Don't tell us you're not going to disappear every time you post, just to leave us hanging for months. We have been more than patient with you. Please engage with the community, even if there's nothing to update (though after this long, there honestly should be...pin manufacturing isn't THAT slow). Starting to regret not taking the option of a refund despite these designs being so very cute...

Hello! The next Pintopia is live now and that rekindled my excitement for this project. Yayy! I understand that a lot of factories will be closing soon for the Lunar New Year but we'd all like to see the progress on the pins so far, I'm sure something has been done in the past 3 months! Looking forward to hearing from you soon because this spotty communication doesn't instill much confidence... Remember any info is better than none! The pin designs are really cute and I'd love to have a reason to support any pin projects of yours in the future.
Project Update: Pin updates!
Mainly accepting colour choices here, the issues of over polished (thick lines) areas should be fixed in production it’s just a result of over sanding.
Currently it looks like Australia has set up delivery to the US again but the US is still refusing packages from us or it’s spotty as to what goes through so I’ll hope that it’s resolved by the time I have these little guys on hand
Project Update: Manufacturing changes and tariffs
Onto manufacturing, the factory I was initially working with just couldn’t get the more complex pins correct in sampling so i didn’t trust the full production process since colour placement was wrong or missing in a few of the options so I’ve shifted to another I’ve used before,
The old factory will still be handling
- sugar jar
- Strawpurry punnet
And the mini freebies since these looked lovely
New factory will have these adjusted pins and use a gradient effect instead of metal effects and the colours have had their required adjustments too! I’m so excited for production and to share it with everyone and also the other pins not listed!
Additional of each pin has been ordered! To make sure everything is covered and quality
Here are the final vectorised versions of the new designs
Sorry for the delay things have been shaky as I’ve been figuring out shipping now, Australia post has a new 3rd party option to pay tariffs ahead of time but the company I was hoping to work with hasn’t come up with a solution yet so I’m thinking this workaround will be the best bet since I don’t want each package to the US being hit with Aus + China tariffs, I’ll ship out everyone else’s first then the US stock will go to my friends her account is @Cinnitea on instagram if you want to check out her beautiful works!
