In order to make a custom request from Kittens & Kink, you have to e-mail the shop directly. Though I would have preferred a custom form attached to the site itself, this information was posted on their homepage so it was easy to find.
The shop owner, Silver Kat, was quick to respond, informative, and friendly. I reached out February 3rd with my request, and had a custom listing posted by the 5th. I appreciated that Silver Kat expressed excitement over processing my order, and provided me with pictures of fur colors for me to choose from based on my request. I got the impression that this is truly a work of passion, and not just a business exchange.
The full set cost me $71.87, not including shipping. This is a fair price for what I received.
Shipping was $9.75 from Europe to the US, which is very reasonable. I received a notification February 28th that my order had shipped, which was within the four week processing time frame mentioned in the FAQ. On March 4th, I received a shipping update that included a tracking number for my package. I received the package March 12, which was within the two week shipping estimation.
I received my package in a discreet plastic shipping bag. Inside, the tail was nicely folded in a sheer pink drawstring bag while the ears were wrapped separately.
Oh my gosh you guys, this set is so hecking cute - I have a new favorite!
The ears are smaller than I was expecting, but have a nice, even 3D shape to them. They are not wired, so they can’t be posed, but I actually view that as a positive with these ears. They have such a great natural shape, and it was nice receiving ears that didn’t get messed up during the shipping process. You can fold them and smush them and they just spring back. They are firmly attached to the headband, but can be moved up and down its length for perfect positioning on different head shapes. The headband itself is wrapped in black satin and SO comfortable to wear that I actually forgot I was wearing them. The fluff tufts aren’t entirely symmetrical, but it’s not noticeable when you’re wearing them.
The tail. THE TAIL. It’s made with the luxury fur that I love so much, so it’s thick and soft and doesn’t shed easily. It’s got a good medium stuff and thickness, and it’s LONG. My other tails all measure 20 to 22 inches, but this tail is 28 inches long. It features a sturdy nylon loop and comes with a safety pin. I personally prefer elastic loops as they are more versatile with attachments, but it’s a very small complaint.
Honestly, there is something really charming about the small ears and huge tail combo. I love this set. It has the right amount of fluff, it’s so soft and well made and comfortable. Definitely great bang for your buck!
