Princess Tapi 's Production Blog on "works in progress", upcoming products, photos, and news http://blog.princesstapi.com Wed, 16 Dec 2009 22:49:07 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1-sem-pro en © admin admin No No Pullips, Taeyangs, Dals and Byul… http://blog.princesstapi.com/?p=434 http://blog.princesstapi.com/?p=434#comments Wed, 16 Dec 2009 22:49:07 +0000 mEda http://blog.princesstapi.com/?p=434 I am seriously considering starting to carry Pullip/Taeyang/Dal/Byul in the shop starting next year.  There are a lot of retailers out there that carry stock of these dolls at their shop.  If you are familiar with the Princess Tapi shop, I started out creating handmade clothing for Pullip & Taeyang.  This eventually grew into Custom Commissions for clothing as well as Custom Dolls.  I decided to bring in Obitsu as one of the many products that we carry and thanks to everyone’s support, has done quite well.

I want to start offering Pullip/Taeyang/Dal/Byul so that will help me maintain the services that I currently offer as well as make it much easier for customers that are interested in commissioning custom Dolls (but don’t have a blank head to send to me).  Since I am just starting out it is impossible for me to stock all the dolls that have been released.  Will you, as a customer, be interested in pre-ordering dolls (even the older ones) if given a bonus (either by points collection that can be redeemed at the shop or a pre-order discount)?

This isn’t set in stone yet but I would like to find out how collectors feel about this.  Please feel free to drop me a line or leave a comment to let me know what you think!

Thanks for reading and I look forward to all your responses!

]]> http://blog.princesstapi.com/?feed=rss2&p=419 New & Improved Custom Clothing Commissions http://blog.princesstapi.com/?p=418 http://blog.princesstapi.com/?p=418#comments Wed, 05 Aug 2009 19:19:56 +0000 mEda http://blog.princesstapi.com/?p=418 I’ve wanted to re-structure the Custom Clothing Orders structure for quite some time.  During the past 2 years I’ve managed to tweak the store to make this process easier for the customer and more “self-serve”.  I have re-organized everything in the “Clothing Company” section into Brands -> In-stock | Pre-order items.  This will make it easier for the customer to look at all the items that are available without having to switch to too many categories.  There are also a lot of customizing options available to the customer in the pre-order section.  For example, you can start with a pair of jeans and choose the colour of the thread, fabric, whether to add chains, pockets, buttons, etc right at the product page.  I have also added a fabric/hardware guide of the colours and patterns that are available.  Not all materials are suitable for all designs so only the ones that are suitable will be available as options in the product page.  You can then add that to your cart, Regular Airmail shipping will be calculated automatically by the store, and pay for the custom order right away.  Depending on my schedule, most items will be ready within a week after placing the order.  But just to be safe, I’m estimating that it will take 1-2 weeks after payment clears.

I will contact the customer right after the order is placed to confirm all the details before constructing the item.  The customer will receive e-mail notifications on the production process as well as when it’s ready to ship.

I hope this new structure will help customers that are interested in ordering Pre-order items to customize their purchases and make their item more unique and personalized. Due to this new structure, Custom Clothing Commissions (ones that I have to design and create patterns from scratch) will be limited to 2-6/month. For availability and schedules, please visit the Custom Commission page at www.princesstapi.com.

Here is the current list of available fabric/materials for Custom Orders:

Custom Clothing Commissions are open again!  Please use the contact form at www.Princesstapi.com to reserve a spot/inquire about them!

I’ve also made some major changes to www.Princesstapi.com in the last couple of days.  Items have been re-organized into different sections and it should make it much easier to navigate.  Basically all items for a specific type/size doll will be in 2 different categories: In Stock & Pre-order.  Pre-order items will take 1-2 weeks production time.  You can also select from a range of fabrics/colour, and other details right at the product page!!!  This should help make this pre-order process easier and smoother for everyone!

I hope you like the Luxour Academy items as well as the new changes to www.Princesstapi.com! 

XOXO,
