We got our first preview of the rough sample!

We’re excited to share bits of the creating process with you, and will date and add new content as it is available.

***Dark colors of the prototype are not the colors of the bag***
Please note that it was only used to make sure the patterns were accurate. If the campaign overfunds then. Dark version of the bag might be considered, however the main final is a bronze/brown and grey body.
Our first sample really has some in strong! We were expecting a ton of things needing to be tweaked and edited at this point, but our manufacturer is coming in clutch!
** these samples do not display correct colors at this time **

Our main issue with this current version was the bag was a little too shallow on the sides, it’s roughly 16” tall and should be able to fit an iPad Pro comfortably, but the side panel depth was only 2.5” before it rounds out with the front panels of the lanterns “glass”
So we’ve requested 1” more of depth to be at 3.5” before the curve!

We’re Arcane Moon Studio!
We are a small group of artists coming together to be creative and have fun in the process.  You might hear from Kit, Cay or Gwen!

Two of us within the studio have run multiple Kickstarters and successfully completed projects through Etsy as well.


The previous designs are still available in limited capacity across Etsy, Ko-fi and for lucky few who find us vending through artisan markets or convention circuits.

Edit


BackerKit does not charge you unless the campaign reaches its funding goal!


You can change your pledge amount at any time before the campaign ends to fit your needs.  Things happen! Sometimes you can swing more, sometimes less!  Pay over time is available for larger orders over 150$

Surveys will be sent out at the end of the campaign has completed, so you can pick which designs you would like within your pledge choices.

As the project moves on through production and fulfillment you can look to our Community tab on the campaign page. We will do our best to update you with news as it comes to us!

If you do not fill out your survey within 3 months your pledge will be assumed as a donation.




Shipping cost?


Prices are estimates and can be subject to change. 
All orders will be charged shipping based on the final weight. 
Add ons and extra items may alter final shipping fees
Multiple sets or quantities over 8 pins might be subject to slightly higher rates due to weight.**. Heavier weighted prices are marked within parentheses 

Prices are as estimatedfollows: 
United States 
Bag: 16$(Estimated price)
 Pins: 9$
Mexico, Canada and other international $25 pins 
33-65$ Bag(estimated price by ups or international priority only)


For those in the EU, I unfortunately can't ship there. The GPSR law requiring all businesses to have an EU legal representative and include trackable safety information with every non-food item. We are a very small artist collective, and because of this the three of us must follow this law.
Perhaps one day we’ll have some significant change  where we can comfortably ship to you again. 

*** however if you have a shipping company or individual willing to collect parcels and send them en masse to you that always is an option for those comfortable doing so, but I cannot guarantee timing /replacements  or anything once it’s left my hand. It’s a very much at your own risk option!***

For my international backers,please be prepared to pay any and all customs and taxes on your orders
