A versatile version of the popular Ita style bag to show off your enamel pins and other accessories!

After looking back at my previous campaigns, as well as what encourages me to back current campaigns, I decided to add a new incentive to back!
These stretch goals will be for a set of Kickstarter exclusive colorway of the tea bears! These will unlock at different intervals, and will be included in every purse tier. So far, one tea cup bear is unlocked, and we are $500 away from unlocking the free gold foil paper crane stickers.
The pastel green bears will not be sold on my Etsy after the campaign, and will only be ordered as they are unlocked! I'll also have some available as an add-on in the BackerKit survey, for anyone backing the Kickstarter that wanted them without a purse.
Thank you, everyone, for your support! Fingers crossed that this picks up so we can unlock the brown and purple purses!
Have a wonderful week!
Thank you, everyone, for the support so far!
I wanted to go ahead and post an update about a price issue for the leftover bags - on the rewards, it states a purse will be $55 after the campaign. This applies to in person sales at conventions. Since Etsy has pushed for all stores to offer "free shipping" on orders of $35 or more, that means shop owners eat the costs of postage on orders above that amount.
This means a full priced $55 purse with free shipping, would end up being cheaper on Etsy than on Kickstarter, and cost me around $13 in postage, which would in turn make it a $42 purse on my end, barely over the break even point.
Because of the postage costs and the Etsy platform fees, the purses will be $65 on there, which does make it cheaper through Kickstarter, since I'm doing discounted $8 US shipping (and they won't even exist on Etsy if we don't hit the funding goal 😅).
Since conventions were my main selling platform, and hopefully by the end of next year they will return, in person pricing will be the $55 and online will be $65. I can't edit the reward boxes to reflect this clarification, but I updated the campaign and hopefully anyone else with concerns will read this!
Thanks so much for your feedback and engagement!
Thank you so much for the support so far! The base goal has been met, so the purses are for sure happening now!
Since the original stretch goal wasn't going to hit until $10k when we reached full funding for a free mini pin, I decided to add a smaller one for gold foil stickers at $6k:
Colors are not final, but this is hopefully the idea of how they will look! Every backer for a physical reward will receive one of these at random. They will be approximately 2.5" wide, printed on vinyl, with gold foil line work.
We still have 3 weeks left, so there's the possibility of more things being unlocked as we go!
Thank you, all, and enjoy the rest of your week!
