Shop closes June 15th and a new era begins
On June 15th 2025, my shop will close to the public as I transition into a new era. An era of being a product designer rather than running a shop. What does this mean, you ask? Can you still buy my products?
In short, yes! Just not from me 🙂
Current stockists ~

Why are you closing?
I absolutely love designing products and sharing my art with you. As my shop has grown and sales have increased, I’ve had to dedicate more time to shipping and fulfillment, consequently leaving less time for developing new product.
Adding to that, international shipping is becoming increasingly difficult, with more packages going missing and various countries implementing separate, non-standardized procedures. Which at the end of the day, means less time for art and new products.
By the way, I am in no means complaining! I am truly grateful that my shop has grown to a level where one single person can’t keep it afloat single-handedly. It’s a privileged position to be in, and I’m very thankful to everyone who helped me get here.
Can’t you just hire someone?
I suppose I could. And I did consider it. But at the end of the day, I think going the wholesale route has more benefits to all of us. Such as:
If I can get stockists in multiple countries, then customers in those countries will likely see:
- Lower shipping costs
- No import fees (if shopping within your own country ofc)
- Faster deliveries
It’s much faster for me to ship one wholesale order than 20 individual orders, which means I can spend more time designing new products and sharing my process with you. Yay!
And as a bonus, I also get to help grow the small businesses I’ll be working with: my stockists!
All in all, I think this move to sell through stockists offers better benefits both for my customers and for me. I’m truly excited to embark on this new journey and I hope you enjoy it too ♡
Good news for EU/EEA customers!
Now that I’ll have more time on my hands, I can focus on making my product packaging GPSR-compliant and thereby start selling to EEA countries again. Yay!
