Remember, you DO NOT pay when you pledge! By pledging NOW you get access to discounts and freebies that you may not have access to towards the end of the campaign! By pledging when you are interested, you help us as the creators know what people want and we can decided on additional add-ons and freebies based on the amount being raised! Every pledge helps us get closer to successfully funding the campaign!
We're the Laurens, the creators behind Rawren Designs. Our journey began in 2019 with a shared passion for art, design, and the joy of creating tangible expressions of imagination. We're high school sweethearts with a profound love for each other and our five rescue cats. I'm Lauren (they/them) the non-binary artist, and Lauren (she/her) is my amazing wife and business manager.
^ That's me, the short one! As an artist, I found myself drawn to the allure of enamel pins, stickers, and a myriad of merchandise as mediums to share my artistic vision. My wife helps me create, share, and sell these pieces of art to each of you with love and care. Together we hope this campaign lets people know that they are not alone and they always have a safe space with us. As someone who struggled with their sense of self and gender identity their entire life, I know how hard it can be to feel like you have no one who understands what you are going through. I was very fortunate that I have a loving wife, family, and friends who love me no matter who I am. I want to be that safe space for those who do not have that luxury. These pins are meant to display your pride without being inherently the flag on full display. It can be taken as a pride pin, or it can be taken as just some colorful boba! I wanted there to be some anonymity for the wearers if they were in an unsafe place.
This is our 9th funding campaign, and while there may be ups and down as is with anything, we want this campaign being a smooth and successful journey for you, our backers.
This pride boba pin idea was initially created in 2021 on Kickstarter. The original campaign included 24 Pride Flag options, 4 Milk Tea Bobas, 1 Pastel, and 1 Pure Glitter Hell. I also created 8 different mini sparkle pins that were given away as freebies; those will be an option as an add-on to everyone, and FREE to returning backers!
Shipping will be calculated and collected AFTER the campaign through the Pledge Manager.
Currently Shipping to All Countries EXCEPT (list subject to change due to ever-changing shipping restrictions): Ukraine, Russia, Germany
All packages will be shipped with tracking, regardless of if they are domestic or international. This is to ensure all packages reach their destinations.
All international packages will have accurate lists and values on the packages, and will not be sent as "gifts" to try and bypass potential fees. This is considered illegal and we will only report accurate information to every country that requires a customs list.
All EU packages are subject to VAT taxes and/or additional charges to the recipient once the package arrives in your country. VAT and/or additional fees/charges are the responsibility of the recipient and not we (Rawren Designs) the seller.
If you refuse to pay said fees and/or do not pick up your package on time, there is a high chance your package will be sent back to me.
It is your responsibility to make sure that your address is correct when it comes time for last-call lock in of addresses. Please make sure that it is spelled correctly and has all the correct information.
If any packages get sent back to me for any reason, it will be on you (the backer) to provide additional funds for re-shipment.
If you do not receive your package or it is stolen, it is up to you (the backer) to reach out to the postal service and file a Missing Parcel claim. It is unfortunately not something that we (Rawren Designs) can help with.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please contact us here or via email at [email protected]
This is not our first project, nor will it be our last! This is a continuation of a successful campaign for the first wave of Visibilitea Enamel Pins that took place on Kickstarter. In total we have created, completed, and fully funded six campaigns on our own, and three as collabs. Outside of campaigns we have created numerous products that are sold in person and online. You can check out reviews for our business as a whole here.
