First Pledges to Ship: Enamel Pins Only
12 months ago – Sun, May 14, 2023 at 11:10:09 AM

Hi Everyone,

Thank you for your patience. I was able to look at which pledges only had enamel pins in them and I am going to start the process of getting those ready to go!

If you are one of those people you will see a charge very soon and I believe Backerkit will also ask for you to confirm your shipping address. Thank you all so much for your kind support over my first big project. It meant so much to me.

Warm Regards, Shanna!

May Update! Enamel Pins are here!
12 months ago – Mon, May 08, 2023 at 06:45:07 PM

Hi Everyone!

Thank you for your patience on this next update. Bags and wallets are still in process of being produced so I am still waiting to hear on them. I hope to have some news soon though on their shipment.

As for the other items. I just received all of the enamel pins! I'm going through them all and quality checking them. So giving them a grade A-C. Everyone who bought them through this Kickstarter will get a grade A pin. So do not worry there. But it does take some time to go through hundreds of pins. They are so nice and thicker too than before!

That being said once I go through all of those I may ship out to backers who just ordered enamel pins early. I'm going to see into the logistics of it. But if I can get some items shipped now I would be so happy to do so.

Warm Regards, Shanna!

Please enjoy some photos of the pins!

Small Update + Pin Draft
about 1 year ago – Tue, Mar 14, 2023 at 02:53:02 PM

Hi Everyone!

Thank you for your patience on my updates. My cat has been sick and sadly passed away yesterday so I've been a little slow.

I have received both the new color bags and the wallet samples and they look great. I am changing the mint color bag's sparkles to a little bit of a darker pink. Since the pink came out almost purple. But that is the only correction I had to make with them. I am also seeing what the wallets will look like with real bows on the back. So that might happen too!

So far all payments besides shipping have all been paid! I'm so excited to see all of the items arrive. Now is the waiting game.

I did get the mock ups from my pin manufacture over the new color pins. Since I didn't use them to make the first set they also sent how they will do the originals.

They make the best pins I've done and since that is so I wanted to move forward with them. So these might be a little thicker than the originals. (Gold metal will look lighter.)

Thank you all for your continued support! Shanna

BackerKit Surveys Almost Finished, Sample Updates
about 1 year ago – Mon, Feb 27, 2023 at 07:56:23 PM

Hi Everyone,

Thank you for your patience on this update. I have been working on trying to get all the BackerKit surveys completed and on making personal Etsy listing for those who wanted to go through that route with regards to VAT.

As for the BackerKit surveys we are still missing 9 of them. If you have not finished it in BackerKit could you please try to finish. I am extending the time until Wednesday 3/1 to complete it. After then I am locking orders and I am purchasing our full order. 

If you misplaced that link you can recover your BackerKit survey here. This will help get you what you will need. https://otome-gamer-ita-bag.backerkit.com/

Now some photo updates. Samples are finished!

Lighting seems bright. Mint bag pink might be updated to a little darker once I see in person.

Lighting again seems bright. Will confirm colors once samples arrive to see if any changes need made. I'm considering changing the back to have no bow screen print or a flat physical bow. What do you think? Or do you like the white bow on the back?

As always thank you so much for your support! I'm so excited to see these in person!

Warmest Regards and Love! Shanna

Stretch Goal Sample Bag Photos!
about 1 year ago – Wed, Feb 15, 2023 at 10:06:06 PM

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are doing well and I hope you are fine with all my update emails. I wanted to share the photos of the sample bags fronts for the Stretch Goal colors. They are still being put together. But it was really neat to see these from my manufacture tonight!

Please do not worry about the Mint bag's sparkle being green, I've already informed them that it is supposed to be a light pink which I hope to see the pink sparkle soon.

Also I have made one small update. The bottom sparkle has been moved up slightly as you can see from the sketch. I noticed on my original samples that one was getting bent and I didn't want that to happen to anyone else. Thank you for your understanding.

Also if you still haven't received your survey or missed it I do have a link that will recover your BackerKit survey. This will help get you what you will need. https://otome-gamer-ita-bag.backerkit.com/

Thank you so much for all your support for this project! I'm so happy you all loved my designs! Shanna
