Hi All,

We have managed to unlock two more pins to add to your collection should you so desire. 

My wheels spin!!

Drummer cat has been proofed by the factory and a sample is being made and Fraidy Cat parade float is in the proofing phase. Our band leader cat and Pumpkin reveler pins are in hand here already and the other pins are having molds made and a sample produced. The pins will go into production as soon as samples are approved.

Our ITA bag factory is checking in weekly and standing by. 

Have a great weekend!

Veggie Car pin unlocked more pins to come!

Hi Everyone, 

Welcome to our new backers. I wanted to let you all know we have unlocked our Veggie Car design. It is a spinner pin (both wheels spin) with screen printing AND transparent enamel in the balloons. 

Veggie car will remain unlocked as long as funding is at or above 4500

He's kinda expensive with all of the extras so be sure to get him on Kickstarter as all the pins regardless of frills are the same price during the campaign. 

I will tell the factory and have them make a sample for us. I am waiting on some quotes for the next round of pins (shipping from China has gone up recently) and we will start showing those proofs to you soon. 

Thank you all so much. The next update will be to show off more pin art and the enamel pins we just got in. We have both Band Leader cat and Pumpkin reveler here and I have quality checked them. 

Have a great weekend and thanks so much!

Two more pins unlocked!

Pumpkin Reveler is unlocked and will remain so if the funding level remains above the stretch goal. Smoke glows in the dark!

Hi Everyone,

We unlocked Pumpkin reveler earlier last week but I hadn't mentioned it to everyone yet. I wanted to make sure we stayed above the stretch goal. The good news is we have and you can add it to your pledge or select it as an option if you also backed for pins. I had paid in advance for these pins so the factory had started on both Band Leader Kitty and Pumpkin reveler so they are in progress now. 

We also managed to unlock our Juggler Spinner pin! I spoke to my factory last night and let them know to get started on the sample pin so we can check on the colors and function prior to mass production. When the sample is ready they will send photos and I will pass that along to you all as well.

The Juggler is unlocked and will remain so as long as the funding remains above the requirement for the stretch goal

We are getting closer to a 4th pin, I am finalizing that design today and will have previews for you all soon. We still have a little ways to go on that one but if everyone backing sits tight I am confident that we will be able to unlock this pin. I will also add on a couple more for good measure just in case. 

Thanks all and if you have any questions or need anything please let me know. 

Fully Funded!

Hello everyone!

I'm Ash Evans the artist and designer behind the Black Retro Cat ITA bag. I wanted to thank you so much for your quick action yesterday. We were fully funded pretty fast. Its so nice to see so many returning faces for this project. I always say the highest compliment is a return customer. If you are new to me and my work welcome!! and don't worry you are in good hands. 


The early bird pricing for the bag itself has ended it was only offered for the first 24 hours so if you are in that tier you are going to want to stay there if you want to get a bag. We are in the process of unlocking stretch goals so any adjustments to your pledge should still be done in that tier if you are in it. If you have any questions about your tier or need help please message me. 


Stretch Goal unlocked!

Our first stretch goal pin has also been unlocked. 

Pin is unlocked meaning it is able to be added to any pledge or available for selection if you have already have a pin in your tier

We are 75.00 away from unlocking our next pin as well! Don't worry there is plenty more where he came from. 

As soon as pin unlocks it can be added to your pledge or selected if you have pins in your tier or add ons.

One more thing I made an error on one of the tier descriptions. The enamel pin set has a confusing incorrect description that I can't change now. You are getting 4 pins. I know it says one of 4 but in my sleep deprived mind it made sense at the time. I apologize and thank you to all who pointed that out. 

We have plenty of time to unlock items so sit back, relax and I won't bug you all too much with updates, I'll just pop in for questions and to update stretches from time to time. I have already contacted the factory to let them know we will be placing an order with them in August and I will be updating them on estimated quantities so they aren't surprised with a number at the end. This keeps expectations on track and if they feel they need to source additional materials they will. 


I appreciate you and thanks to all who kicked off our project on Pop Shop live yesterday! You kept the energy up as we got this project going. Thanks to all who are backing now you have taken the stress out of funding for me and that means a lot!

Have a great weekend!

Ash Evans
