Overview

I'm on a Laser Quest. To purchase a laser cutter for KITSCHY Jewellery.

At the moment, I use the facilities available at my University to make bespoke jewellery for my business KITSCHY. I am determined to purchase my own laser cutter so that every part of the design and make process can be completed in-house. A laser cutter is fundamental for my business to operate and with my final year in University looming, I would love to set up my own personal studio.

In return for your support, I'm excited to launch a brand new limited edition jewellery collection for this project which you can find in the perks section – this will be the only time and place you’ll be able to grab them!

Hello!

Hey, my name is Kit! I am a fourth year Digital Interaction Design student and a self-employed designer-maker and businesswoman for KITSCHY Jewellery. Some of you may know me as @gutter.bratz from Instagram and TikTok.

KITSCHY jewellery is a design-led, independent brand specialising in original and fun handmade statement acrylic jewellery. Every piece is designed and hand-crafted using hypoallergenic materials. Our aim is to bring a little fun, quirk and colour into the lives of our customers with the goal of inspiring, promoting, and encouraging self-expression and individuality.

I'm ready to expand KITSCHY and by purchasing a laser cutter SO MANY opportunities will be opened up.

 

REWARDS FOR BACKERS

I have designed a few limited edition exclusive jewellery pieces that will only be available to purchase through this campaign - you won't be able to buy these again!! These will be the very first pieces I make after the laser cutter has been delivered and installed. However, if the goal is not met there will be a slightly longer wait until I will be able to make and distribute the orders (just so you know). If all goes well, I am aiming to have the laser cutter ready to go by the end of August but I will keep you updated if there are any changes.

You may only wish to contribute, and if you do I just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT, I literally cannot explain how much I truly appreciate that!

 

WHY DO I NEED A LASER CUTTER?

Purchasing a laser cutter will quite literally change the dynamic of KITSCHY in all the best ways! Plus the possibilities and benefits are endless, just to mention a few:

  • I will be able to prototype brand new and exciting ideas.
  • I can cut pieces in my home studio meaning that the time-frame from conceptual idea to physical product will be reduced significantly. 
  • It will allow me to scale the brand up to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL!!
  • I will no longer be bound by a specific booked one hour per day time slot and will have the opportunity to offer fully custom/customisable pieces so that your jewellery is even more unique and bespoke to you.

Your backing will help us to develop new ideas and create even more unique and exciting KITSCHY pieces. Having our own laser-cutter in the studio will give us more flexibility to prototype new designs, offer custom pieces, and improve our product range. (Not to mention a whole bunch of other exciting ideas I've been thinking about).

 

ABOUT THE LASER CUTTER

I have researched into the best model which would suit myself and the studio space I have available. I decided that the LS3040 Desktop Laser from the wonderful folks at HPC Laser will be the perfect fit.

I have requested a quote and the machine (+delivery, installation) will cost a minimum of £4300.

If the goal is not reached, the funds will be tucked away into savings until I can raise enough for the laser. If we are successful, or even exceed this goal, all of the additional funds will be put towards the studio space and purchasing more materials.

 

ABOUT KITSCHY

KITSCHY came to fruition in April 2019 out of my personal discontent with the jewellery status quo. I was compelled to produce something that differed from the commercialised, mass produced, poor quality products currently offered by the fast fashion market. I believe that jewellery is an extension of unique personalities and I set out to create jewellery that embraced individuality and encouraged self-expression. I aim to empower others to feel bold, confident and fierce.

You can find us on Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest and Facebook if you want to check us out. Just search for @ThatsSoKitschy.

 

AND FINALLY

This is your chance to nab some exclusive KITSCHY pieces and to support me in taking this brand to the next level. If you are unable to contribute, please help me to spread the word by telling your friends and family and sharing this campaign on your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest, WhatsApp Group, or whichever social media platforms you use.

Thank you so much for reading and sharing! Don't forget to check out the awesome perks and get in touch if you have any questions.
