Big Update!
I decided not to send surveys out last week as I wanted everyone to be able to see each item before they finalize their orders. Today, I received the sling bag samples as well as many of the finished products and I’m so excited to share! I will work this week to add actual photos of the products to the survey and send those out as soon as possible. 

Hoodies
I am happy with the ombre hoodie final samples. The ombre hoodies have the same cozy fabric that everyone loved with the first series, however, to give the ombre effect, these are printed and the spotted pattern is screen printed (as they were in series 1). The orange harlequin will also be available, so you will have 3 different hoodies to choose from with your pledge. Additionally, some series 1 hoodies will be available as add-ons but sizing is limited in some styles.

Sling Bags
The bags are amazing! The material is so soft and buttery, I absolutely love them! I may have been wrong about the straps. I really like the PU material for the straps. It allows for a perfect match and continuous feel. However, the printed pattern on the PU straps are unappealing to me. I’m considering asking if it could be embroidered or sticking to the plan of doing the webbing. The straps are 43” long. Extenders will be available. The bags are approximately 12”x7”. The ita window is 4.25”x5”.

Red Eye Tree Frog: I am very pleased with this sample. The only change I will make is to add a second keychain loop to the right side of the bag and I will add it to the other bags as well.

Purple Ombre: originally I was considering changing the shade of purple to better match the hoodie. However, it honestly looks pretty cute with the hoodie. I’m curious what you all think?

Kawaii Turquoise: changing the lily pads to the lime green color of the strap. Checking to see if there is a lighter yellow that could work better for the ita panel.

Green and Black: we didn’t raise enough founds to unlock this design but should we do it anyway? Curious how many people are interested in this design.

Pins and Other Accessories

The pins, bookmarks, and fidgets are in and they all look amazing!  The only accessory that I am still working on are the socks. We aren’t able to get the ombre to work with the socks. I am redesigning to create a cute alternative that still matches the hoodie. I will update you all on the socks when I can!
