The creator ribbon
Haus of Creators
Proof of work, not spend.
Apply from the same account you shop with. Get approved, and your code, your wrapped drops and your Gallery page open up. Spend never buys an Haus ribbon.
The ladder
Four rungs, one craft
No follower count to clear, no spend to hit. The ladder moves on proof: approvals, tasks, traffic.
On the List
A waiting mark on your shelf. Queue only.
Approved
500 points once. The Approved seal. Limited Drop early access. Your unique code. Wrapped drops. A Gallery profile.
Curator
One more box per year. Extra yield on your own code.
Connoisseur
A seasonal box, physical if the season cleared the bar. Three-times Lounge weight. A Gallery feature. A $10 card when the season trigger hits.
The pace
Active, not huge
You do not get bounced for being small. Each season brings a quest card. Finish it, or show one verified proof:
- a qualifying tagged post, or
- a code sale
Either one keeps the ribbon.
Two silent seasons pause the Haus ribbon. The Keep ribbon is untouched.
One verified proof turns it back on, at the same rank.
Codes and wrapped drops
A 48-hour story
Your code is evergreen and yours alone. Wrapped drops are where it gets interesting.
1 You send 10. Your call who gets them.
2 The first 10 redemptions credit you.
3 It runs for 48 hours, then the window closes.
A wrapped drop is a story with a deadline, not "swipe my code."
The Gallery
This is the byline
Every approved creator gets a public page: their seal, their wrap paper, their featured posts, their code, and the wrapped-drop window when one is live.
- Product pages carry no creator byline. The Gallery does.
- Curators and Connoisseurs get featured placement, earned by traffic, not negotiated.
- A buyer hands your code over at checkout. That is the handshake.
Boxes
The warehouse follows the receipts
Physical boxes are gated by the sales you actually brought in. Early on there is no hard seat cap; the shelves open as the receipts justify them.
Approved
A digital kit. Seal pack, extra wrap, codes.
Curator
One physical box per year with qualifying sales, digital deluxe otherwise.
Connoisseur
A physical seasonal box when your code clears the season bar, digital deluxe otherwise.
Founders Lounge
Earn the room
Creators enter the Lounge at Approved plus one qualifying post or one code sale. Applying is not enough.
Approved and up
In the room, voting with their Keep ribbon
Curator
The shortlist, and the naming shortlist
Connoisseur
Three-times weight on the final product vote
One login, three ribbons
The rest of the house
Gifted, for shoppers
The Keep ladder, season cards, your shelf. Ribbons that never reset.
The Foundry, for makers
Invitation. Agreement. Bring a piece, share the net. Only Foundry shares profit.
Yappin is Haus. Inventing is Foundry.
