Hello Kickstarter & Indiegogo Backer!
I hope life has been treating you well and you’ve had an incredible Easter break with friends and family :)
Soooo it’s been a little longer between updates than I would have liked... I was hoping to have better news to share but truth be told the C word, yes COVID, has reared its ugly head again.
The current lockdown situation in Shanghai has hit pause on production in a big way. The impact on businesses across China has been massive and even DHL has had limited to no service there for over a month or so... that’s when you know it’s getting tough!
Am I giving up? Absolutely not!!! I am speaking to suppliers daily and trying to find the best solutions to keep this dream moving forward. All suppliers and plans that were in place before the Kickstarter launch are still very much good to go, once they have the green light it will be full steam ahead.
Ok, that’s great to hear but where is production at?
The moulds are complete and ready for testing! In fact they have been ready and waiting for the last four weeks (due to COVID) desperately waiting for their first trial runs. Once they pass all initial testing requirements, we’ll hit go on production and then I’ll be able to present to you a much clearer and accurate production schedule. One that will let you know exactly WHEN you’ll have the ONE BRUSH in your amazing abodes!
Here’s the beautiful hunks of metal that are ready to make your ONE BRUSH:
So what have you been doing in the meantime?
Definitely not sitting still :) I have been lucky enough to travel to the Inspired Homewares Show in Chicago and Life Instyle show in Sydney Australia to exhibit yesēco and the ONE BRUSH. Both incredible opportunities to meet with retail stores and buyers from several different markets and gain feedback, inspiration and the confidence to keep pushing forward with my dream of making yesēco and the ONE BRUSH household names.
Updating your details and Surveys.
Several people have asked if they can please change their delivery address… the answer is definitely yes :) You’ll have the opportunity to update all this information when the final survey is sent out. The survey can only be sent out once (Kickstarter requirements) hence why I’m holding off until mass production is underway and I can have accurate shipping rates and timeframes in place.
