How it works

Three steps, and none of them is a sales call.

  1. 01

    REGISTER

    Put an address on the list. No account, no password, no newsletter you have to escape from.

  2. 02

    SIGNAL

    Forty-eight hours before a drop the manifest goes out — units, weights, materials, price. Nothing else.

  3. 03

    CLAIM

    The window opens. When the run is gone it is gone; nothing is restocked and nothing is reprinted.

What's included

Everything below is in every tier.

  • NUMBERED_UNIT

    Every piece carries its run number stamped, not printed. 001 through 300.

  • MANIFEST_CARD

    Materials, gauge, mill and finishing house, on card stock, in the box.

  • DIGITAL_ASSET

    The drop's source files — type, plates and separations — released to holders after the window closes.

  • ARCHIVE_ACCESS

    Every past manifest stays readable. Sold-out runs keep their pages.

  • NO_RESTOCK

    A run that closes stays closed. This is a guarantee, not a scarcity tactic.

  • FLAT_FREIGHT

    One shipping rate to any of the eleven, tracked, no surprises at customs.

In their words

Three people who pay for this.

I have bought four runs. Nothing has been restocked, nothing has been discounted, and nobody has emailed me about a sale. That is unusual enough to be worth saying.
M. KowalczykHOLDER_0114
The manifest card tells you the mill. I have never had another label tell me the mill.
R. AdeyemiHOLDER_0067
The plates arriving after the window is the part I did not expect. You get to see how it was actually made.

Questions

The four we are asked most.

WHY_NO_RESTOCK

Because a run that can be reprinted is not a run, it is a product line. Three hundred units, stamped and numbered, and then the plates go to holders.

WHAT_IF_I_MISS_IT

You miss it. The archive page stays up so you can see what shipped, but nothing returns.

SIZING_AND_RETURNS

Measurements are on the manifest in centimetres, garment-flat. Fourteen days from delivery, unworn, freight covered both ways.

WHO_MAKES_THIS

Cut and sewn in Łódź, screened in Rotterdam, finished and numbered in the studio. Named on every manifest card.

empty warehouse interior

A numbered drop system for garments, print and digital assets.
