updated coffee bag sample (Patreon)
Content
the previous coffee bag was made with a recycled pleather, which raised the sample cost significantly and didn't allow it to be flat packed to save on shipping; the social media reception wasn't enough to justify the high costs, so I revisited it with my usual manufacturer to make it plush, and I think it's cuter now! the design is embroidered and soft, the unit cost is a fourth of what it was before, and I think it *should* do well enough at conventions to justify going forward..
but this year has been really difficult in terms of merch, almost all of the new things I've showed here have sold really really poorly, it's actually embarrassing to post anything on social that isn't the rayj plush (the only one doing sort of well). it's been making me consider slowing or stopping coyotic trouble again, but maybe we'll do better with the small things at cons. I'm still planning the monk puppy giant plush because I think that's the only thing that can succeed while still lining up with the ideals I want to express, but I don't know. I'll probably stop all small things and focus solely on clothes and large plush.
also, starshifter will come out of early access this month, and I'll probably start working on a new game for the rogues, maybe I'll use patreon for sneak peeks until we're ready for another campaign?
