The web store for Mysterious is nearly complete. If all goes well, we hope to open the shop June, 2015. Here’s a sneak peak at the store’s front page.
Our first product will be The Vorpal Bag, of which there will be only 200 of the 1st Edition. If you miss out on the 1st Edition, fear not – for we’ll release new editions of this handmade leather bag every 3 months. Additional bags, inspired by other beloved fairy tales – Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, and Snow White, to name a few – will be made available, one new bag every couple of months.

The Vorpal Bag
“Mysterious” is a new online shop where I’ll be bringing fairy tale themes to a new domain – handmade bags. As with many of my games, each new bag will draw inspiration from a well-known fairy tale – such as Alice in Wonderland, Little Red Riding Hood, or The Wizard of Oz. Each story may inspire several distinct offerings – a “Red Bag,” “Big Teeth Bag,” and “Hunter’s Bag,” from world of Red Riding Hood, for example.
I’m starting with my favorite fairytale: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. And the first bag from this universe will be “The Vorpal Bag.” It will feature iconography, textures, and materials inspired by my twist on the Alice books. Up next will be a bag designed with Red Riding Hood in mind, “The Big Teeth Bag.”
Each bag will be offered in limited editions and for a limited period of time.
A full-blown site where you can acquire these bags will be launching soon.
If you’d like to be notified when the site is launched and new bags are made available, please provide your name and email address below. Your email address will be used ONLY for notices related to Mysterious – and you can easily opt-out at any time.
The “Alice: Otherlands” Kickstarter campaign is CLOSED.
If you are a Backer and need to change your mailing address for Backer Rewards, please do so via Backerkit.
If you were not a Backer, but are interested in the physical Backer Rewards, please read the following:
Due to legal restrictions we are NOT able to offer physical items (Backer Rewards) for sale outside of the Kickstarter campaign. That means if you missed out on the opportunity to back the campaign you cannot buy the physical backer rewards.
If the the situation with the legal restrictions changes, I will post an update via Kickstarter and here in this post.
Please note that the digital content (animations and art book) WILL BE released to the public, for free. It’s the physical items we cannot sell outside of the Kickstarter campaign.
Current estimated release date for physical items (Backer Rewards) is sometime around October 2015 (yes, we are late!). Digital assets will be released, for free, around that same time. As soon as we know how/when we’ll be releasing the digital assets, an update will be posted here, on Kickstarter, Facebook, etc. Please, do not write asking about timing for release of the digital assets. All info on this subject will be posted to the KS page.
A final note regarding physical rewards: We cannot sell them, but there are no restrictions on giving them away for free. I will try to find ways to link these items to other things you might purchase from Spicy Horse or Mysterious. Keep on eye on my Facebook, Twitter, and this blog for details on future offers.
For more info on the project and its progress, please read the campaign updates on Kickstarter.
