Hi there,
Unbelievable we are writing such an update again. This message though, should rather be considered a positive.
We made a last minute call to prioritize the sustainable quality above delivery speed.
During the production timeline, we were offered a choice to boost Bucqle’s sustainability by replacing our silicone brake pads by stainless steel ones. The brake pads are located between the front- and back housing of Bucqle, activated by the locking bar. When pressing the locking bar, the brake pads will secure the fit of your preference until you unlock your Bucqle. Silicone turned out to wear out after a while, whereas the stainless steel pads will last forever.
You might think that we should have discovered this at an earlier stage, that may be, but we were offered this chance last minute and decided to prioritize the durability of what we will deliver you.
The consequence. Our factory has been closed during February due to Chinese New Year. Working with new material apparently takes more time to test and will make it impossible to produce in February and again postpones the delivery till further notice.
Therefore, the load will be drop shipped in smaller batches so we deliver what we produce right away. Starting from the point we finish this development.
Our next update will contain more footage of the production of Bucqle.
Stay tuned!
Team Bucqle
