DESIGN YOUR OWN COLLECTION UPDATES

Hello birds,

WOW! This month has flown by. With launching our collaboration with Give It Hell, finishing a ton of orders myself in my workshop, ordering another Ready To Ship batch from the Chicago production team, and vending at Harley Davidson’s 120th anniversary at the Iron Horse Hotel in Milwaukee… I am not shocked Design Your Own Order Week has snuck up so fast! We’re re-opening Friday! It’s Monday so needless to say, I’m very busy preparing for the launch.

7/21 - 7/28

The Design Your Own collection will be open for an unlimited number of orders with a Sept 22 shipping turnaround.

I will be trying a different production process this time around. The new way has been a business dream of mine so I’m very excited. I’m definitely pushing myself out of my comfort zone but it needs to happen in order to grow!

For inspiration - I recommend looking under Leather & Material, going through recent Blog Posts, and recent Instagram Posts. I usually leave a product description in the caption. If you see something that isn’t described, feel free to reach out for clarification.

This time around I’m going to work with our small Chicago artisan team to make your orders. It’s about time I get help with this collection. I’m already working with them in the Ready To Ship collection. But, real talk, I just finished making like 45 or something DYO orders alone, and that was a lot.

I have a lot of goals for this small business of mine, but my main goal is to continue making amazing handcrafted leather goods that can be passed down as heirlooms to my awesome customers!

I’m excited to see what the artisans and I can create together. They’ll be able to cut and sew the orders and I’ll do all of the designing, original samples, exclusive one-of-a-kind Ready To Ship goods, Design Your Own + Ready To Ship add-ons, quality check, shipping, so much more, and everything else in between for vending opportunities, content creating, or chatting with you.

That being said, let’s get to the changes that are happening to the Design Your Own collection :

  • Choose your style’s FRINGE TRIM and HARDWARE TABS.

  • New 12% off discount code to REMOVE FRINGE.

  • There is no longer a spot to “leave your notes” to respectfully decline custom requests as we transition to a new production method.

  • A new & very limited hand dyed NEON LIME color.

  • New fringe options! We’ve decided to open all leather options as fringe options.

  • Order changes (like changing your leather or style) are no longer accepted on your Design Your Own order after 24 hours of your order being placed.

  • No more Hand Dyed Both Sides Fringe! I’m only offering the Hand Dyed Front Side Fringe now. It ages way cool anyway!

  • You now have the option to fully insure or add Signature Delivery.

  • Bird Trouble DYO bags no longer include the convertible straps.

  • Pricing has lowered on add-ons such as hand-stitching and studs.
