How does it work ?

Why do french designers join us?

Each season, 75% of the designs created by a French designer are not sold. 60% of them are even put aside or end up being thrown away*. At a time when recycling is more relevant than ever, we offer you the opportunity to give a second chance to the best unsold items of the season!

Increase their income by selling their drawings in unlimited numbers

Thanks to our non-exclusive license for the buyers, the same design can be sold to an infinite number of customers and can potentially generate significant income on its own.

Who can post Designs on French Design by Textile Addict?

At Textile Addict we have the desire to promote Made in France creation. Consequently our platform is open exclusively to professional designers registered in France.

To join our community of designers, click on “Become a designer” and provide the requested information so that we can study your profile and your style. We opt for a limited number of places so as not to overload the offer.

So that each chosen designer finds their place and can exploit their full potential, we try to put together a team with varied styles, able to respond to a wide demand and offer a panel of very rich designs, covering all the themes proposed.

Also, the quality of the patterns proposed is essential, we are therefore vigilant as to the technical know-how of the designers: all the patterns proposed with a repetition must be perfectly made, without error or repetition defect. This is an essential condition for the proper functioning of the platform.

How do french designers sell patterns on French Design by Textile Addict?

Once their profile has been approved, they can start uploading their designs.

To support designers, we provide a technical guide which contains all the information you need to meet our technical constraints and optimize the sale of your designs on the platform (format, size, rehearsals, etc.). This technical guide is available once the registration of the designer has been validated.

Each design posted may contain up to 2 files: a .ZIP containing a high definition JPEG (300dpi) and a .ZIP containing an editable .PSD or .AI/.EPS source file if applicable.

The proposed patterns may be a placement pattern or an in repeat pattern (in repeat seamless, or in repeat seamless horizontal).

Exclusive designs on French Design by Textile Addict
