Our first official release! Today’s post is all the information for the tee and a little bonus!

WAVY ROSE TEE

THE LINK

On August 14, we released the official Wavy Rose tee. If you haven’t purchased one yet here’s the link to the form you must fill out:  https://goo.gl/forms/IaAVtEIIwiRA6Lvm1

INFORMATION

The Wavy Rose tee will not be restocked, which means there’s only a limited amount of shirts that we will be doing. Fill out the form in the link (here) to request for a shirt. You will know within 24 hours if you had a chance to grab one, but we will be doing this process by a first come, first served basis. You will either get an e-mail for an order confirmation or we will let you know if the shirt is out of stock.

The tee is in adult sizes, which run slightly a size larger than youth or for teens. Some feedback was that you should buy a size up, but don’t expect it to fit very large, but it will fit a little slim. It does expand in the wash, which should be washed in a cold water setting. (Tip: wash the shirt inside out).

THE PROCESS

Since this is our first official release, this is the process of how you order your shirt, or any other product in the future.

1. You obviously have to request for the shirt. This is where you give all the shirt information, as well as your details, such as your phone number and e-mail.

2. We accept your request. After we have received your request, we send you an e-mail to go over the details with you and give you a link to confirm that it’s all accurate.

3. I will contact you directly to organize a meet for your payment. For this specific release, it is only a pre-order process, which means you must pay before we can send out the order. If you’re unsure about paying first, we have release a sample order last month and I’ll create a review page after this post so people are able to share their experience with us. (review page link)

4. After the payment process is done, your shirt will be ordered.

5. Again, I will contact you for an estimate of when your shirt will be received and when we will meet to pick-up your shirt in person.

6. You pick-up your shirt.

UPCOMING

We have 2 products that are currently on the way. Keep posted for more details. One of the orders will be done through pre-order (like the Wavy Rose tee), and the other will be an up-front same day sale, but you will still have to go through the request process for obvious reasons. 

THE NEW GUYS

I’d like to make a little shout out to two new members of the team who joined this August! So far we’ve made a lot of process to start on two other products as stated above.

THANKS

I feel like I’ve said this many times but again, thank you to everybody who has cooperated with Connect. From simply liking the posts to filling out some surveys to actually buying a shirt, it all goes a long way. We’re all here to work together and without you guys there wouldn’t be any of this. I’m glad that our supporters give their honest opinions and insights because it makes the products better which just comes back to you in form of a shirt or whatever the product may be. I’m glad that we were able to do this official release because in the past, hopes have gotten up for a first release with many hiccups, but now things are moving steady and focused. I hope everyone who has received or ordered a shirt will enjoy them, and our next release, I feel, will be an amazing one, and I’m telling you to keep an eye out for that!

Thank you for reading,

Sample came in!

The Wavy Rose sample came in the mail on the 19th! I was super excited because originally it was suppose to come in between the 20th-27th and I forgot that it was coming in because it was early! It looks great, I have some touching up to do, but a lot of people loved it when I posted some previews. 

Right now I’m in the process of actually testing it out and changing manufactures since the one I’m with right now is based in the US, which means it’s more expensive when converting back into the Canadian dollar.

Anyways, because of all the positive feedback and people telling me they really want one right now, I’ll sell a limited amount of 3 samples. I’m going to do a raffle on Instagram, which you can click onto right here!

Anyways...

A lot of things are coming into place, I’m working on processing other designs, making new designs, and right now just in the process of confirming with the new manufacturer!

Big things are on the way, thanks for reading!

Wavy Rose Tee Update

The new Wavy Rose Tee has is getting closer to the release date for purchase. Right now the sample is in process and right when it is recieved and analyzed, I will quickly put out another post on how to order it. Currently, I only plan to do local meet ups or possibly drop offs, in which the drop offs may cost extra. Besides that, the system to order has been tested, so right when the sample is in and good to go, then I will most likely be able to do collect orders the same day.

In other news...

I will be making a page dedicated to short- and long-term goals. For instance, I plan to have a magazine under Connect’s name which is related to my interests, as well as what I would like to show-case in my perspective of Toronto. I don’t plan to make it so personal, but, I believe that I have many many many interests, so that is one of the reasons why I can connect to other people. I have a feeling that it will include things about sports, music (and artists I find/think others should listen to), photography, fashion (obviously), design, places to go and stuff to do in Toronto, health tips, and much much much more.

Also, other designs are in the process right now, so be sure to turn on post notifications on this Tumblr account, as well as @connectoronto on IG and Twitter! A huge thank you to everybody who has participated in the most recent survey, those who have tested the ordering system and a shout out to E. None of this would be possible without you guys. I appreciate all the support even if it’s something so small as a 3 question survey, it goes a long way for me to get feedback and just know that it all goes back to you guys!!

Wavy Rose is really on the way & thanks for reading!

VI-XXIX-MMXVII

Created a survey in order to give what you guys want! Thank you for all your support and cooperation for this product, as well as the dry but driven amount of work. Would like to let you guys know that there are a lot of designs in store, but releasing at a moderate amount would be best.

There have been a lot of ups and downs in just launching one shirt, but it’s better to take time and research before suddenly releasing any products. Thank you to all those who have given advice, input and support through messages, buying cookies, and/or just following along our other social medias.

I hope that CONNECT’s movement, purpose and goals go far and wide. Nothing has been released yet, but keep in mind, there’s lots to come. There’s a lot of things not out yet, such as the entire about page, and the movement, and the purpose, but it’ll be on the blog before any releases. Thank you for everything,
