☆ Thank you! ☆

We’ve reached the end of the campaign; thank you to all 990 of you amazing backers! You guys made this campaign such a huge success, and I couldn’t have done it without all of your support, thank you guys! ♡

☆ What's next? ☆

In two weeks, I will receive the funds from Kickstarter, after which I can contact my manufacturers to begin production of all the products. If your card was declined, Kickstarter gives you 7 days to fix your payment before your pledge is dropped from the campaign. Please note that I'll not be able to add you back if you're dropped!

☆ BackerKit Surveys ☆

For this campaign, I will be utilizing BackerKit to collect shipping fees, send out surveys to collect addresses and for you to choose the specific crewnecks/pins/lanyards/etc and let me know which add-ons you pledged for. I am currently still finalizing the BackerKit survey to ensure there are no mistakes and will be sending them out to everyone in the next few days!

I'll make a second update once all the surveys have been sent out with detailed instructions on how to use BackerKit. Do watch out for this update and make sure to read it thoroughly as I know BackerKit can be confusing to those who haven't used it before :)

For those that missed out on the campaign, I'll have a preorder store available through BackerKit for one week! The store will go live around the same time as when I send out the backer surveys!

☆ Timeline ☆

Here is a quick reminder of the estimated timeline for this campaign! If anything should arise that may delay the timeline, I'll make sure to notify all of you as soon as possible!

Thank you again! I'm so excited to see all the sweaters, pins, and other products be made and even more so to send them out to all of you. I had never imagined I would receive this much support for this project so thank you all so so much! As always, if you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to DM me here or email me at [email protected]

5 NEW Pin Designs + Lanyard Sample Photos
over 3 years ago – Fri, Nov 06, 2020 at 10:57:08 PM

I hate sounding like a broken record but just in case anyone isn't aware yet! Shipping is not included in your pledge and is charged separately through BackerKit!

Hi everyone!

Thank you for all your suggestions in my previous update, I felt super inspired and have designed a total of 5 new pin designs! Two of the designs have Kickstarter Exclusive variants as well, making it a total of 7 designs~ To add additional whale pins to your collection, just add CA$15 to your pledge total for every additional pin! Let me know in the comments which of the new designs is your favorite! 💗

I am dum and accidentally swapped the labels for Dusk and Dawn whales oops

❗️Kickstarter exclusive pins will only be available through this Kickstarter❗️Any extras/B grades after the campaign may be given out/included in shop events, but they will not be officially listed in my shop or ever restocked again! 

In other exciting news, I've already put in a sample request for the lanyards and have received photos from my manufacturer today! And they look absolutely stunning! All the details in my design printed perfectly and I couldn't be happier aaaa 🤩

Reminder that additional lanyards can be added to your pledge for CA$11 each!

Finally, someone has brought it to my attention that there is an error in one of the pledge tiers! All backers in the 2 Embroidered Crewnecks tier accidentally had an incorrect shipping fee added to their pledge. I've already reached out to everyone currently in the tier about this, but to summarize, no need to worry or take any action, you will be charged the REST of the shipping fees that wasn't fully covered by whatever was added to your pledge here through BackerKit! I'll send out another reminder about this towards the end of the campaign, but if anyone has any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to me! 🥰

I'm hoping to have time to add one other stretch goal to this campaign before it ends, a product type that hasn't been included yet, so stay tuned! 👀

Thank you again to everyone for your support, you guys are amazing! 🐋💖

We did it! All funded in an hour! + Important Notices!!

Hi everyone!

We did it! Thank you all so much for an amazing first day of the campaign, not only did we reach the initial funding goal in 10 minutes,we've also unlocked ALL the stretch goals in just 1 hour! 💕 I'm honestly a little speechless at this overwhelming support, I never would have imagined this before I launched this project. You guys are absolutely amazing and thank you all so so much supporting me and my designs! 😭❤️

Some of you have asked me about new designs/colors! Unfortunately, I won't be adding new sweater designs to this campaign, but I am considering adding more enamel pin designs! 💙 What other kind of themed whales would you be interested in seeing! Let me know in the comments~ 🐳

❗Important Notes❗

Regarding this campaign, I just want to remind everyone and summarize some key charts here!

Again, because shipping is difficult to calculate ahead of time as crewnecks, by nature, are harder to ship then small pin items like my previous kickstarters, you were not charged for shipping when you pledge. However, this means❗ shipping fees will be charged separately❗ (through BackerKit, based on your package weight and destination country) after the campaign is over! Here's the shipping fees chart that provides a rough estimation of the shipping costs you will be charged:

Below is the add on chart to help you calculate how much you need to add to your pledge for additional items you want to receive, please use the CAD prices❗, USD prices are only listed for reference:

If you have any questions about calculating your pledge amount, don't hesitate to shoot me a message! I'll be happy to help you figure out the correct tier and amount to pledge for :)

Lastly, this is the estimated timeline for this project!

Finally, if you have any questions, be sure to check out the FAQ section of my page! If it's not answered there, please send me a message here on Kickstarter or email me at [email protected] and I'll get back to you as soon as I can! ☺️💕

Early bird discounted tiers are ending in less than 24 hours so if you have friends or family you think will be interested, let them know about this campaign! 

Thank you again to everyone, you guys are amazing! 🐋💖
