Introducing the Junior Eco Crafters kit, our first children's kit! We're taking our purse chain kit and making a kid-friendly version for our Athen's markets! Here at Z As In, we believe that everyone should get a chance to be creative in a sustainable way!
Even though it is noted that the scrunchi kit is at least a little child-coded, it's more of a nostalgia product that lots of kids buy than a kit for children. This kit will allow kids to learn about sustainable and eco friendly crafting in an interactive way!
We believe that this was a logical next step for the brand, because even though we are not a childrens brand, nor do we want to pivot to that, we want an experience for everyone to enjoy. In our time with our market booths, we have discovered that kids where naturally drawn to our charms and were pretty disappointed to hear that we couldn't sell them individual charms. That really bummed us out! We wanted them to be able to learn about crafting with exisiting materials. So many children's craft kits these days are made with cheap, mass produced pieces. We are happy to bring something new to the market!
Why not just sell the charms individually, you may ask? Well, first, we fear that would interefere with our branding as a clothing and craft kit company, not a charm trader. Second, not all of our charms where created in house; some where bought from artesans, some where thrifted. And third, we wouldn't want to sell out of our charms by selling them individually and ruin the experience of the full kit for those who want it. We think that this was the best and most fair solution.
Because of the interactive nature of these kits, and because our other purse kits are adult only on zoom, the Junior Eco Crafters Kits will be available exclusivly in-person at the markets that Z As In attends.
