Since all Soulbound jewelry is made-to-order and requires 4-6 weeks to create, the last day to place regular orders in 2021 is Friday, September 17th.
Soulbound is a one-woman company, so it will be on hiatus during my maternity leave from November 2021 to February 2022.
All orders placed after September 17th will not go into production until I return on February 1st, 2022.
Soulbound's annual sample sale usually starts in November, but since I'll be on maternity leave from November to February, the sample sale is coming early this year!
The sample sale includes test samples, old samples of styles that are now discontinued, and samples from retail stores that have been handled by customers.
Everything is sold at a heavy discount because there is either a defect in the piece, or it shows signs of wear and tear.
Every sample sale piece is in-stock and ready to ship, so they're great holiday gift options if you miss the September 17th deadline to purchase a made-to-order style.
The sample sale will end on October 29th, my last day of work before maternity leave.
Once the sale is over, all of the discounted styles will be removed from the website and any remaining pieces that did not sell out will not be available to purchase until the next year's sample sale, which will likely begin in November 2022.
Since my due date is the first week of November, I'll be starting my maternity leave on November 1st. If I go into labor early and need to start my maternity leave sooner, I'll be sure to let everyone know!
Once I officially start maternity leave, I'm going to keep the website up so you can still browse and place orders while I'm away.
However, I will not answer emails or Instagram DMs, process new orders or begin creating any jewelry until I return on February 1st, 2022.
By February I'll have gotten the hang of being a new mom and caring for my little girl and I can come back to running Soulbound full-time and creating beautiful geeky jewelry for you all again!
