Kickstarter Information (Zipper Hoodie Drop)
Update April 16th (6:15 pm). All stretch goals have been successfully unlocked! All designs will be produced and you will get all the freebies!
Subtle Zipper Hoodies with a resemblance to your favorite Genshin Character. Enhance your wardrobe with one of these Zipper Hoodies.
I designed my website to act like Kickstarter
Before I made the Genshin Cardigan Drop, I 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 Zipper Hoodie and freebie. To unlock the zipper hoodie / freebie the goal must be met. If the zipper hoodie design does not reach the special money goal you will be refunded. Subtle changes may also be made to the final zipper hoodie designs to improve the overall quality. For example, hand-embroidered areas may be replaced with machine embroidery.
Why do the zipper hoodies need to be unlocked?
Zipper Hoodies like these are very complex and have many different components I need to source from different manufacturers or make myself. So, the zipper hoodie project is very expensive like the previous cardigan project. As of now I only have samples made, in order to get a batch of zipper hoodies, I need to reach a certain amount of money (referred to as stretch goals). If I can not get enough money for a specific zipper hoodie 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 zipper hoodies for the cheapest price they will ever be offered for. After this drop, they will be up to $20 more. Also, only if you buy the zipper hoodies during this drop, you will get special freebies like free Genshin bracelets, art prints of Genshin characters wearing the cardigan you bought and more (This may be subject to change until you can see the freebies in the stretch goals below).
April 16th: Website opens April 16th and closes May 7th (It may close earlier due to too many orders).
May: Sending the order requests and finalizing details.
June: Production begins, estimated to take around 20-25 days excluding public holidays.
July: Items shipped from manufacturer's side to me.
August / Beginning of September: Zipper Hoodies reach my side and I begin with fulfilling, quality control, finalizing touches, shipping out all the orders.
****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***
