I don't about ya'll but I'm buzzing with excitement with being able to share this project with everyone! I know some of you are eagerly waiting to be able to get your hands on your very own YumYumCha merch and we'll be able to do so very soon!

Here is a sneak peek of some goodies and freebies to expect:

This is the full planned stretch goals (including the initial funding goal) we have so far and if we knock it out of the park and unlock them all, I will most definitely be adding more.


Don't forget that the first 20 backers of ANY pledge tier also receive a handcrafted YumYumCha themed lucky red envelope + Lunar New Year vinyl sticker.
Also not to forget that you have access to exclusive cross collab rewards if you back both projects (physical tiers containing a plush reusable bag charm only)!


That's all for now and will be the final update before the big launch, see ya'll very soon on the other side!

How cross collab works is that if you back both projects, you unlock FREEBIES from BOTH of these projects! So if you back both of our projects, you will receive an exclusive YumYumCha vinyl sticker pack from me and an adorable onigiri acrylic charm from Pinbuds!

Check out their page if you're looking to grab a sweet itabag (with heaps of early bird offers)!

With only a few more days left, let us know which design are you most excited for!

I am overall very happy at how dang cute it looks, and although I am only doing the sample for the very first design to be unlocked (the trusty siu mai), I will be using it as a base to determine the quality of the materials used. I did give a list of things that I'd like to be improved from this first iteration but sooo happy that it turned out well so far!

And yes, that means the final product will look slightly different from the ones featured in the teaser banner. This is because those samples were from a previous failed kickstarter (my first one so I made loads of mistakes but have learnt my lesson) and so please bear that in mind. I will be updating with newer photos of the sample and hopefully I will get to physically touch it for myself and take some pictures for ya'll when it arrives (hopefully before the campaign starts or at least at the start of it)

Let's aim to get at least 100 followers by the start of the project so if you know someone who'd love some yum cha inspired merch, send them our way! There will be exclusive freebies for early bird backers so do not miss out!

I'm currently in the process of redefining and refining this campaign and those of you who have been following closely might notice there has been some changes to the type of merch I am planning to launch.

I have decided to focus on the plushie aspect of this project and elevate it by incorporating folding and reusable grocery bags into the concept and project and thus, the project has evolved!



For those unfamiliar with the concept of a plush pouch+folding grocery bag combo, it is basically a 2-in-1 merch type that on the surface looks like a regular ol' plush bag charms that hide a very useful secret in their belly. A hidden grocery bag that folds out so you'll never forget about bringing a bag for groceries ever again!

Here is a preliminary concept of what it will look like, please let me know what you think about it in the comments!
