Another short update: another batch of orders shipped out earlier this week, and more tracking numbers went out today and more are going out this evening!
If you received a tracking number today, please give the number 24-48 hours to update and reflect the package as "in transit." I have a USPS pickup scheduled for tomorrow, plus another on Tuesday (I try not to overwhelm my mail carrier with too many packages at once).
There are still a handful of folks who need to fix their CC information, too, so please check your info if you haven't received any tracking, just in case!
More Copper Owls have Arrived
Third time's the charm, because I finally have enough A-grade copper owls to finish fulfillment. If you haven't been charged, watch for Backerkit emails regarding credit card charges + address locking!
I was hoping to finish fulfillment (minus 61 copper owl orders) before the start of Pintober, October 20th, but it's going to take longer. My apologies, this estimate was too ambitious for so many remaining orders, and I've been extra busy also trying to prepare for Pintober.
I will still be packing and shipping as much as I can over the coming weeks and during the upcoming campaign, too! Now that Owls are in, there are 147 total orders left to fulfill as of this update.
While I'm hesitant to give a date, I'm keen to finish fulfillment by the end of the month. There were 597 total orders, and with 20+ pin designs, add-ons, and so many flawed pieces, it's been a lot! Lesson learned about making overly complex campaigns. 😅
As usual, I really appreciate the support and patience. :)
I wanted to check in real quick to let you know that things are progressing smoothly, just a bit more slowly than I'd like. It's just me doing all the packing and shipping right now (but my husband helps when he can), and the large number of designs definitely slow things down. Thanks for your patience! 101 packages down, 181 to go.
Another big batch of orders will be packed and shipped this week, so please keep an eye out for tracking numbers in the coming weeks if you still haven't received one!
As before, I am still waiting on the Copper Owl, and there are 61 backers whose cards have not been charged as I wait for these.
Thank you again! Feel free to reach out if you have questions or if there are any issues with your order. Email at: [email protected], or @kiranight_art on Instagram. I'm a bit more active on IG than usual, so I should see your DM.
hey everyone ! I finally have photos of all the bags and I've taken photos of all the different color bows and inserts with them ! See below ! Also, surveys will close on May 30th. That will be the last change to make any changes to your order before they're locked. The preorder shop will also close at this time
all four bags
the white bag will have the chain strap as well they just didn't send it to me
that pink and green has me feeling kind of wicked
All white casual ita bows + insert colors
here are some photos of the inside of the bag ! It's easier to see when it's not black I've also added wallet for scale. The casual bag is actually larger on the inside than the coffin due to the shape so it can hold more !
With bag photos out of the way they also sent me this pink version of the bat i didn't ask for but it's cute ! I have a poll attached to this update for you to pick if you want me to order any of them or not :) the skull btw is still being fixed but it's being worked on !
pink bat is same color as pink bag
I’m so excited to show you the brand new design after the Loch Ness Monster won last week’s poll - check it out below! This new design will unlock at £5,000, which we’re not far off! And then at £5,000 the rainbow variant will also be available~ I hope you all like them, and I've updated both the campaign page and available tiers to reflect this. This means that the original "All In" Tiers still cover the first 8 pins, rather than the full set of 10, just as a heads up!
What to do if you want to add the extra pins to your pledge:
If you're an Early Bird backer, and you want to add extra pins, EDIT YOUR PLEDGE, RATHER THAN CANCELLING IT, as this still works out cheapest!
If you're on any other Tier, just use the Add-Ons feature as normal to add as many extra pins you want that way. Just message me if you have any questions about this, or add a comment.
I’ve also added the holographic sticker design of Nessie as an Add-On too! I’ll update the image of it tomorrow, but it is available for £3, like the others!
I hope we can smash through the rest of the unlock goals asap as I love this design. With just over a week to go, we’ve got a great chance of absolutely crushing it - help spread the word if you can!
Hey everyone ! We've unlocked all previous goals woo ! I'm here with another new pin design and another new stretch goal, as well as some bag updates and photos ! Firstly lets start with the pin: Changeling who unlocks at $29,000. She will be a standard pin and available to add on for $18.
