(MADE x SHADES) Apparel

How it Works: 

We start with your design, cause, logo, company name, sketch, or digital design. Don’t have a design? No problem! Our team of talented (and good looking) designers make a design that’ll knock your socks off.

Next, we work with you to select which product works best, like a shirt, sweatshirt, or something else.

We have dozens of products in stock that can be printed or embroidered, or we can source from a catalog of thousands of products - everything from basic tee shirts, to street wear, tank tops, leggings, accessories, and more. We can also source from iconic brands like SportTech, American Apparel, or Bella and Canvas. Next, we work together to figure out which production method would work best, weather it is embroidery, DTG printing, or something else.

From there, we finalize the design, discuss pricing, then list it on the Shades Ferry website in the (MADE x SHADES) collection. 

For every sale, you or your cause will receive a portion of the profits (typically 30-70 percent of total profits, depending on the item, cause, and design). We handle orders, payment, inventory, returns, shipping, and everything else. We can also help with marketing and advertising your design.

That's it! You will receive payments and sales numbers monthly. 

This sort of service can also be used for the below functions, so long as designs are within brand standards: 

• Memorial t-shirts
• Fundraising / charity 
• Concert / event apparel 
• Band / group merch 
• Company merch

What Designs are Accepted? 

Not all artist-collaborated designs submitted to (MADE x SHADES) are accepted.

We select designs that fit within our brand standards. If you are considering submitting a design, we encourage you to express yourself in a way that is meaningful and original. We do not accept designs that are overly inappropriate, contain un-original content, hate speech, stereotypes, or are overly offensive. 

Note that there is an application fee per submission that will be paid when you submit your final design for review, once you have read and agree to our submission form. There could also be setup fees required before we can begin manufacturing your design. Don’t worry - all fees will be spelled out before you decide to move forward
