Kickstarter Information (Cardigan Drop #1)
This is the information on how preorders & freebies worked for the previous cardigan collection (January 2023).
I will update this information with stretch goals for the zipper hoodies & freebies soon, but here you can get a general overview of how the drop will work and how you can unlock freebies. I will post an update on instagram once this information has been updated for the Zipper Hoodies!
Subtle Cardigans with a resemblance to your favorite Genshin Character. Enhance your wardrobe with one of these cardigans.
I designed my website to act like Kickstarter
I originally wanted to run my cardigan collection with Kickstarter, but then I realized in order to lower the prices for you and to keep the fees down I would need to use my own website. My website is designed to act like kickstarter.
What does this mean and how does the website work?
So Kickstarter exists to help bring creative projects to life.
You can place a pre-order through the product pages like this one. There is a specific goal for each cardigan and freebie. To unlock the cardigan/freebie the goal must be met. If the cardigan does not reach the special money goal you will be refunded. Subtle changes may also be made to final cardigan design to improve the overall quality. For example, hand-embroidered areas may be replaced with machine embroidery.
Why do the cardigans need to be unlocked?
This is the first time I have worked with an outside source like this. So, the cardigan project is very expensive. As of now I only have samples made, in order to get a batch of cardigans, I need to reach a certain amount of money (referred to as stretch goals). If I can not get enough money for a specific cardigan my manufacturer will not make it. To help your favorite designs being unlocked, you can share their video on Tiktok & Instagram
What are the benefits?
Since you help to bring this project to life, you will get special benefits. The first benefit for you will be that you will get the cardigans for the cheapest price they will ever be offered for. After this drop, they will be up to $10 more. Also, only if you buy the cardigans during this drop, you will get special freebies like free Genshin necklaces, art prints of Genshin characters wearing the cardigan you bought and more.

****Note this is a time estimate: I added time buffers to the time needed to produce and send out the items, however there still may be delays that happen beyond my limitations. I will keep communications with you through website updates and post frequently on my socials so please rest assured***
Production Update April 5th: All items have been produced. They are now on their way to me and my logistics partner in the US. The quality of all items turned out great. Some designs my have been slightly modified to improve the overall quality of the design. For example, the gradient of the Kokomi Cardigan has been extended to the bottom to create the effect that was intended in the initial drawing and create a better resemblance of her character. The quality of the freebies is also very good. The art prints are printed on thick canvas material. The pilling combs are made from premium wood and should remove all pills from your items with ease. The necklaces are cnc milled and polished from stainless steel. The finish turned out very shiny. However, please be careful, when wearing them and take a look at the warning below.
Please be cautious:
