Sorry it's taken this long for an update but hi hello!
It's been incredible to get back on the account and see how many messages of support & questions about the merch range there were. Sincere apologies for not getting back to you, I accidentally locked myself out of here for 8 months and it was near impossible to regain access 🫠
Sad news first - there will be no merch release this year at this stage. The first rule of doing anything is to underestimate how much work (and money) it will take, and we are no exception. After production, shipping & advertising it was really hard to put out a product I was proud of at the highest quality I demanded without charging through the roof. I'm happy to have sold so many hoodies at a price that was accessible to everyone but it wasn't going to work this year with production costs rising.
Small business is very difficult, especially at the scale we are at. What makes it worthwhile though is seeing your art in the wild, seeing people proud to represent where they are from and receiving so many positive messages from all of you. Couldn't appreciate you more.
Onto more positive news! We are going to change direction slightly to get back to the original premise of what we wanted to achieve with this project, showing people the best of Footscray & the Western suburbs and encouraging people to explore what is available to them! More details to come but you'll start seeing more regular content soon 😊
Thanks for all your support to date! Here's to the next step!
