Announcement of Partner Workshop Expansion
Previously, we announced a wide call for partner workshops capable of producing our products.
We received applications from several companies, and after careful scrutiny including quality checks and manufacturing environment verification, we have secured two highly skilled domestic partner workshops that will be able to undertake additional production starting in late July. As a result, we anticipate a significant reduction in the delivery time for HITOE FOLD orders that have already been placed.
Our proactive measure of ordering a large quantity of leather in advance as a COVID-19 countermeasure also proved successful.
All pre-orders scheduled for arrival by "late September 2021" will now be significantly brought forward and are expected to arrive by October of this year. (There may be slight variations.)
Accordingly, the estimated arrival dates for new pre-orders will also be revised.
Combined, the crowdfunding campaign in February and pre-orders through our official website for HITOE FOLD have resulted in over 6,000 reservations.
We sincerely appreciate the large number of orders.
We deeply regret the long wait, but we will continue to strive to deliver as quickly as possible.
We kindly ask for your continued support.
Please note that there are no major changes to the delivery schedule for the L-zip, however, the L-zip L, which was scheduled for December arrival, is now expected in November.
