Next Release: 24th September 2022

Posted by Misa on 16th Sep 2022

Hi everyone,

Wow, time flies!
I had a crazy July and I took all of August off to do a small release with the SUNCATCHER series and to restock.
I'm proud to announce that my next major release is the 24th September, which will coincide with my second collaboration for the month of September.

The first half of September I had the absolute pleasure and honour of collaborating with SMASH! Sydney Manga and Anime Show for their 15th Year Anniversary. I still remember when I was still a uni student, I saw the huge line outside of the Roundhouse and wondered what was going on. To think that SMASH! is now so big and the fact that I loved it so much even though I went briefly this year, it can only mean one thing - PLS GIVE US MORE. (On second thought... whatttttt that was 15 years ago!)

I loved seeing people in their cosplay costumes. I loved seeing people seeing things and going "OH LOOK AT THAT" and resonating with strangers due to a shared interest or hobby. I also had a few bittersweet moments when I thought to myself, wouldn't it be amazing and ideal if we could just cosplay and wear whatever we wanted every day? Every day would be like a festival *sigh* That would be the absolute dream of dreams. Anyway, digressions aside - for the SMASH! collab promotions, I have put up a special offer until the 23rd September 2022 (or until the coupons stop working), so check it out (or even, checkout) as I don't run sales and this is the only chance you will have for 2022.

OK, so starting on the 24th September I will be involved in a second collaboration to celebrate more anniversaries, and decided to just bring my release to this day. Things that you will see in the new release:

  • Apparel/ clothing
  • The new TAMA earring (hopefully)
  • Made to order design which is as close as you can get to a Christmas design (HMMM)
  • ??? Collab related product - limited availability until the 30th September 2022 only

On 1st October 2022 I am going to a new pop up location (WEST SYDNEY I HEAR YOU) - I've never ventured out west or south actually, so this is going to be interesting. This is in collaboration with a shopping centre and the local council :)

Anyway, somewhat exciting things happening and I'm actually still recovering from tendonitis in my right wrist. It absolutely sucks because it keeps coming back (as it never healed completely and unfortunately I believe it's here to stay... and gets better with "management") - imagine reaching in your bag to take something out to have your wrist hurt. Simple things you take for granted but now with restricted movement - while it does affect my making to some extent (I can't put my hands in certain angles), I think I'll be back on track in about 2 more weeks and it'll be fine again.

I want to bring you guys some great things, and that's because I love designing and making them. I am still concentrated on my CLASSIC series (those time and time again designs that will be loved and worn for a lifetime), so I promise you, I'm not going far - I just love sharing while I can.

See you on the 24th!
