When we want to use a licensed character or property, we pay a fee to the licensor - which can be pretty steep. And it's not just a one-time payment; we also give up a percentage of our profits, usually around 10%. On top of that, we cover all production, marketing, and shipping costs ourselves. And before we can start, we need the licensing company's approval. That means we're investing a lot of time and money into the product, with no guarantee of success. Every step of the process and every portion of information we put out requires a separate approval. This is why it takes time to update product images and swatches, make announcements etc. This is all worth it because we get to create unique products made by and for the fandoms we love!
We're not just passionate about what we do - we're also bringing unique products to the table that you won't find anywhere else. By supporting us, you're supporting creativity and innovation. Next time you see a licensed product, remember that we're taking a big risk to bring it to you. Let's support small businesses and keep the creativity flowing!
