Partnership Programmes
Become a Partner: A Long-Term Partnership with Scheduled Capacity
For brands that want volume and production schedule locked in ahead, not simply one large order. Your annual commitment sets how much of the workshop's capacity is put aside for you.
- 3 partnership tiers
- 2,000 pcs capacity/month
- 15 years of work
A partnership, not a one-off purchase
This page is for brands planning repeat orders through the year, who want the workshop to set aside capacity and materials for them.
If what you need is a single large order with no annual commitment, that is bulk order & white label, not this page. The other routes are on the programmes page.
Tiers
Three partnership tiers
There is no minimum commitment to begin — these tiers reward purchase volume over a rolling 12 months; they are not a condition set in advance.
| What you get | Bronze | Silver | Gold |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annual commitment | $500+ | $5,000+ | $50,000+ |
| Partner discount | Standard | Greater | Highest |
| Marketing assets | Product photographs | + co-op budget | + personal strategy discussion |
| Support | Consultation & how-to | Priority | Personal |
| Territory protection | — | — | Yes |
For example: once your total purchases reach $500 within 12 months, you automatically qualify for the Bronze tier benefits — it is not something you have to apply for first.
The exchange
What is actually being exchanged
Workshop capacity is people, not machines — which is why certainty of volume is worth more here than it would be in a factory.
| The partner gives | The workshop gives |
|---|---|
| A volume forecast that can be relied on | Capacity set aside |
| An order schedule given well in advance | Materials secured before the season |
| Feedback from the end buyer | Priority in the queue |
| A commitment over time | Price that scales with volume |
The second row is the most valuable and the most often overlooked. Leather in particular colours becomes scarce as the gift season approaches; a partner who tells us their plan in August gets a colour that is no longer available in November.
How to choose
The tier that is honest about your volume
Moving up a tier is not automatically better. A volume commitment that goes unmet costs both sides: the workshop has already bought the leather, and the partner has already paid for capacity nobody used.
- Bronze — repeat orders with no strict volume commitment. Price follows the quantity in each order.
- Silver — an annual volume forecast. Materials begin to be secured in advance for the colours used repeatedly.
- Gold — a commitment to both volume and schedule. Capacity is set aside, and an urgent order can be slotted in.

Quick questions
The most frequently asked
Can a newly founded company, or an individual, apply?
Yes. We judge on volume and on how clear the plan is, not on the size of the company.
How does territory protection work for Gold partners?
We agree a geographic area or a particular market in which you become our main distributor or representative, discussed and settled individually in the partnership agreement.
First step
Tell us the annual volume you are planning
Give us the volume and the order schedule. We will suggest the tier that suits. Evidence of our work with other partners is in the case studies.
