How designers can earn

Clothsample supports multiple collaboration models because design work is not one-size-fits-all. A project may use platform commission, a one-time buyout, a design license, or an inquiry-based agreement between the buyer and designer.

  • Commission for marketplace sales or approved design usage.
  • Buyout for buyers who want exclusive ownership or broader rights.
  • Licensing for controlled use by product, territory, time period, or quantity.
  • Inquiry-based collaboration for custom projects and brand requests.

What to prepare

Strong listings make it easier for buyers to understand your concept and move into a sample order. Provide clear mockups, garment references, artwork details, intended print areas, style notes, and any rights or usage limits.

  • Original artwork or design concepts only.
  • Front and back views when possible.
  • Suggested fabric, fit, color, and decoration method.
  • Short story or market positioning for the design.
