details:
After a bit of a hiatus, we are so excited to bring back the Hylian collection - with some new additions as well! In the new release you will find:
- Three new glasses
- Three new sweatshirts
- Three new shirts
- Two new bottoms
Wow, that's actually a lot haha. Use this post as a resource to help with color matching, sizing options, and more!
glassware
There are three new glasses coming to the collection, let's take a look!
The stables glass has references to the various side quests associated with the stables in tears of the kingdom. We have a blue horse, Epona and the horse god Malanya. And what is a stable without cooking?? There are ingredients for 3 specific dishes that correspond to horse stat upgrades.
The other side quest here is of course the lucky clover gazette! With that, we have newspapers, Penn’s flight goggles, and some little birds that are seen tweeting the latest gossip to Penn ☺
I love the addition of caves and explorable wells in totk, especially because they gave blupees a new purpose AND we got a new evolution of the blupee in the bubbulfrog.
As some of you may know, I definitely struggled a bit with the bubbulfrog, because it is objectively horrifying. It's head is made of 4 blupee heads, hard to make it even a little cute haha.
That said, I'm really happy with how this glass turned out! We've got one big ol' bubbulfrog, lots of cute new blupees, as well as creatures and items commonly found in caves.
When coming up with a companion glass for the stables theme, there were a couple ideas but the one that won was the sand seals!
You'll find a few different sand seals, including Patricia. And of course we had to include some cute sand seal plushies!
Then we've got some references to side quests with the noble pursuit drink, melting ice, and watermelon rinds. I also includied some glasses that our favorite gerudo sand seal racers wear :)
This is the last glass I still have to take good pictures of, so I'm using this one of it fresh out of the box haha. More to come!
apparel
New designs, updated garments, and more. We're going to take this section theme by theme
First up, Koroks! Coming back we have:
- The original korok sweatshirt
- The backpack korok sweatshirt
- The campfire korok sweatpants
- Korok cap
The new additions include sweatshorts with a cheeky little campfire korok and the original korok design on a new tee style.
We felt that the old tee was too lightweight and was a bit too slim fitting. The new tee is a bit heavier weight and boxier fit. We also moved the embroidery from the bottom hem to the left sleeve - that way you can safely crop it without losing some of the design!
Old tee colors (when they're gone, they're gone): oat milk, pink, sage
New tee colors (will be available for preorder): clover, blossom, pumpkin
We have a color guide here so you can see how you might mix and match items from this collection.
Next up - bluppees!
Similar to the koroks, the blupee tees are also changing to a new style. Any remaining atlantic, pacific, or orchid tees will be available until they're gone. The new colors, aquamarine and arctic will be available for preorder.
The other new addition is a blupee bottom! This one features a jumping blupee on the front left hip, with a little collection of gems on the back. They are available in a new color arctic.
The original blupee sweatshirt will be available in this new color, as well as atlantic and pacific
Next up - horse apparel!
These tops are based on the stables glass, here is the full list of everything that will be available:
- Epona tee in ivory and peach
- Epona Sweatshirt in ivory and peach
- Malanya tee in wildberry and espresso
- Malanya sweatshirt in maroon and tan
The Epona designs all have our favorite royal horse embroidered on the left chest and carrots on the sleeve. The Malanya designs all feature the horse god on the left chest with glow in the dark thread detail in the eyes, as well as their phrase "bring me the food I crave" on the sleeve.
Last but not least, the sand seal apparel! You can get these cute little plushies embroidered on your choice of a butter yellow tee or sweatshirt. There is also a little detail of "nice to seal ya" on the sleeve
PLEASE NOTE: the sweatshirt used for this design is a different brand than alll the other sweatshirts we use. We wanted to give this one a shot because we didn't have a cute yellow option available in our other sweatshirts. It is a classic crewneck fit, 100% cotton, and goes up to 3XL.
what's a preorder?
A preorder is when you purchase your items before they are manufactured. When we have big releases, this helps in a lot of ways:
- Everyone get's what they want! There are no limits to the amount available in various sizes and colors - you can get everything you want stress free :)
- We don't have to invest a lot into initial inventory and risk over or under ordering. With the preorder window, everything is just right!
- We are better prepared - we know exactly how many orders we need to prepare and pack. That means we can hire extra hands, or rent extra space if needed.
are there going to be more preorders?
I cannot guarantee that there will be more preorders, or that all the same items will be part of another preorder. If there is something you want, always shop the drop!
Big launches take a ton of time to plan, organize, execute and fulfill. When we do Hylian launches over and over, we can't work on other cool projects! It's all about balance :)
After these preorders are done, we will have a shop update with limited quantities of the hylian collection! This will be a mix of overstock from previous rounds, as well as restocks. This will be early in 2025.
other preorder questions:
If your order contains a mix of in stock items and items for preorder, the whole order will ship when the preordered item is available. If you'd like them shipped separately, contact our customer service at hello@shopcheerware.co and they can help you purchase extra shipping.
We are usually slammed with a lot of emails when we launch preorders, so give us a day or two to get a response back - and remember we don't work on weekends usually!
Once preorders are shipped, we usually have a couple weeks period before an overstock release. This gives us time to work though any exchanges/returns etc.
size inclusivity
If you've been following for a while, you know that I have had serious problems finding blank sweatshirts and bottoms that have the color, style and size range that I want. It's actually been one of the reasons I haven't re-released apparel this year.
Unfortunately, after a long time spent searching and working with folks in the garment decorating industry, there really... isn't a solid option. Other indie brands either stick to t-shirts or sweatshirts in basic colors like black and white. Bigger indie brands outsource their apparel overseas to get the size range they want, which is the direction my work will be heading in.
All that said, for now most sweatshirts will run S-2X and tees S-4X. I have a couple options for 3X and 4X sweatshirts that I have as part of this update. Just know that I'm aware of the issue and actively working to have better options 💕
