The Fall 2024 Cottage Bodycon Releases (Mustard, Wine, Navy), is in a bit of a confusing state due to unmet production estimates from our manufacturers! If you ordered just the dresses without any of the Fall 2024 Shrugs (Navy, Mustard), your order has already shipped out and should be with you very soon!

If you've ordered the Navy or Mustard shrugs from this collection, that will be a different story. While the Navy Shrugs and any orders containing them will ship out within approximately one week, the Mustard shrug has been delayed and won't be ready to ship for approximately three weeks.

For a small handful of customers this will affect, we apologize for the added delay and are working to get the Mustard shrugs finished and sent out as soon as possible. Thanks so much for your understanding. 

Timeline: 

Dresses Shipping: Complete, unless waiting on shrugs for final shipment.

Navy Shrugs Estimated Shipping Date: November 30th, 2024

For those out of the loop, the Fall 2024 Mushroom Releases faced some heavy delays in our last update two weeks ago due to a recent factory fire that unfortunately slowed down production. Luckily no one was hurt, and the only consequence was delayed timelines! 

With that said, the new timelines are looking solid and the Fall 2024 Mushroom Releases (that's the Coat, Bag, Picnic Dress, Long Dress Romper, and Mushroom Sleeves,) are still estimated to ship between the end of December to mid-January.

Thanks so much for your patience!

Bee Swimsuit

Critical Bee Product Update

As per the last update sent out titled "🔔 MochiPing! 🔔 | Important Updates", all Bee-Themed products have seen critical changes to the official timeline. In order to prevent any further moving timelines for this highly anticipated collection, we have definitively moved the official shipping date to April 5th, 2025. 

After a over a dozen revisions and samples throughout the Bee collection, we've noticed an increasing disappointment with each update-- but at the same time, we've run into issue after issue. While we could expedite the production process, it does not align with our goals to send out a lower-quality product in order to meet timelines.

While our unofficial expectation is for the Bee Collection products to ship out well before April 5th, 2025, we have definitively marked it as our shipping date to prevent any further disappointment and let-downs. We sincerely appreciate your patience, and encourage you to reach out for a cancellation via our support email if this timeline is too long. Thank you so much for your patience thus far! 

With the above notice in mind, the body of the Bee Swimsuit itself as well as the cover up are currently under production. We are still ironing out the bow and cuffs for this piece, which are still in the sampling phase. With that said, sizing is now available at the product listing for your review.

Additionally, we'd like to remind you that all PSPOs for the Bee Collection will include exlusive promotional gifts-- a Limited-Edition Bumble Bee Enamel Pin & Limited Edition Honey Cake Enamel Pin.

Thanks so much for everyone's who's waited thus far! We appreciate your patience and continued support.

Estimated Shipping Date: April 5th, 2025

  

The Shark Bite Jacket & Tech Pants are still a ways away! Since the PSPO release, this set's Estimated Shipping Date has been set for Spring 2025 due to its complex design. While you'll still be waiting at least four-five months, you can rest assured that you'll be informed of each step until it's finally FINished. 

...We'll let ourselves out. 

Estimated Shipping Date: Spring 2025
