First off, two different Pre-Orders will be closing tomorrow-- the Vintage Storybook Dress and Peacock Moth Cropped Jacket. Both will begin production soon after the pre-orders close.

Where one pre-order closes, another one opens. Fans of our Moth Cardigan series will love this; we are launching 4 new Moth Cardigan Pre-Orders tomorrow! The Black Witch Moth, Comet Moth, Ghostly Silk Moth, Swallowtail Butterfly have all been added to our Moth Cardigan Encyclopedia! Pre-Orders for these new additions will be open until June 8th at 8pm EDT.

      (Pre-Sample Pre-Order) Woodland Shorts - Mochipan

      Pertaining to the Woodland Shorts: 

      After investigating the issue with our factory, we discovered that the vast majority of both the Brown and Green variants were cut incorrectly during production, resulting in waist measurements that are larger than the measurements listed on the size chart.

      First and foremost, we sincerely apologize for the disappointment and inconvenience this has caused, especially for those of you who participated in this project as a Pre-Sample Pre-Order and have already waited a very long time to receive your items. We have already sent an email detailing options for resolution to all affected customers, but if you did not receive that email, please reach out to us at support@mochipan.com.

      The shipment of Green Shorts has already been sent back to the factory to be recut and sewn to the correct size chart specifications. As for the Brown variant, the factory will be entirely remaking the order. 

      We do not yet have an Estimated Shipping Date for the remakes, and will update the listing and include it in the next Newsletter once we do. Thank you again for your patience and understanding as we work to resolve this issue.

      • Estimated Shipping Date: To be determined (Please see above)
