Artists - Let's Work Together!
At Danamor, we love creative collaboration with artists from all walks of life. Don't see your craft covered here? Please reach out anyway if you feel inspired or have an idea!
Graphic, Laser + 3D Artists
Do you love making prints? Screen prints, repeating prints, painted prints, murals - I love it all. Iām looking to partner with graphic designers to make unique fabrics that celebrate queerness. Iām building relationships with excellent, sustainable printing facilities in the US, and now, I need you! Iām also looking for fun autocad/3d sculptures or laser cuts that can turn into accessories, like earrings, keychains, and jewelry.If you have an idea or an existing graphic that celebrates being queer, hit me up. Letās make some clothes!Iāll pay an upfront fee (negotiable) of $150-$250 and youāll get a royalty agreement for 3 years. Fee will depend on production costs and materials.
Fit Models
To date, Iāve been the fit model. I need your help! Iām looking for all genders and body types in Portland, OR. Fit models get a choice of cash $50 for two one hour sessions or the first of the outfit my team designs using your measurements.
To apply, send me an email atĀ dan@danamor.funĀ with Fit Model in the subject line. If you have your measurements, great. At a minimum, Iāll need height, chest/bust, high waist, low waist, thigh, neck and leg outseam/inseam. If you donāt, Iāve got ya.
Consignment
I love showcasing and featuring other designers! If youāre a local maker and produce joyful, fun, queered festival and dance wear, I want to talk to you! I feature a dozen+ designers in our retail store from all over the US.
Iām very interested in nonbinary designs-outfits that can be worn by all genders. I also love accessories: jewelry, sunglasses, hats, masks, cuffs, shoes, crazy scarvesā¦anything special that makes that night out super fun.
My process for consignment is pretty easy. You touch base via email or one of the social channels. If youāre in Portland, weāll meet up at our storefront. If not, we can do a video call and chat. Weāll look through your items together (no min or max number, 1 is fine!). Weāll agree on a price point (subject to change based demand if its a new product), sign an agreement, and bam, you are in Danamor! Note, I donāt take everything and if I donāt, Iāll give honest feedback on why.
I charge 30% consignment fee for items under ~$150, and 25% over ~$150. Contract runs for 120 days, but, if you want to end early, no problem. Iāll need a weeks notice to pull the inventory/close out sales.
Why 30%? I have to pay for shelf space, credit card processing fees, website and sales commissions. Consignment is normally 40-50%, I want to pass as much of the sales back to you!
Fashion Designers
Do you dream up and make festival garments for yourself? I might be interested in producing them! All genders and body types welcome. Youāll need a base set of patterns to start, if they are not graded, no problem, Iāll convert them into digital files, and grade them. You should have an idea of fabrics and accessories too, letās not start from scratch.My process for working with outside designers is pretty easy. You touch base via emaildan@danamor.funwith an image and description (what is it, what is it made from, what was your inspo?). You can send design files over in the first email too. All files sent to me are expressly your designs, I donāt copy without permission. If I think I can produce it, Iāll send over a design agreement with IP protections for both of us.
If youāre in Portland, weāll meet up at our storefront. If not, we can do a video call and chat.
The agreement is three years, youāll assign a nonexclusive right to use the design. When I sell the finished garment, youāll make a 5% royalty check, cut every quarter. You just sit back and collect!
Wholesalers
Iām a smaller shopāmy ability to purchase large wholesale orders is limited. My ideal wholesaler offers a 25-35% margin, on orders under $1000. But, if it sells well, Iāll be a repeat buyer!
