07/03/23 UPDATE: Artwork finalized and sent to manufacturer to work into proof

*Note: Colors may look different on a display screen versus real life*

07/05/23 UPDATE: After a few renditions, the proof has been finalized and approved for the color sample phase

07/22/23 UPDATE: 1st sample. Not approved due to the see-through sleeves’ color. We are going through a few other colors, but it still has not been approved. Will post the final color

08/08/23 UPDATE: The enamel colors for Sample 5 has been approved for production! You might notice that the sleeves are not a perfect match to what I originally intended, but it’s okay! I realized that the color I was hoping for isn’t translating well on enamel, so I’ve chosen a color that’s much closer to the color of the barong in general. I think the design and colors still imply that see through aspect that barongs typically have. Next sample will be the screenprint!

08/09/23 UPDATE: I requested that my manu send a photo of the two pins side by side to compare, and although it’s not a great photo, they look so great together!
