Items that are mass-produced, wholesale purchased, or primarily imported for resale are not permitted.
Small-batch manufacturing and working with production partners is permitted, provided the vendor is the original designer and retains creative control over the final product.
Priority is given to handmade products and small-batch, artist-led work.
Vendors must clearly describe their role in the design and production of their products within their application, including disclosure of any use of tools such as AI, software, patterns, or other design aids as part of their creative process.
