This last new sample reflects many of the changes we asked for, and while we’re definitely getting closer… we’re not 100% there just yet. Let’s break it down! 👇
✅ What’s improved: – The collar and hat fabrics are way better now – super soft, fluffy, and much more premium-looking! – The hat stripes are no longer printed – they’re made from stitched fabric panels, which makes everything look so much more polished ✨ – The yellow button on the shorts has finally been added!
📸 Check out the before/after comparison in the image below — from the original sample, to our mock-up adjustments, to the current version.
⚠️ Still needs work: – The bow is actually less appealing than the first version: it’s smaller, lacks presence, and the color is still off (we requested a deeper teal tone 🎨). – Both the hat and collar, although nicer in texture, still feel a bit too flimsy. We asked for more structure, especially on the side of the hat, which is still too tight and narrow. – The yellow button is just a flat piece of felt for now – we’ve requested something more premium-looking, with extra detail or dimension to make it pop like a real accessory.
NEW ADJUSTMENTS - focus on the side and button
We're staying on it and already sent feedback back to the manufacturer — hopefully the next iteration gets us even closer to our vision! 💫
🔍 What do you think so far? Would you tweak anything else? Or are we almost there? As always, thank you for following along this journey with us — we can’t wait to show you the final version when it’s ready! 🌟
📦 Shipping News – We Can Finally Ship to the USA Again! You’ve probably already read some of this in the updates for our other campaigns — but we now have even more progress to share!(And we’ll be updating the other projects accordingly very soon.)
So yes: this means that by the time we’ll be ready to ship the Delibears rewards, there will no longer be any issues. Everything should move smoothly, and we’ll be fully set up to ship worldwide, including to the US, also with no surprise fees. 💌
In fact, we’re thrilled to let you know that we’ve finally received official approval from our courier to activate the DDP shipping service!!!!! 🥳🎉 And we’re now setting it up on our shipping platform (there are still some technical steps to configure on our end, but the hard part is done!).
✨ This means we’ll finally be able to ship to the US again without unexpected fees or delays for backers — something we’ve been working toward behind the scenes for months.
And the best part? Despite all the recent chaos with the new tariffs and shipping issues, we were able to keep the new shipping prices really good and reasonable overall! 🙌
As soon as we receive all the Delibears rewards, shipping will resume worldwide — including Europe, the US, and the Rest of the World, with improved stability and full tracking thanks to the new service.
