs can have the white internal pages with no adjustment to the MOQ, which is fantastic news.
🌸 Timeline
I'm still working through sourcing and designing a few more fun surprises for the campaign, and I won't be launching until everything is set up, sampled, and running smoothly!
My hope is still to launch in June, but I will keep everyone updated in the meantime!
Let me know what you think of how the samples look so far.
We did it!! 🩶 The Gray/Black gaming ita bag has officially been unlocked!! 🎉
~Mario theme~
~Music festival theme~
Thank you all so much for the incredible support and excitement for this campaign!! It means so much seeing our little community come together to make something incredible 🥰
I'm so excited about this new color, my inner goth dreams are coming true lol 🖤🔮 This is basically what I'm imagining people wearing with this new goth style bag at conventions 🥰🤘🏼
🔒 Our next goal is the pink gaming bag!! 💪🏼💖✨
I've seen pledges fluctuating a little bit back and forth this past week, so I’d love to keep this momentum going strong so we can safely keep this new gray color unlocked! 🩶 Not only that, but it would be amazing to push for the final goal: the pink ita bag!! 💖✨
✨ Here's the best part about unlocking this bag!! ✨ I did the math and we only need about 25 more ita bag pledges to unlock all 4 bag colors!! That means we are *soooo* incredibly close to unlocking the last pink bag together in the last week of Bag Bazaar 😻
The best way you can help right now is to simply share the campaign link! 🥰🙏🏼
Please help share the link below with all your loved ones~
🎮 Gamer friends & family 👜 Ita bag collectors ✨ Convention friends 💖 Pin communities 📲 Facebook, Instagram, other social media, Discord servers, anywhere online really! ^_^
It may not seem like it, but every single share genuinely does help!! 🥰🙏🏼✨
📣⌛️ Reminder: Bag Bazaar ends in 8 days on June 2nd @10pm EST~
(That means only 1 more week to share the campaign!)
Thank you again for making Bag Bazaar such an amazing experience!! 💖 I'm thinking if we reach the final pink bag goal, new holographic insert colors will unlock next?? 🙊✨ Until the next update~
Thank you everyone so much for your support, we have officially funded the Stim Spins!
I have been so busy lately with recent events, packing to move, and working on some more fun stuff behind the scenes- so I really appreciate everyone's support towards our first goal!
Now for the fun part... Unlockable rewards!
Up first we will be trying to fund ADHD & Autism creature shaker keychains, which I will be sharing more concept art for shortly- so keep an eye out!
Additionally, I will be adding many new sticker designs & extras that you can add to your pledge at any time.
Coming up next month I will be tabling at Yeticon (Blue mountain, Ontario) during the last weekend of the campaign, so I will be posting a lot more about that coming soon! I will also be posting estimated shipping fees internationally shortly for clarity.
Art is hard and motivation is harder (especially with that executive dysfunction...) so thanks again everyone for your patience with my updates!!!
Wow!! I can't believe how successful the first day of Bag Bazaar was!! 😻
✨ Let's look at the highlights of day one! ✨ ➡️ 1st bag unlocked in 3 hours! 🏆 ➡️ 2nd bag unlocked less than 24 hours from launch! 🚀
Thank you for all of your support on the 1st day!! 🎉 We unlocked BOTH the (Red/Blue) and the (Blue/Green) ita bag color variants together as a community!! I can't thank you all enough 🙏🏼
If you didn't see these options, I snuck in the Mega Bundle tier today! This upgraded tier includes (2) Regular pins, (2) XL pins, and (2) Mini pins of your choice!
➡️ With the fully customizable Create-A-Bag Tier, you can change pretty much any color inside and out! We can even customize your (2) insert colors if you so choose~
All pink inside! Normal bag color is black inside
🗣️ But will I lose my Early Bird freebie pin if I upgrade tiers?!
The answer is nope!! Not at all!
➡️ Early bird rewards are linked through your original backer timestamp on the backend, not necessarily by which pledge tier you picked! The pledge tiers are labeled "Early Bird" mostly for the price differences! 😊
So if you want to upgrade your Pledge Tier later, your Early Bird freebies are still safely linked to your account! ^_^ 💖✨

Thank you all again for the incredible support during the Bag Bazaar launch!! 👜🚀
Sorry for the long pause! I had back-to-back conventions to attend to! However, the Tinkatuff design has been finished and because she is one of my favorite Pokémon, I’ve lowered the goal amount for her because I’d REALLY like to see her get made. So I’m ready and willing to put some more of my own coin in to get her! ❤️
Because of this though, and so no one is pledging for a pin that isn’t made. The stretch goal of $4,000 has been changed to simply a freebie print given to all $30 pledgers. Sorry for anyone who was hoping to see other fairy Pokémon! I just don’t want to rush any designs or leave anyone hanging. This project has been incredibly successful though and I’m so thankful for all the support! So I plan on doing another one next year! Instead of fairy though I’m thinking…. Something poisonous. 😈
