Threadless was such an inspiration for me 15+ years ago. They found a niche and created a wonderful marketplace in which the artists got paid well (I remember each design was bought for $5K) and so the consumer would get more variety, so they would come back and the cycle goes on forever.
Or so we tought. I never bought a tee from them, since the international shipping fees were too high. And when they did, the stigma about their poor quality was very loud.
However I can't believe they're that low. Turns out quality does matter, and not just a very good design.
- EADGBE 9y agoI thought the article said it paid artists $750 for a design with a $250 credit for shirts.
- rsoto 9y agoWhat I'm saying is what I remember back then, the article says it was up to $2,500 but I remember it was more as I myself was considering submitting a design. $750 cash + $250 gift card is the price in these days.
