Hi everyone!

I wanted to give a small update here to say that I have paid the molding and sampling costs and a sample of the Cherry Blossom Binder is being made as we speak! 

I hope to have photos soon once the sample is in my hands to give folks a better idea of what to look forward to with this project. 

Since I've got a sample in production, I can go over an updated list of specifications for the binders below:

🌸 Exterior

✔️ 9-Pocket zipper-enclosed binder
✔️ Bright, textured PU leather covers with full-page cover design drawn by Zandra Illustration
✔️ Small logo on back and cherry blossom icon on the spine
✔️ Strong & secure stitched-in matching zipper & zipper pull

🌸 Interior

✔️ Side-loading pockets
✔️ Sewn-in pages
✔️ Acid-free archival pages
✔️ 24 double-sided pages (4 more than the average binder on the market of this size)
✔️ Can hold up to 432 cards!!

I'm very excited to see these come to life!

As of right now, my hope is to launch close to the end of May, if not early June. This will entirely depend on when the sample makes its way to me and as long as the quality meets my expectations, I can continue with finalizing the budget and project details! 

I have 2 designs laid out for the project currently, but I may be adding up to 2 more as potential stretch goals. I am open to hearing everyone's thoughts on what you think of the current designs so far!

To keep the project in scope, I am only going to be doing a one-color/one-design/one-size model. As in, all designs will only be available in one color and in one size only (9-Pocket). I would love to offer more sizes or colorways in the future, but as it stands, the minimum order I have to place for each design is rather large, and the binders themselves take up A LOT of space. 

Both of these are things I will be keeping in mind heavily to ensure the logistics of this project can run smoothly.


That's all for now! If you have any questions, feel free to comment or shoot me an email! I'm super excited to hear what you all have to say. 

Cheers, 

Zandra
