Hi Mochifam,

Happy end-of-April! 

It's already nearly a third of the way into 2025, and we're here with our 16th Pre-Order Newsletters, which contains updates on all current pre-order and pre-sample pre-order products in our catalog. 

We always aim to have a solid rotation of products going out to customers, versus products going up for pre-order, and recognize that certain pieces have seen considerably longer delays than others. If your order is among those facing those delays of 6-12 months, we greatly appreciate your patience in waiting for these long-standing pre-order pieces. 

As a reminder to the lovely folks who still have pending pre-orders, please know that your peace of mind and comfort are our priority, and we're doing all we can to ensure that we're minimizing these delays as much as possible.

If at any point you do tire of the waiting, we're happy to offer some potential solutions such as a switch to an available product or a quick order adjustment or appropriate refund.

Regarding US Pause of Service

Our Pause of Service to the USA will end on May 2nd-- however, as we'll be catching up on order backlogs once we return, these higher-than-usual order volumes may result in delays of up to an additional 72 hours. 

As such, you can think of May 5th as our official resume-of-service, and we'll aim to get all backlogged orders caught up as quickly as possible once we're able to ship the USA once again.

Thanks so much once again for your patience-- and as always, here is our latest round of updates!

Pre-Orders

The Starry Night Dress restock is on-track to ship out by mid-May, and is just finishing production now.

As for the Stardust Strapped Dresses, they have finished production and should have all shipped out as of April 21st. 

Some orders including the Stardust Strapped Dress are waiting on other items, and we should have contacted all customers whose Stardust Strapped Dresses have yet to ship for any reason.

If you had a Stardust Strapped Dress in your order and it has yet to ship, but you've also not heard from us for any reason, shoot us a quick email at support@mochipan.com and we'd be happy to assist you further!

Note: Restocks will be occurring for the Starry NIght Collection in mid-Summer, estimated for July-August, 2025.

The Woodland Shorts' latest sample is undergoing the following revisions:

• Fit: The overall fit of the shorts was slightly off, in the legs and inseam, as well as the way it would sit on the hips. Minor changes will be made to improve overall wearability, and the shorts have been made shorter to achieve the desired look.
  
• Fabric: The fabric will be a denim that includes spandex, again to enhance comfort and wearability without deviating too much from the original design and feel of the outdoorsy, woodsy shorts.
• Pockets: The final positioning of the pockets will need to be addressed, and will be adjusted to better represent the original concept art. 

The newest version of the sample is on its way to us, but has yet to be received. Once we know the look and feel of the new sample, we'll be able to determine if there will be any further delays on this product's timeline.

Thank you to all for your continued patience and support on this long-awaited project.

The Shark Bite Jacket & Tech Pants are FINally making headway! 

The first prototype has come in, and it's looking like it'll need some work. We'll be showing these samples on social media, so stay tuned. 

Given the status of the first sample being a touch further behind our expectations, fhe estimated shipping date will be moved up to early summer for now to temper expectations. 

Thank you to everyone for your continued patience and support!

The Cropped Moth Jackets samples have not been sent to us quite yet by our manufacturer. While we're applying as much pressure as we can to ensure that these samples are completed and in showing condition as soon as possible, the obstacles for this design remain numerous.

Given the current status, we'll need to push the Shipping Date to outright late-June, 2025.

We appreciate your patience and encourage you to reach out if you'd like to make any changes or adjustments to your order. Thank you to everyone for your understanding and support.

The Glorp Cat Cropped Jacket and Skirt has done astronomically in early sales! Thanks so much for everyone who's bought in early for the love and support. 

As per the product listing, this is an extremely early-phase product. It's going to be challenging and time-consuming throughout the sampling and production process and will take minimum six months to finish production.

As the product listing says: Please only purchase this one if you're willing to wait a long time; We are in the business of breaking molds-- not breaking hearts! 

Please note that we expect this product to be ready-to-ship for November-December, but cannot make guarantees at this stage! 

Timeline:

• Estimated Shipping Date: Winter 2025-2026
