Done-for-You Merch, Extended With Care

Some projects want to stay small and hands-on. 
Others need room to live beyond the studio without pulling attention away from the work itself.

Fully hosted packages exist for that second case.

They’re for artists, bands, and brands who want their merch handled with the same care given to our own collections, without needing to manage the logistics that come after production.

The same approach.
Extended further.

When Merch Starts Taking Time Away

For a lot of people, merch starts as something exciting and slowly turns into another job.

Orders need to be tracked.
Inventory needs attention.
Reorders become a scramble.
Drops get delayed because everything else is already full.

None of that means the work isn’t good.
It usually means the system around it isn’t supporting the work.

Fully hosted packages remove that weight without changing how the work is made.

One Studio, One Continuum

Everything still begins the same way.

Illustration, garment selection, preparation, printing, and finishing all happen in the studio. The same hands. The same pace. The same attention to detail.

What changes is what happens after the collection is finished.

Once a project moves through the studio, it stays active. Inventory is tracked. Orders are fulfilled. Reorders are simple. Merch remains available without needing to be rebuilt or re-explained each time.

That continuity keeps the work intact and makes it easier to always have merch on hand.

Easy Reorders, Without Friction

Hosted collections support repeat runs without starting over.

Artwork, garments, and print setups already exist within the system. When something sells through, it can be refreshed or reordered deliberately, without urgency or guesswork.

This allows merch to move at a steady pace, staying available in a way that feels intentional rather than reactive.

Hosting as a Creative Tool

Hosting is about support, not scale.

Within fully hosted packages, we handle the parts of merch that usually pull attention away from the work itself. Web hosting, customer service, fulfillment, and product photography are all handled as part of the same system that produced the garments.

This allows hosted collections to remain available without constant involvement. Orders are processed. Inventory stays accurate. Customers are taken care of without day-to-day management.

Because these projects move through the studio from start to finish, hosted collections may also be shared through Humbles™ channels, including Mumbles™, our studio newsletter.

That exposure is rooted in community. It’s a way of sharing work we’re actively involved in with a like-minded audience that follows the studio for process, perspective, and the people behind the work.

This visibility is reserved exclusively for hosted collections and reflects projects that align with the studio’s values and ongoing conversation.

The goal is simple.
To let the merch live and circulate while you stay focused on your work.

Product Photography

Product photography is included with fully hosted packages.

It can also be purchased à la carte for projects that need consistent visuals without full hosting.

Photography is handled entirely in-house and photographed in our studio setting, offering both clean lay flats for product detail and on-body images that show how the garment wears and moves.

The focus stays on clarity, texture, and the piece as it actually exists. No heavy styling. No distractions. Just honest images that work across product pages, newsletters, and long-term use.

Shaped Through Experience

This system comes from years of managing our own releases, helping clients navigate broken setups, and watching good merch lose momentum when logistics take over.

Fully hosted packages exist to prevent that.

They support artists and brands who want their merch to stay available, feel consistent, and operate smoothly without becoming another responsibility.

Is This the Right Fit?

Fully hosted packages work best for people who:

• Want merch available without constant oversight

• Value easy reorders and consistency

• Care about presentation and longevity

• Prefer structure over managing logistics

• Want community-based exposure through studio channels

If that sounds familiar, this system was designed for you.

This piece is part of an ongoing set of studio notes from Humbles™, shared as the work takes shape.
