happy tuesday ya'll! I've got a few more production updates for ya....

first, we have our leather colors picked for the new samples! white and yellow for the honduran white bat...


and purple for the dreamy bat, with a new insert color as well!


we're getting a few color samples in to see what color will be right for marine bat, who may have to undergo a bit of a design change depending on our options... but we'll see!

also, fat bat memo pads AND batty blind bag charms are on their way to us! ๐Ÿ–ค



I only have a photo of the memo pads to share currently, but im sooo excited to see them all!!! โค๏ธโค๏ธ

survey deadine EXTENDED!
7 days ago โ€“ Fri, Nov 15, 2024 at 10:11:43 AM

hey ya'll! happy friday!

after considering some of the feedback from you guys wanting to see more samples before choosing your batpacks, & because of a few requests I've gotten from people asking for extensions, ive decided to extend the survey deadline until the end of this month!

ideally, id love to have the survey open until ALL samples have arrived, but we need to know how many of each design are being ordered ASAP so I can properly budget for manufacturing each design option, and I don't want to accidentally manufacture too little of a design and be forced to reorder them later (it's not cheap! ๐Ÿ’€).ย 

however, youre always welcome to request a change to your survey at ANY time, even after your order is locked! if you see a new sample and want to switch your choice to it, please just message me or backerkit literally any time and we will be happy to help you :)

speaking of samples, im hoping we'll be able to have our first look at the new ones sometime next week!

in terms of production, the items I mentioned last update (the memo pads and the charms) are still in progress. in addition, the new sticker designs have also now been ordered so those should be on the way soon!

and, of course, thanks as always for your support & your patience ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿฆ‡

production update: new samples ordered!
11 days ago โ€“ Sun, Nov 10, 2024 at 05:51:09 PM

hey yall! just wanted to let you know that we've finished getting the next two designs sample ready, so our first set of three new samples are currently underway!

of these three samples, one is a new version of the original design with a few changes & two are brand new designs: the honduran white bat & the dreamy bat!

of all the designs in the lineup, the dreamy bat is definitely the most complicated, so im hoping to get that one out of the way ASAP! luckily neither of these designs required any serious changes when converting to pantone, which i was a little worried about for dreamy bat ๐Ÿ˜…

anyway, other than samples, here are two of our add on items that have already arrived!


the all bats are beautiful sticker & the print set! the batty blind bag pins + the fat bat notepads are currently in production as well :D slowly but surely starting to get everything together!

end of october update!

hey ya'll! big thanks to everyone who's filled our their surveys so far -- if youre still waiting to get yours in, thats totally fair! based on feedback from you guys, we're considering extending the survey deadline until people are able to see more of our finished samples, so youve definitely still got some time.

i got back from my anniversary (now upgraded to ENGAGEMENT!! ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’) trip earlier this week and almost immediately had to jump into overtime for my fulltime job + our family pets have been having a myriad of health issues I've been trying to help my dad with, so i dont have much in the way of updates yet. i had to play catch up with some production work for my regular store & monthly membership clubs, so next on the list is putting together the design files for the next batch of samples!

our current production plan is as follows: the next set of samples will be the original brown bat (with some changes), the honduran white bat, and the dreamy bat. once we're happy with those three samples, we can start mass production on those at the same time as we start on samples for the next three designs, and so on so forth! I'm hoping that staggering production this way will help get things done more efficiently & with less stress for the factory in the upcoming holiday season.ย 

thats the idea, anyway! if anything changes, ill be sure to let you guys know ๐Ÿ–ค

remember: youre always welcome to message me on social media (@ANDPIERRES) or reach out via email ([email protected]) if you have any questions or need to make changes to your order after its locked! we're always happy to help ๐Ÿฆ‡

thanks again as always for all the support & happy halloween! ๐ŸŽƒ

youll have until the end of November to complete your surveys (to account for the added time waiting for approval), and you can change your shipping address up until the 1st of January, 2025!

as always, you can always contact me here or via email if you have any questions about your order or about the survey. as a reminder, batpacks are currently expected to ship out in SPRING 2025!
