Custom orders

Have it made for you.

Some producers accept custom orders. A unique piece, a wedding set, an engraving. We handle the flow from briefing to delivery, without scattered private messages.

1 · Find the producer

See who accepts custom orders in the list below, or check the "Accepts custom orders" badge on each profile. Each one shows what they typically make and examples of their work.

2 · Submit the briefing

Tell them what you want. Size, colour, intent, deadline. Attach reference photos if it helps. We'll ask you to sign in with your account (just your email), so the request is saved and you can track it.

3 · The producer responds

The producer receives your request and responds with a proposal. They accept at the published price, propose a custom quote, or decline, always with an explanation.

4 · You pay, work begins

When you accept the quote, you pay (card or MB Way via Stripe). The producer only receives the money when you confirm receipt of the final piece.

5 · Stages and review

The producer shares work stages with photos. You approve each one or request changes. Everything is recorded in case of dispute.

6 · Delivery

When it's ready, you choose courier shipping, hand delivery by the producer, or pickup at the workshop. You receive, you confirm. Paid.

Why it's different

  • In private messages, deadlines, briefings and photos get lost. Here everything is recorded.
  • The money is held until you confirm receipt. You're safe, the producer is safe.
  • Each stage is a photo with your approval. You see the work happening.
  • If there's a disagreement, there's proof. We mediate with a clear history.
