Project Update: Sweatshirts are here and shipping has begun!
In case you missed it on my socials, sweatshirts have arrived and I have already sent out the first batch of sweatshirt-only orders! Jet tags have still not been shipped to me yet even though I asked my manu to have them shipped to me by this point, so it looks like those who have pledged for jet tags will have to wait another week or so, after I get back from my next con this weekend.
I made the packaging extra special, so please share and tag me in your photos once you receive your order! I want to see everyone wear these so badly I'm so proud of how they turned out!!
The only other piece of news I have to share currently is I plan on updating my shop in mid June with leftover stock. I'm currently in the process of getting photos from some lovely models who will be repping these designs to post. So in case you or a friend missed out on pledging or preorders, your next chance is coming soon!
Thanks everyone for your support and patience!
Project Update: Production Update + Jet Tag Samples!
It's been a bit since the last update, I appreciate everyone's patience. I wanted to wait until I received some sample images before posting another update, and I finally got some:
*Please note that the colors above aren't reflective of the final product
Jet tags are expected to get shipped to me soon. As for the sweatshirts, they are still in production and don't have any production photos currently. However, since they're being produced locally I will take photos as soon as I receive them in hand.
We're still on time according to the schedule. I might even be able to ship out as soon as mid-May.
I plan on locking all surveys by May 4. Please make sure to double check and update your survey in case your mailing address needs to be updated.
That's all for now, next update I'll take in-person photos of everything!
Project Update: Jet Tags are now in production + Elira Sweatshirt Sample!
I figured we were overdue for an update so I'm here to provide some for ya. ^^
First off, Jet tags are now in production! Woohoo! I just submitted the files to my manufacturer last night and anticipate receiving these at the end of the month. If production for these go smoothly, I anticipate to fulfill jet tag only pledges in the first week of May.
Next, I have an in-hand sample of Elira's design!
At first glance, it looks amazing! However, this was one of the few sweatshirts that passed quality check. After going through all of the sweatshirts I received, 12/40 sweatshirts I ordered were flawed and deemed unsellable. I was so heartbroken because there was a significant quality drop in comparison to the first time I ordered Selen's design with them. After they have agreed to remake these at no extra cost, I will be soon switching to a new manufacturer. This should only delay further production by a week or so but I'll update ya'll if this changes!
Millie's design has been completed for a while now and I'm finishing up Doppio's design as we speak. His front design just took so long because of all the lines in his plaid..... orz
Finally, There are still 8 backers who have not completed their survey yet. Please double check and make sure yours is completed!
That's all for now! See ya'll in the next update! <3

Project Update: REMINDER! Please make sure card information is up to date! + Surveys coming soon
Thank you once again for giving me the opportunity for a successful crowdfunding campaign! I can't wait to put everything that was funded into production soon.
That being said, there are still many backers that need to update payment information. Please take the time to double check and make sure all payment information is up to date. There is still one more week left to make adjustments, otherwise if charging your preferred payment method fails on the last day your pledge will be cancelled!
If you have any questions on how to update your payment method, please refer to Backerkit's Payment Issue FAQ.
That being said, once the deadline has passed to update card info, surveys will start being sent out! Be sure to be on the lookout for that as to sooner surveys are filled out, the sooner I can start production!

Even though we probably won't unlock the remaining sweatshirt designs, if we reach $6500 before the campaign ends I'll unlock the remaining jet tags designs for ya'll. <3
Let's wrap this campaign with a bang!
Project Update: NEW FREEBIES: Every pledge now receives a random sticker!
Look at what's fresh off the press! As in like...I literally just finished these 5 minutes before posting this LOL
All orders now include one random sticker design seen from the group above. If you want the whole set, these are available as add-ons as well.
The campaign is so close to finishing with roughly 4 days left! We're almost there!! Praying we have one last good push for pledges so that Millie's design can unlock.
Project Update: Parfait Hour Sweatshirt Design Finalized
Since we're about $1k away from reaching Millie's goal, I decided to build up hype by finalizing the linework for her. If you can, help us spread the word of this design by sharing the tweet here! I'm so happy with how this composition came out, her outfit design is everything for me. ;v;
I'm still working on freebie sticker designs, but I'll try to finish those before the final week of the campaign. Thank you everyone for your continued support!
Project Update: First goal has been funded! + Working on new freebees
Thank you so much for your help in funding this project to its first goal yesterday! I’m happy it’s finally being seen more after some more sharing on Twitter.
We’re already close to unlocking the first stretch goal: the Dragoon Jet Tag! I’ll probably adjust the funding requirements for the remaining jet tags so that all of them are easily unlockable.
I’m also starting to work on some sticker freebees! These would be already available to those who pledge. I have also decided that I will be giving away freebie enamel pins to all backers if we unlock all stretch goals before the end of the campaign. Graphics for these will be updated in the Story section soon.
Parfait Hour is the next sweatshirt design to unlock, which means I’ll get started on working on finalizing the artwork to build up hype for my fellow Famillie!
One more thing for those following: I know a lot of you have mentioned that you are waiting until you can afford to be able to pledge. The neat thing about this campaign is that it actually doesn’t charge you until the campaign ends on February 28. So if you want to preregister your pledge to help unlock stretch goals sooner, you don’t have to worry about being charged until much later. That’s the beauty of crowdfunding campaigns over preorders ^^
