Why FASTION

Built by the culture,
for the culture.

We're not building another Shein. We're building the marketplace your customers wish existed: curated, underground, festival-first.

Reach the culture
Your customers are already here — festival-goers actively looking for something different. No pay-to-play placements. The right eyeballs, because of what you make.
Keep your brand
No white-label. No anonymous SKUs. Every product carries your name, your story, your IG. We send shoppers to your brand, not ours.
Marketing built-in
Instagram and TikTok content, vendor spotlights, festival activations. Founding vendors get first call on all of it, at no extra cost — you make the product, we bring the audience.
How it works

Four steps to launch.

We don't rush this. Every founding vendor is onboarded personally. You'll be on a call with us, not lost in a portal.

Transparent terms

The deal,
up front.

Here's the shape of it. Your full terms and rate come in writing with your invite, before you sign anything.

Commission only. No monthly fees. No listing fees. No setup costs. You pay nothing until you sell.

Paid out through Stripe. Your sales settle straight to your bank on a set payout cycle. No invoicing, no chasing.

You ship. We handle the customer. You stock and ship from your studio. FASTION runs the storefront, payments, customer service, returns conversations and chargebacks. You never have to deal with a buyer.

You can sell elsewhere too. No exclusivity. List on FASTION, Depop, your own site, Etsy, wherever you want. The only ask: keep stock honest across channels.

FAQ

Questions you'd
be mad not to ask.

The Founding Drop opens once the founding cohort is stocked and shot — we're recruiting now so we can build the catalogue, sort product photography and run a soft beta with a small audience first. Founding vendors are live from the first drop.
No. You stock and ship from your own studio — FASTION never holds inventory. When a customer orders, the order lands in your vendor dashboard with the delivery address, and you ship within your stated turnaround time.
Through Stripe, on a set cycle. During onboarding you connect a Stripe Express account from your vendor dashboard — about ten minutes, Stripe handles the ID and bank checks. Each payout run settles your sales, minus our commission, and Stripe pushes the money to your bank.
Yes. No exclusivity. List on FASTION, Depop, Etsy, your own site, wherever — we don't lock you in. The only ask is honest stock counts so we don't oversell. If a top is gone, mark it sold across channels.
We'll tell you straight. Most "no"s are because the brand is too early, too generic, or doesn't fit the festival/rave lens. Where it's a "not yet", we'll try to say what would change our mind.
FASTION handles every customer conversation, return and chargeback — you never deal with the buyer. Change-of-mind returns come back to your studio and the sale is reversed. Faulty or wrong-item returns are reversed too; if the fault was yours (wrong item sent, undisclosed damage), the return postage comes off your next payout. Nothing beyond the sale itself is ever taken from you.
FASTION runs the marketing relationship — the emails, the social. But every product page shows your brand prominently and links to your IG, so customers know they bought from you. Put your own thank-you note or card in the parcel — we encourage it.
FASTION runs the marketing — TikTok and IG content, vendor spotlights, email campaigns, festival activations and creator seeding as we scale. Founding vendors get first call on it, at no extra cost. Tag #fastionvendor on your own content and we'll amplify what we can.
Because 25 vendors is enough catalogue depth to feel like a real marketplace, and small enough that every vendor matters — a direct line to the team and a voice in the roadmap. After the first 25 we open a wider tier, and the experience changes.
