Two Years In: A Journey of Resilience and Growth at Inkbee Store
Two years ago, a simple idea was born: Inkbee Store. On October 4, 2023, just three days before the war began, we launched with a small collection of print-on-demand items—white T-shirts, coasters, mugs and 3d shaped cases for Apple AirPods.
The path ahead was anything but easy. The war in October 2023, followed by the conflict in the South and throughout Lebanon, created a difficult and uncertain business environment. We were a young startup facing an unprecedented crisis. In 2024 we had to temporarily halt operations and even relocate at some point. But with your support, we didn't just survive—we adapted, evolved, and grew stronger.
Looking back at this two-year journey, it feels like a long and hefty way, but it was also incredibly fun. This milestone is a huge moment for us, and we want to share the story of our growth with you, our amazing community.
Our Evolution: From a Single Idea to a Thriving Store
Our first big success came from our 3D Shaped AirPods cases. Seeing how much you loved them, we made a strategic decision: to re-invest every bit of profit back into our products. This focus on product expansion became our core strategy.
We saw a gap in the market and started by expanding our offerings to Samsung Galaxy Buds Cases. This was also a huge success, confirming our belief that providing solutions to customer problems was the key to our growth.
This led to our most beloved innovation in August 2024: Customizable Charm Phone Cases for iPhone and Samsung Galaxy S Series. People, especially Samsung owners who often struggle to find unique accessories, fell in love with the concept.
Here’s a quick look at how far we've come:
- From 4 to 37 Collections: We've expanded from our initial 4 collections to an incredible 37 collections across 9 unique product categories.
- A New Home Online: In June, our official website went live, giving you a seamless and dedicated shopping experience.
- The Inkbee Colony: To show our appreciation for your loyalty, we launched our new loyalty program, "Inkbee Colony," making you a part of our ever-growing family.
- A Clearer Vision: We rebranded our logo with a clean, Japanese-focused logo, a change that reflects our clearer vision for the future.
Building Partnerships and Reaching New Heights
The journey wasn't just about products; it was about building a solid foundation.
- In October 2024, we partnered with Wakilni to ensure reliable and efficient deliveries.
- In March 2025, we joined the Wakilni Marketplace, expanding our reach even further.
- And in May 2025, we partnered with Whish Pay to offer secure online payments, making shopping easier than ever.
We also had the incredible opportunity to participate in several conventions throughout 2024 and 2025, including with @Kaliko.Friends, @Lebanese.Otaku, and at College Mariste Champville. These events allowed us to meet many of you in person and connect with the community that supports us.
The Products You Love Most
You’ve shown us what you love, and we’ve listened! One of our most successful product categories, added in January 2025, has been our Mousepads. Now available in three sizes—30x25cm, 70x30cm, and 90x40cm—they have become a fan favorite.
We also had a major addition with Jagua Tattoos, also known as semi-permanent 15-day tattoos. This product line was a big hit, allowing you to try out unique designs without a long-term commitment.
Our Fashion line has also been a huge hit, with our new Anime-Inspired Mesh Shorts. We are currently working on expanding this line even more, with exciting new releases planned for December - January
What's Next for Inkbee Store?
As we look ahead, our vision is clearer than ever. We'll be focusing and expanding on what you love most. Fashion and Mousepads will hold the most weight in our future vision, and we’re dedicated to bringing you more amazing products in these categories.
It’s been an incredible two years. We've served over 1,300 clients, and maintained a 5-star Google rating. This success is not just ours—it belongs to every single one of you and we are very grateful to each and every person who supported us!
This journey of resilience and growth has prepared us for what’s next. We're proud to share that over 7,000 units have been dispatched and delivered to your doorsteps.
