UK goatskin tannery raises nearly £30,000 in funding
23/06/2017
A total of 117 backers donated to the project via online platform Kickstarter. This helped the company secure funding of £29,112, well above its initial target of £12,000.
Billy Tannery offered first editions of its products as incentives to backers pledging more than £55. They were discounted to varying levels compared to the expected retail price, depending on how much an individual donates. The lowest incentive level was £55, which secured the backer a goatskin cardholder in a colour of their choice. The largest incentive offered was for someone who pledged £1,235 or more. This got them the full set of Billy Tannery products, including a briefcase and backpack.
The campaign ended on June 22. The tannery hopes to begin manufacturing in August, with its first products to be shipped to backers in October.
