hi everyone ! i'm so sorry this update is so late, we were preparing for katsucon and on top of the day job and patreon work i was super overwhelmed but thank you all for the support during this campaign 🖤 currently i have sent the surveys in for review and if those are approved i will begin sending them out soon !
i also just got in an updated sample of the ita wallet, i'm feeling a lot more confident about this design and just want to make a few minor alterations, i'll include some photos and details below:
sorry if these photos aren't the best, i'll get better ones later but i wanted to share this with you guys sooner since you've all been waiting ! this is a photo of the ita side of the wallet, now with the pattern correctly aligned, as well as the logo rotated correctly and the chain strap attached.
here is the inside of the wallet, the cards slots have been turned to the horizontal position which allows the pins to sit more comfortably in the wallet. i am not sure why they added two id holders ? should i keep it though ? it could be a fun way to display a photo or image of your favorite characters or memories <3
here is a photo of the bow side of the wallet, the manu still didn't really fix the shape of the ribbons so i'm going to try and get that to be a more purposeful shape, i also want to add back the horizontal ribbon element behind the bow.
here is a photo of where the ita insert currently is, i am considering flipping the design of the wallet so that the ita insert can be on the pocket side to not interfere as much with the cards.
the inside of the wallet has three pocket compartments where you can fit cash and thin items like your phone : )
here is a photo of the wallet with the two zippers instead of the previous snaps, while i liked the clean look of the snaps, this helps avoid bulging and keeps everything more secure.
lastly here is an example of the new straps. we will also still have the wristlet that will come with each wallet. i originally wanted the full chain strap but they also sent this hybrid chain strap that has a softer faux leather for the shoulder area. i will see if i can provide both as options ! which one would you prefer ?
thanks everyone again for backing my project i'd love your feedback regarding the questions i posted above if you have time !
lastly, if you didn't have a chance to pledge, i do have a preorder shop setup so you can still snag the pins or ita wallet <3 the link is on our main page !