The next new item is bag charms ! These are jet tag like charms and my original hope was to make them replaceable in the bow slow however with how the final construction of the bag ended up working that didn't work out. So i'm repurposing them as bag charms and they're honestly so cute ! The bat is made of the same PU leather as the bag and the skull will be a thick fabric with embroidered details on it ! These will be add-on items for the campaign for now. They unlock at $27,800. They will be $8 add ons.
here is a photo of the bat sample that i already have in hand, the skull is still being made.
Next I've added a few new pledge levels. I've added a four standard pins pledge level to accommodate the newest designs and I've added two new bag + pins levels that are ita + four standard pins and ita + four standard and 1 supreme pin. These two new bag tiers allow for pay over time to make it easier on some people while adding more pins ! As a reminder for pay over time backers you will not be filling out your survey right away through backerkit but I will be sending you an email to get an idea of what items you'd like to pick ! You will then later fill out your backerkit survey once you've paid in full.
Lastly I have some bag sample updates ! I've got the chain strap ! You can now see how it looks with the chain strap which is my personal favorite but i love having the option ! The leather part of the chain strap is adjustable in length.
they've also removed the extra link at the bottom and I have a sample of the darker red bow color thats an option on the survey, it's super beautiful on the bag especially in person. I also have a sample of the cushion ita insert ! You can see how it looks in the bag with no pins and theres also a photo of it on its own. Its sooo cute and makes it even more coffin-like i'm very excited to put some pins on it !
Cushion ita insert and red bow. Showing how the insert looks when in the bag and outside.
As a note on this current sample the back pocket zipper was moved to the very back to test out the structure and feel of it but I still like both zippers in the middle so expect that on the final bag.
Going forward I'm working on at least one more pin design as well as some printed design ita inserts. Would you guys like to see any more bow colors? I was thinking a dark purple and a deep blue would look nice but leave your opinions down below !
As mentioned a few days ago, I’d love to design another pin as a new stretch goal and I thought asking my audience would be the coolest way to decide on which cryptid to go for!
I like anything a bit more obscure or weird, so the poll options include some pretty random options, but please cast your vote if you get a spare minute as I’d love to hear your opinion. 🤘
The poll will close on the 31st so it gives me enough time to get the design done before the campaign ends. Again, thank you so much for the support on this project so far, it’s been awesome!
i have the shipping materials now for the project i am just waiting on the stickers to arrive which shouldn't take much longer, and so i am locking orders now, please make sure once again that your payment information and address is up to date ! once orders are locked i will be charging cards thank you everyone !
Hey everyone ! Wanted to give a bit of a generalized update.
PINS
I'm still going through and grading all the pins there are just a TON for one person to grade and so many things are coming at once. Full transparency I've been dealing with heavy pin delays this year and many batches of full defects whether that be from patreon, mythic odyssey, reorders, etc and that has slowed down a lot of the grading process. I had to delay some grading for this campaign in order to catch up on patreon rewards that were super behind due to all the delays. It's been a mess in the manufacturing word this year for me ! However it's full steam ahead now with all the grading for the pins of this campaign and I fully plan to start shipping some batches during the October month :)
BAGS
Speaking of delays each time i ask for an update on the bags progress they seem to push the date back further. They had originally given me a summer timeline, then end of august, then end of September, and now they're telling me mid to late October. I don't have a solid timeline on when they'll be finished and shipped to me yet due to the manufacturer stringing me along, however the estimate date for these to ship isn't until next year on the campaign so we're well within the timeframe as is. Due to the manufacturer continuing to move the date each time I ask I'll be writing the next update on the bags when they have confirmed to me that they HAVE SHIPPED so you guys have a better timeline :)
Thats all for this update just wanted to give everyone a quick look behind the scenes on timeline and production and how things are moving along. I hope everyone has a great Halloween month !!
hi everyone ! the wallets arrived today, i also have the pins all graded and ready to ship, i am going to order some mailers now and once they arrive i will charge shipping and start sending your rewards out so please be sure your payment information is all up to date so your shipment won't be delayed ! i will give a heads up before i actually charge the cards as well 🖤
