Hello! Popping in to share that the shoes have all been completed! The new detachable tassel additions have also been completed as well! They've been made longer with additional holes so the tassel can be folded into the tongue for a more refined look.
Laces tied through the holes
Folded into the tongue
I'm just waiting to review some final pairs sent to me then the bulk will be sent to a new warehouse I'm working with in China. The shoes will be shipped to everyone from there. There's been many frequent weird (and officially illegal!) tariff changes in the United States and so shipping directly from China is the best method for consistency.
Once we've estimated the shipping costs, I'll begin charging shipping through Backerkit and then locking address in August, please keep an eye on your emails for updates regarding that. We should be just about schedule with the delivery time. Thanks so much for your patience during this time, I'm looking forward to getting these new shoe designs out to you!
Hello! Just popping in for a quick update! The Oxford Wooden Platforms are close to being done, there's just several more pairs to finish! We were working to design a removable tassel that can be added to the shoe's laces so we're still in the process of prototyping that. I need to receive it in the US and review the fit and function and if all is good, we will add those to each pair! Here's some photos of the shoes in progress:
I believe at the current rate, we may be looking at a July/early August fulfillment which should be right on schedule. I will make sure to update again as things progress! Thank you! :)
Hello, just a quick update, I have officially locked the shoe orders and will begin bulk production of the shoes soon! If you have not answered the survey, I have emailed you individually, please answer the survey by 04/03/2026 or unfortunately, I'll have to cancel your pledge. Thanks everyone!
Hello! The last of the payment plans are now completed for the Oxford Wooden Platforms, thank you so much! So if you did Pay Over Time, you should have received the Backerkit survey for your pledge selection to your email! Please fill out the survey as soon as possible, I can only begin production once everyone has answered because every size & color combination is Made to Order. Please make sure to contact me if you never received an email for the survey. For those who have answered the survey already, please review once more to make sure your size and color selection is accurate. Once the last survey answers come in, I will proceed with locking orders for the final inventory count so we can go right into production. Thanks! :)
Hello! Happy New Year, hope everyone had a good holiday! I'm popping in to share that the Backerkit surveys for the Oxford Wooden Platforms have officially been sent, you can now fill out your survey to pick your shoe size and color selection. Reminder that if you are doing the Pay Over Time payment plan, you will not receive the survey until your payment plan is completed! As soon as it's completed, the survey will be automatically emailed to you. Once the payment plan backers have been able to complete their surveys, orders for final inventory count will be locked then we'll proceed with the bulk order! Please let me know if you have any questions, thank you!
Yay, so happy to share that the crowdfund goal has been reached, thank you sooooooo much everyone!! I'm thankful I get to bring my 2nd shoe design to life, couldn't do it at all without your help!
Because there's already many colors and sizes available right from the start, I will not introduce stretch goals at this time. However, due to one of your suggestions (thank you jaky!), I've been discussing with my manufacturer whether or not we can add a removable decorative tassel for the shoes! Here's a sketch below of what I mean:
He said that we could make one if we invest in the cost to create a mold for it and now that the crowdfund has reached its goal, I can commit to developing that with the bulk order!
There's still several hours left to go, thanks so much for supporting my last crowdfund of 2025! :D
