“Styles come and go. Good design is a language, not a style.”
— Massimo Vignelli
Welcome to North Moor, Home of the Custom Collective!
A Custom Collective is a way to custom design a bag based on North Moor styles and receive it with a shorter wait time and no limited monthly custom spot uploads. Bag enthusiasts join together, agree upon a design and I run the bag design for you. It’s collaborative, creative and a chance to broadcast your vision!
To Create a Custom Collective:
*Find a North Moor style on which to base your design. Use screen shots of your desired leather, liner and the style and post on the NORTH MOOR INSIDERS page on Facebook -see if you can get at least three others to join you on your design (a minimum of at least 4 customers total who have agreed to that particular combination of bag style, lining, hardware, etc for a production run. BUT the more members you have, the deeper the discount!) Alternatively, you can join someone else’s design either on that page or the COLLECTIVE INCUBATOR page where Collectives wait their turn to join production.
*When you have your design decided and have at least 4 members you can message Jess through the contact link on this page or through the North Moor FB page, she will give you permissions to add your Collective to the COLLECTIVE INCUBATOR Others can see this collective and join. The more members you gain, the higher the discount, see below!
*North Moor will reach out when they reach your spot on the Collective Incubator page. Once you have been given the go-ahead to take the next step,go to the COLLECTIVE LISTING for the appropriate style on this site and everyone from your collective makes their individual deposit. The deposit amount you choose on the dropdown will be based on the number of members in your Collective.
For each collectively designed style:
*4 customers allow a bag to be produced
• 6-9 customers earn a 10% discount on each bag
• *10+ customers the discount on each bag is 15%
**Please note that these bags may have extras made to safeguard against errors or be recreated with the same design and sold as in-stock bags at any time. It is a testament to your beautiful design choices!!
***While you are allowed to choose your strap styles we are no longer creating bags without straps for collectives.
**** If sending your own liner in, you can usually bet on 3/4 yards per bag UNLESS the liner has a specific direction and then 1 yard per bag is safer.
*****Often Orders are shipped together so you may receive a notification that a label was created but it will not enter the system for a few days as I gather several bags together for dropoff.
** Important: this is a relatively new endeavor, with many moving parts. If you are not feeling flexible or are worried about being part of something that is in progress, this may not be the option for you and Customs created in my studio would be a better choice (though exponentially slower). I will ALWAYS work with you to make sure you are happy, I just ask for patience while we grow. Additionally, if there are any configuration aberrations caused by the production team, the Collective will be given the choice for a remake or to keep the resulting bag
