Happy New Year and Factory Update!
almost 8 years ago – Fri, Dec 30, 2016 at 02:42:44 PM

 Hi all!  I can't believe that tomorrow is the last day of this year.  Here is my final video update with a quick summary below.

  • Happy Holidays!
  • Did a factory visit yesterday
  • Although quoting a finish date of 12/10, the factory is still working on the Little Black Breastfeeding dress, although they hope to finish next week
  • Black sweatshirts are next to be produced
  • Everything is taking the factory longer to make then they originally quoted me but I don't want to rush them because quality is important.
  • As things come in, I will be shipping them out.
  • If you ordered more then one thing, I am offering a split shipping add-on where I will ship you out your garments as they come in. For only $6 which includes discounted shipping and ZERO handling fees, I will ship your items as they arrive. You can find this add-on in your backerkit surveys which were emailed to you.  If you need help accessing your backerkit survey, just email me at [email protected]
  • Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.  I'm busting my butt to start this business for you all and your satisfaction and happiness is my number one priority.  Seriously.
  • THANK YOU so much for your patience and for your support.  With your help we're empowering women all over the globe to breastfeed confidently in effortless style! 

Happy Holidays from my family to yours!
almost 8 years ago – Fri, Dec 23, 2016 at 02:09:17 PM

 I just wanted to send out a quick note to you all to say I hope you all have the happiest, the jolliest and the merriest of holidays this season!  2016 has been a crazy year with a lot of ups and downs.  Nothing is more important then family and I hope you all have a wonderful time celebrating life with the ones you love!

I can never thank you all enough for all the love and support you have given me this past year to make this first big production run happen.  Leche Libre is a mission of passion for me and I'm working hard to help all moms out there have an easier better time.  I know we've hit some timing issues, but I appreciate all your support and patience.  Together we can work together to make a better world for us and our families!  Happy holidays all!

Order more then one thing? Get your finished pieces now!
almost 8 years ago – Mon, Dec 12, 2016 at 03:41:43 PM

Did you order more then one thing?  Do you want to get your items as soon as they're done?  READ ON!

Hi all,  as you know some items are taking longer to finish production then others.  I have the Grey/Navy Sweatshirts as well as half of the Little Black Breastfeeding Dresses (sizes 2, 12, 14, and 16).  The rest of the Little Black Breastfeeding dresses will be done this week.  I want to get you clothing as soon as I can!

So, I'm NOW OFFERING a split shipping option.  If you have ordered the FULL COLLECTION or multiple items which include any of the items above  you are eligible for this new "ADD-ON" feature I'm offering via BackerKit.  Per the original Kickstarter agreement, you will still get one free shipment.  If you'd like to split up your order and get some items sooner, you can do the Split Shipping Add-on now for just $6 domestic and $25 international! If you select this add-on, I will ship to you a first wave shipment of what is done now and then a second shipment once the other item(s) are complete so you don't have to wait any longer then necessary.

Here is a guide on how to select the Add-On:

To select this Add-on, just go into your backers survey. You can find the link in the original survey I sent you back in September. If you have any issues finding your survey, just contact me and I can send you the link.

Once you go into your survey, skip forward to the 2) Add-On section.  You can click on the "Next: Add-ons" button in the bottom lower right corner to get to the 2nd section. 

Next, click on the first Add-on which is called "Ship My Available Garments" with the picture of packages just waiting to ship!

Click Add To Cart in the upper right. Your backer survey will now add it to your survey and calculate the amount you owe.  If you have a domestic address, it will just be $6!  If you live in Canada it will be $15 and for all other domestic packages it will be $25.  Click "Continue Shopping" in lower right corner to go back to the survey.

 

You will see it now on your add-on on the right side of your survey with your total.  When you click Next, it will prompt you to add your credit card information. Then you just need to confirm you address and press submit to finalize your survey.  Once you do that, I'll be able to process your order and get it shipped out now!

You must purchase this Add-on to get the items shipped in two waves. $6.00 for US $10 ($6 +$6 extra shipping) for Canada $25 ($6 + $19 extra shipping for All other international orders.  

SPLIT SHIPPING WAVE SCHEDULE:  

  • Wave 1: Cobra Grey/Navy Sweatshirts with Little Black Breastfeeding Dress: Shipping by Now -Dec 22nd
  • Wave 2: Black/Plum Sweatshirts with Little Black Breastfeeding Dress: Estimated to ship first two weeks of Jan 
  • Wave 3: Zipper Tunic and everything else: Estimated End of January. 

SWITCH YOUR SWEATSHIRT COLOR?

If you got a full collection and want to get your sweatshirt now with the Little Black Dress when it goes out in the next week or two, I still have a selection of Navy and Grey sweatshirts you can get, if you want to switch over from the Black or Plum which will be shipping out later.  Please note: Size Medium in Grey and Navy and XL in Navy is sold out, but I have XS, S and L in both colors as well as XL in Grey.  Sweatshirts switching is available while supplies last.  Email me at [email protected] if you're interested in switching.   

December Production Update
almost 8 years ago – Tue, Dec 06, 2016 at 05:51:02 PM


Hi all!  I wanted to touch base with y'all and let you know what is happening over here at Leche Libre Headquarters.  I am busting butt to get things made as quickly as possible.  The Cobra Grey and Navy sweatshirts are done! If you are unhappy waiting for your black or plum sweatshirt, consider switching colors.  You can see the pic above which is photoshoped to match as closely as possible the true Navy and Cobra Grey colors.  If you'd like to switch, just email me at [email protected]!

Here is a quick bullet list of the Production Queue and status: 

  •  The Grey and Navy sweatshirts: DONE 
  • The Little Black Dress will be done by Dec 10th! 
  •  Black Sweatshirt will be made next and hope to be done by end of December 
  • Plum Sweatshirt will begin after black and be done in January 
  • Zipper Tunic in Turquoise and Fuchsia: pushed until January (See below)

Quick production note about the Zipper Tunic:

I've had a couple issues with the Zipper Tunic style which are working out but have delayed production until January.  The manufacturer I was getting the brass studs from upped their factory minimum from the 5,000 pieces I need to 30,000 pieces with no price break for the added quantity, making them way too expensive to get.  I had to scramble to find a replacement which I have done and they arrived at the factory a bit ago, but they are slightly different then the first studs and the factory is waiting on a special part they need to affix the new studs. It is expected soon and production should start either end of December or beginning of January.  I'm doing my best but the will of GOD keeps getting in my way.  I wish she'd back down. (har har) Seriously though, I really do apologize about the wait and am working to get this all out there as soon as I can!

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns!  I'm doing all of this to make your #momlife easier.  I'm dedicated to working with you so that everyone is happy despite the few setbacks to the timeframe.  

I hope everyone out there is having a wonderful holiday season.  

Cheers,

Andrea

Hi all!  Update that things are moving.  I got the first round of sweatshirts: size Large for the Cobra Grey and Navy. As the completed sweatshirts come in, I will continue to ship them out.  Little Black Dress is in production too and I hope to have some to ship out next week.  The full collections will be going out later in December when everything is done.  If you got a full collection and absolutely need the sweatshirt now, please contact me and we'll see what we can work out.  

Happy holidays next week and hugs to everyone during this crazy time!
