Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I create a custom product for my business?

There are so many compelling reasons to offer custom products! They are a powerful way to deepen your brand identity and offer your community something truly exclusive.

Custom products elevate special events, anniversaries, yarn crawls, make-alongs, retreats, fiber shows, and collection releases. They're also fantastic for subscription boxes, club kits, or memorable souvenirs for visitors to your shop.

A custom product ensures your customers walk away with something unique to your shop that they simply can't find anywhere else!

How much does it cost? 

Stud Buttons (sets of 3 or 4) range from $22.50 – $24.00 per set. Final pricing depends on your chosen design, materials, and finish options. Based on your design concept, we generate a comprehensive custom quote covering every step of the development process.

Initial Development Fee: $500 per design for production orders under $7,000 (excluding shipping and add-on options). (For orders $7,000 and over, this fee is waived).

Payment Schedule

To keep production moving smoothly, payments are divided into three equal installments: Please note, all payments for custom projects are non-refundable even if you decide to cancel mid-project. 

• Project Start: 1/3 of the product total + $500 development fee.

• Order Approval: 1/3 of the product total, billed when the design is approved and production begins.

• Completion: Final 1/3 of the product total + actual shipping costs, billed when your order is ready to ship.

Concept Redesign Policy: If a design direction changes completely after development has started, the initial payment (1/3 product deposit + development fee) cannot be applied to the new concept. A new project quote and deposit will be required to restart development.

Note on Shipping: Shipping fees for physical samples and final production shipments are billed separately at the time of dispatch.

Is there an order minimum?

Order minimum will be 100 sets (stud buttons) or 100 pieces (shawl pins). 

What is the typical turnaround time? (from start to finish)

Our goal is to deliver your finished product as quickly as possible. Generally, custom production takes 6 to 9 months from concept to delivery. There are many key factors that can influence your timeline. 

What speeds up the process:

• Having clear design concepts and print-ready artwork/labels ready at kickoff.

• Prompt decision-making and clear approvals.

• Timely invoice payments.

What can cause delays:

• Lapses in communication or delayed approvals.

• Mid-project design changes.

• Pending payments.

Important Payment Note: Production begins only after the 2nd payment installment is received in full. Custom design payments may be made via check, wire transfer, or ACH debit.  Credit card payments for custom design development will incur a 3.5% convenience fee. Wire transfers will incur a $15 flat fee.

What if I don’t already have something in mind?

That’s totally fine - we can help you come up with an idea your customers will love! 

What if I already have artwork prepared? 

We love working with your existing designs! However, because standard artwork doesn't always translate directly into a manufactured metal piece, we will review your design to ensure it is production-ready.

If adjustments are needed, we will consult with you on the best metalworking techniques for your concept and present workable options so you can choose the final design with confidence.

 How do I know that my idea will work? 

We have worked with the same skilled artisans in this niche of production for almost 20 years and can tell you whether or not your idea will work. Drawing on our decades of product development and data, we can advise on the ideal dimensions and other features that will make your product a success.  

Do you charge a reorder fee? 

Nope! After you complete the design process and receive your first order, you can place as many reorders as you like - we’ll only charge you for the price of the products and related freight charges. 

Who owns the design rights? 

This depends on who supplies the art, but your store will retain 100% exclusivity for the production of the design.

Do you provide retail packaging and barcoding?

Yes, we provide standard retail packaging; you are responsible for adding your own custom barcoding after delivery of product. 

Artwork & Templates:

• You can supply your own packaging design using our provided templates at no extra cost (must be submitted as a print-ready PDF that fits our packaging dimensions).

• If you need graphic design assistance, we offer design services at $100 per hour using our standard templates.

Standard Packaging: Included in your project cost.

Custom/Alternative Packaging: If you prefer a style outside our standard options, we charge an $100/hour sourcing fee, and you will be responsible for purchasing the custom packaging materials directly.

Can you provide product photography or educational videos? 

Yes, we offer photography and video creation services billed at $100/hr. 

• We can provide product images on art nouveau silver platter (or simple background, i.e. lightbox).
  
  
• We can also create short, unedited video styling demonstrations featuring Laura to show how your product works in real life. You will need to supply the handmade items, and we can capture either a hands-only close-up showing how the fastener works or a full styling demonstration with Laura modeling your knitwear.
