♥Hello there everyone!♥

☆My name is Shanna, but a lot of people know me online as Mew and I create work for my brand Magical Mews, which I sell on both Lolita Collective and my website. I focus a lot of my work around Japanese fashion, kawaii aesthetic, magical girls, otome, video games and anime related content.

☆This is my second Crowdfunding project and I'm so excited and I'm still so nervous just like the first one. But since the first one did so well I have some confidence to push me even more.

As for the bag and berets I came up with the idea as I was wanting a couple cute accessories to match all my MC outfits. I'm really picky and wanted one that could match my style but my love of cute things.

♥My First MC Drawing♥

My first MC Sketch

What is an Ita Bag?

An ita bag is either a handbag, purse, or backpack where you can display items you adore with the security that they will not get lost. They are used a lot for expressing one or more things you love so much it hurts. Which is why it is called and Ita Bag. In Japanese the word Itai is the word for ouch or pain. So you love this so much it is painful.

☆After the success of my first crowd funded bag and creating the sketch of these two items I thought why not try to make it a reality not only for myself. So I sent off the concept art sketches to the manufacture.

Bag Concept Art (Some parts have changed.)

Beret Concept Art

These were the images I first sent to my manufacture.

Photo sent to me from the Manufacture. Heart will be changed to the color of the horns and the original insert will be changed to white.

Worn photos of both bag and beret. Along with front and back of beret.

Inside the bag. Lots of space. I have a full makeup bag and my wallet in there which only took up half the bag.

♥Bag Info!♥

Taxes, Fees, & Customs:

Dear EU and UK supporters. Please be aware of how I plan to process your pledges and rewards because of VAT. (You are welcome to go through backerkit after, but all of the taxes, fees, and customs will be up to you to deal with.)

1. First please pledge through Indiegogo. (This will help fund the project and reserve your spot.)

2. Once Indiegogo is over I will be doing surveys and updates through Backerkit. Please sign up.

3. When items finally arrive and I begin to ship I will create each of you your own personal order on Etsy. (Since Etsy calculates VAT in their sales and Indiegogo does not. Please note most UK and EU Vat is around 20% added onto the price of the item.) I will then refund your original pledge through Paypal so you can complete your purchase of your Ita Bag or Berets.

4. By pledging through Indiegogo first you are agreeing to this process. If you do not feel comfortable I ask you to please wait until after the Indiegogo for whatever bags or berets may be left from the order.

Risks and challenges

First thank you for helping support my project. I would like you to know this is the second time I am doing something as big as this, but I am excited and hope to exceed your expectations. Here are some Risks and Challenges I could see possibly happening according to others who have done similar projects.

QUALITY & STANDARDS

First this is my design, but the product itself and the materials used for it are from China. I have received my samples of both the berets and the lavender bag and have been very happy with the quality and attention to detail they have been able to produce. I researched many hours to find the right manufacture and all of the reviews on them have been wonderful with the products received.

COLOR DIFFERENCES

When it comes to the colors of the stretch goal bags there might be some slight difference. I plan to get them as close to the art as possible, but since I do not have the samples of those bags I can't say for certain they won't have any slight changes.

DELAYS

I am the sole person working on this project. So some delays may occurs since it is only I who will be doing all the work. Tasks including: receiving, checking, packaging, and shipping product. Along with all additional computer tasks. If a delay like that were to occur I will notify and update about this delay.

Delays with my manufacture could occur. China has several holidays that they close down their factories for. This could put a small pause on production of product. They have also been experiencing closures do to Covid 19 which could also cause a slight delay on production.

REFUNDS & CANCELLATIONS

After the Indiegogo has come to an end there are is no way to refund or cancel a pledge for any reason. Please make sure that you are aware of this and accept these terms as part of making your pledge to this Indiegogo.
