Hello everyone!

Just a quick but important update. It looks like the bags are taking longer because of the amount of orders going out because of the tariffs and there's a chance that I might have to pay more for shipping. This will mostly affect EU customers as I will have to pay more to get a representative to help me as well.

All orders will be completed closer to October but still looking for them at the end of September. Please, again if you need your order asap, get the extra shipping added on. EU orders will be packed asap but it might take an extra week or two to get the info from the rep.

Sorry about the delay but a lot of economic factors are playing into this and it is completely out of my hands.

I will say that I'm glad they took their time with the bags because they look so much more sturdy than my samples. As always I will reach out with more info but please message me any time. Again, this is all due to tariffs and the economy in America right now.

Please at least be excited about having some super high quality bags soon!

Thank you for your support,

Lexi

Hi All,

Thank you for your continued patcience with this project. I am expecting a 3-4 week delay with my manufacturer. They've informed me that the bags are still in production and they'll most likely be done at the end of the month.

They let me know that the bag is more complex this time around and they are making sure each and every one is up to standard which I appreciate.

I can't ask my manu to work faster if this is for quality and due to tariffs, the fastest shipping I can get is by boat which takes up to 4 weeks. Please note I am doing this mostly alone and quality checking every pin, bag and extras. I will have to pay extra fees to get the bags out because of the tariffs that have gone into effect so far. In the event that this order is hit by more tariffs, International shipping will have more delays.

Please let me know asap if you'd like to upgrade your shipping ($20US - $40 WorldWide).

I am happy to note that all pins, keychains and stickers are here so shipping will be swift as long as all of the bags are good.

I know some of you have birthdays and cons coming up that might be missing this bag so I will be including a free froggie pin with every order for the delay. I am also giving you guys only access to my Etsy for 40% off everything as a thank you for waiting on these while they are still being made. Anything from the sale will be shipped next day. This will end Friday https://apparelleelexi.etsy.com?coupon=MAOMAO

Also, the correct versions of the Beautiful Man with flower pins are in and they look great!

Thank you again,

Lexi

Hello Everyone,

Just adding a small update. The bags are still in production and I have them triple checking the quality because I need these to be perfect for you all! It's looking like early September is the closer shipping date. If you need it expedited once they drop, please notify me ASAP. It will be $20 for USA and $40 everywhere else.

My Etsy is also going on sale today to make room for all of the Maomao things so shop here if you're interested. https://apparelleelexi.etsy.com

Here's some messages from earlier in case you missed them last time.

Once again, if you haven't paid for your original order and haven't reached out to me, you risk losing your bag and freebies.

Yellow Dress Maomao pins will also be available to add on (sorry I forgot about her) and as always, just message me and I'll add it to your order ($12).

Thank you,

Lexi
