Matcha Flavor Unlock!
6 months ago – Tue, Aug 26, 2025 at 08:24:33 AM

Hello snackers!

I've just returned from a mini trip and am pleased to share that matcha is now unlocked! I'm not sure how many flavors we can unlock in the final week of funding, but I want to give some more updates to add-ons.

Last week I introduced bucket hats! These are now available as an add-on only since the intent of this project is to fund a snack pouch. You can choose between 3 flavors: matcha (green), anko (red), or ube (purple)

I also forgot to make additional pouches available in the add-on section so these are up and at a discount!

And lastly, the design for the deco sheet is uploaded. It shows cutlines in red (that will not be printed on the final product)



Thank you so much for your feedback and support! I hope we can finish this project strong!

Sample Updates
6 months ago – Thu, Aug 21, 2025 at 12:03:55 PM

Hello crumb snackers!

We've lost a little steam but we're still doing great on funding! We've unlocked two flavors of both pouches and carabiners -- and we're so close to unlocking Matcha!

Here's an update on samples. First up we have the carabiner mockups. Please disregard the color choices, this is just in my manu's mockup tool. It was determined with weight in mind to go ahead and punch out all details (eyes, fin indents etc). Each carabiner will be approx 80g in weight.


And for updated bag samples! I'm doing one more iteration with some updates but so far I'm pretty happy with the increased size. I also requested a small zipper pocket (I know most of us climbers don't stick our phones in our chalk bags but I think just having a small pocket would be nice). Currently this pocket opening is too small so I'm making it larger. 


The final update was a just for fun thing -- bucket hats! Here's a scuffed draft of the taiyaki bucket hat where the underside of the rim will be a filling color. Its my first time doing a more custom bucket hat so hopefully it turns out ok haha. Once I get samples, I'll update the project to include hats. If you're interested, please let me know in the comments! I have ube and matcha pending. 


That's all for now! Hope y'all stay hungry and munch on snacks!

Crumb Catcher Funding Achieved!
7 months ago – Wed, Aug 13, 2025 at 08:38:51 AM

Wow-- thank you all so much for the overwhelming love and support for the Crumb Catcher Companion project!

I'm so grateful and amazed we reached funding for our first flavor, Anko (red bean), within 4 hours! And now, under 24 hours in, we've already unlocked Ube and Custard Carabiner goals.

I'm currently working on getting samples made for the custard carabiner, but heads up- production will take a little time (about 1-2 months_ since it's made of metal. As a reminder, you have 24 hours left to share and/or back the project to get one free carabiner with your pledge as an early bird!  

This is just the beginning, and I'd love to keep the momentum going. I've put together a quick poll so you can vote for your favorite flavor. 

I'm also sketching up ideas for more stretch goals because I truly believe in this little snacky dream ;u; Let's keep the cuteness (and snacking) going strong!
