Hi friends!
We have a lot of exciting changes coming in the next few months and I want to update you on everything I have planned.
Adventure fabric is getting an upgrade: Long story short, our long-time supplier of adventure fabric switched fabric bases to a recycled poly version back in March. Unfortunately, there was no notice of this change, so I didn't know about it until the spring and summer fabric arrived. Although the new recycled poly fabric base is still better than anything else available on the dog bandana market, I haven't been 100% satisfied with it. This change hasn't been noticed by most of you (it's not super obvious), but I can tell a difference and it's just not as amazing as the original adventure fabric. I have been looking for a replacement for a few months and I am so excited about our upgraded adventure fabric. This new version is softer, has a slight stretch, and a higher drape (more flowy) than the original adventure fabric. It is still dirt/stain resistant, lightweight, quick drying, & crease resistant, but has less of a shiny "swim"-like appearance. This fabrication has been extensively tested for several months and I am so happy with this new version; I know you will love it too! Upgraded adventure fabric will make its debut in our everyday dana drop in August.
Active knit sizing update: We have expanded our classic triangle tie-and-snap sizing to include separate sizes for M & L (previously one size M/L). Our size chart will now completely correlate for all fabrics/styles. For example, if you are a size M in adventure fabric bandanas (curved snap-on style), you will also be M in active knit bandanas (classic triangle tie & snap). Since you all love the active knit fabrication so much, it is here to stay, so I had custom templates made for this style/fabric so that all sizing will match up.
Everyday dana drop: We have a nonseasonal collection coming in August! Based on several IG story polls, over 70% of you want more everyday designs. We heard you loud and clear and are excited to show you these nonseasonal bandanas that can be worn year-round. I don't have the exact collection availability date yet as we are in the process of moving (see below), but I anticipate the collection being available at the beginning of August. Once I’m able to set the date, I will post it on Instagram.
We are moving: My little family is moving to a new house so our MMB headquarters will be getting a brand-new office! I am so excited about this and can't wait to show off the new setup.
Seasonal/Holiday Collections: As usual, we will have our seasonal and holiday collections. Our Fall fabric is already in hand and will launch near the end of August. Our Halloween collection is almost complete, and we have started working on the winter/holiday collection. All launch dates will be posted on Instagram. The holiday collections are always my favorite; I just love the festivity 😁 As requested, the collections will include active knit and adventure fabric bandanas, and I even have a few flannel bandanas planned. The holiday collection will be available a few days after Halloween to allow everyone enough time to order Christmas items. We will close early December as I am getting married in the middle of that month 🤗 Make sure you are following us on Instagram to catch all the collection previews, launch dates, and maybe even a wedding picture or two.
Thank you all so much for your support. It truly means so much to me.
