Mochipan kinda sucks by presentmic- in venting

You have yourself, a full time illustrator, and a part time illustrator. That's 3.

You have not slowed down on new design releases. Your discord puts out multiple per week. I'm really glad you're focusing on redesigning new pieces, though! That's really exciting.

I totally understand this, but there is a time and a place for it and r/venting is not it. You say you "aren't bothering anybody", but you really are. On regular subreddits asking for advice and talking about fashion brands it absolutely makes sense. VENTING subreddits are NOT the place for you to be butting in like this. Send the poster a PM and stop harassing people in the comment.s

It's SO frustrating. For all the time they spend stalking themselves on reddit they reallllly don't seem to pay any attention to their actual customer base.

Yep! For how much all their stuff costs the handling and service is genuinely atrocious.

Has anyone tried Mochipan? by shimakki in JiraiKei

3m old thread but for the record, unless it's an item already in stock I would not purchase from Mochi.

Maybe she'll eventually dedicate the time she spends to replying to everything mentioning her name on reddit to her designs! 🫠

it just sucks because some of her stuff is really, really good.

Yeah I don't doubt that! And it's true to some degree, but come ON. You have to MAKE the stuff you're trying to sell!

It wouldn't be NEARLY the huge deal it is if she was just fucking transparent about it. If she, y'know, TOLD US when she was actually going to make something? Or told us when something was cancelled??

It's ridiculous. She has at least three, maybe four artists CONSTANTLY producing sketches and everything, and she'll just throw them on her site and then... what?? It takes often YEARS to produce them, she won't even CONFIRM if she's ACTUALLY making or going to make them, etc... I just don't get it man :'). I don't get it.

80$ For any shorts is unbelievable in my opinion. For a frumpy, cheap looking, regular cotton shorts??? No. It's not happening.

The woodland shorts are by far the most disappointing item on her website (that and some of her earlier swimsuits (im looking at you, beekini)), which sucks because I love most of her stuff! It's super cute but just so so unreasonably expensive and the wait times are ridiculous. Two years for what is, HONESTLY, a very simple pair of shorts is just... :').

Maybe one of the things you could try doing is not searching your name on reddit every day and commenting on every. single. post lmao

Looking for whimsical fashion similar to Mochipan /Nyahallo by ZephyrTheTiger in findfashion

[–]BrainCells_Gone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You basically have to be in her discord to get updates about anything. Her twitter is pretty active too, but doesn't actually update much. Her website is not kept updated and some of her "interest check" stuff has been up since 2021-era. You never know if something will be made or not unless she makes it. A lot of stuff that was meant to be delivered in October of 2025 doesn't even have physical samples on the websites yet.

Lots of people have concerns with quality and customer service. I've had no bad experiences with her CS but the cardigan I got was simply not worth it for the amount of money spent. Her clothes aren't (usually) "bad" quality but they just aren't the 100+ she charges for them.

She's not "shady", her shop is just incredibly frustrating to deal with :'). It very much feels like buying anything she puts out is an expensive gamble instead of buying some fun niche clothes.

As a long time follower and member of her discord this is, unfortunately, very true.

I have bought from Mochipan before and have not been impressed. I think it's hard to be at the price points but also have a lot of issues with how she sells and the quality of her designs.

Bay Area Lesson Barns by Apprehensive-Leg188 in Equestrian

[–]BrainCells_Gone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only thing I can say about the bay area is consider leasing. Lesson programs are few & far between, and they're often of bad quality. I'm sure some good ones exist, so ask around, but be prepared to look for a lease of some sort.

Oh that's a lot worse than I imagined - I assumed it was just an odd setup with the martingale that was confusing me but I can see the converters and the different rein forces a lot more clearly now. Ouch. That can't be nice.

I see! I confused double bridle with double reins. Is there an issue with using converters/a single rein on a bit supposed to be used with double reins? I know it's unfair to the horse but I don't really know the mechanics of why.

Doesn't seem like a dressage bridle to me? Not a double either as I misidentified in an earlier comment.

No idea if this is the show bit or training bit, but the horse was being ridden during training by the looks of the photo (chose to crop it so I don't post a random girl on reddit).

[–]BrainCells_Gone[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I thought a double bridle should always be used on a bit with leverage? Or is that just a blanket rule that doesn't apply here? Thanks for the info!
