The UK lockdown restrictions have eased this month, but unfortunately many countries are still in the midst of corona chaos and a strict lockdown - including Slovakia which is where our new production partner for eco SPATS is based.
Due to a massive Covid backlog at the European factory, which has been closed to production since October, we have lost our hotly-anticipated slot for eco SPATS in May 2021 to bigger customers with, frankly, orders 20 times the size of our initial order with them and many times the clout. We're gutted ;-( Doubly so, because our lovely contact there is fighting the virus and has been off work for months...
But the picture is not all gloomy... the factory are doing their best to fit us in on a limited, "specialist line" in the autumn. We've therefore decided to delay the launch of our crowdfunding campaign until later this summer when we have a more realistic production date and price point for our customers and Earlybirds.
If you're on our Earlybird's list, your discount remains secure!
Thanks to all our loyal customers and supporters who have stuck with us - we hope you can hang on just a little bit longer for the new, improved SPATS made with only sustainably-sourced natural rubber...
