A quick note. A few addresses in the system are not valid and cannot be shipped as they are. If you receive a tracking label but do not see movement on it, that means your address needs to be corrected. Please check your emails because I have been reaching out to anyone with an address issue.
Thank you so much for your excitement and patience. We are almost fully wrapped up.

Project Update: 📦 BackerKit Update – Life + Shipping Updates
Hi everyone!
I wanted to drop in with a life update and some shipping news.
Life update:
- I got a new storage unit! It is bigger, has better AC, and is closer, which means I can go more often instead of only every once in a while.
- I finally got my phone fixed (a new one) and got all my stuff back today. It is such a relief to have everything in one place again.
Shipping and orders:
- International shipping is moving a lot smoother now. We have a new system with extra help so that if you have multiple pledges across different BackerKits, you will now get them together in one shipment. It is more expensive on my end but it works better and should prevent mix ups.
- Shipping costs have gone up a lot, especially international. Just sending two bags to the UK is around $60 to $70. I am not charging anyone extra for it, but I am doing my best to keep things balanced.
- If you got some items but not others, it is because segmenting orders got confusing in the last few months. My system of splitting by item was not working as well, so now I am going back and checking things more carefully. Luckily it is going much smoother now.
Project updates:
- Every BackerKit is moving along nicely except the Stolas one, which is still tricky to organize, but it is making progress.
- The HTTYD BackerKit was finished instantly thanks to the new manufacturer, which is a huge relief.
- In the last two months about 70 orders have gone out, so progress is definitely happening.
Thank you all so much for your patience. With the new setup and extra help, shipping is moving a lot more steadily.
– Akira

Project Update: BackerKit Update – Stolitz Bags
Hi everyone!
I wanted to share some important updates about the Stolitz BackerKit.
Bulk production is almost finished! The Stolitz bag sample had to be remade due to some issues, but it’s now back on track.
Because of the delay, we’ve segmented orders:
- Backers who only ordered the Regal Stolas or Date Stolas bags will be shipped out sooner. I’ve been in the process of moving my storage unit, but I should be able to ship those orders out this Thursday.
- Everyone else with Stolitz bags – bulk production is nearly complete, so you won’t be waiting much longer.
In case you missed the last update: FedEx unfortunately lost our shipment and delivered it somewhere unknown. Since then, we’ve switched to UPS and it has been much smoother. The most recent order was delivered perfectly, so I’m confident this change will help moving forward.
Thank you all so much for your patience and support while we finish getting these out to you. I’ll keep you posted as soon as shipments start going out!

Project Update: URGENT: Contact Me via Instagram Only – No Email or Bank Access, Delays in Orders
Hi everyone,
Just a quick but important update:
I currently do not have access to my main phone, email, bank, Stripe, Venmo, CashApp, or Shopify. My phone is physically broken (the screen is dead and unusable), and my backups did not restore correctly. I’ve tried HDMI to USB-C and other methods, but nothing has worked.
I have a temporary burner phone now, but it only has Instagram and a few basic apps. I do not have access to email or any of my financial accounts.
This situation is directly affecting shipping and payments:
- Shopify is set to manual payouts so payment plans don't instantly remove money. I can't transfer anything right now.
- Stripe payments from BackerKit are also stuck since I have to trigger deposits manually.
- I don’t know how much is in my bank account. I only get text alerts with balance updates every few days.
I submitted an ID for account recovery but used my passport, which is apparently slower to process because it’s not considered a standard ID.
Please do not reply to this message. I won’t see it. Replies go to my email, which I cannot access.
If you need to reach me, message me on Instagram only at @akirawav3. That’s the only platform I currently have access to.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Project Update: 📣 Stolitz BackerKit Update – Order Delay Explanation
Hey everyone!
Apologies for the radio silence—I've been sorting out a major issue with FedEx. Unfortunately, our original shipment was lost in transit. I've since worked with the manufacturer to get everything remade.
Here’s the breakdown:
🦉 If your order only includes Regal Stolas or Date Night Stolas, you’ll be moved over to the Stolas BackerKit for faster fulfillment.
🔥 If your order includes Apology Tour Stolas, Large Blitzø bags, or Stolitz bags, these are the items being remade. Thankfully, since they were already made once, the process should go faster this time around.

Everything has already been paid for, so there should be no financial setbacks or further delays beyond the re-manufacturing window. I'm working closely with my partners to get everything back on track and out to you as quickly as possible.
Thank you so much for your patience and understanding 💖
