Over the last almost-two-decades, we have become pros at printing, cutting, sewing, shipping and making all-round beautiful products. If you&#8217;ve read this far, it&#8217;s safe to say you&#8217;re somewhat of a pattern-design-guru. What better basis to build a glorious relationship on than putting your stunning patterns on our amazing products?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Step 1: Design your pattern<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This one is on you. Browse the Contrado range, find something that screams at you from the selection of fashion, homeware, fabrics and leathers and then simply upload your designs. You can play with positioning, thread colours, fabrics and materials. Fine-tune your options, until you have something that is just what you always imagined it would be. You can even add your very own brand label. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Step 2: Sell your product<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll do this one together. We can offer you space to create your very own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/why-join-us\">online store<\/a>, where you can keep your collections and write beautiful descriptions that tell your customer about the origins of your artwork. You&#8217;ll have a huge platform where you do you, exclusively, with a 20% profit margin at least. You can even order for craft &amp; art fairs using amazing wholesale discounts too. You never need to keep a large stock holding, because of the way that step-three works. Instead you can really push your name out there are hard or as gently as you like to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Step 3: We make it for you<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We handmake everything to order, on-demand. This means that not only do you not need to keep a large stock holding, but neither do we. Everything is made beautifully, just as you and your customer want it to be. You don&#8217;t have to bulk order a number of sizes, colours and everything else, just do that you know that you&#8217;ve got all the bases covered, as all options are offered to all customers, and we make whichever one they choose. Best of all, we do it fast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"825\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/pattern-3.jpg\" alt=\"add your pattern to any product\" class=\"wp-image-4616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/pattern-3.jpg 825w, https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/pattern-3-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/pattern-3-768x465.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 825px) 100vw, 825px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>Watch Our Guide<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you know how to sell pattern designs why not learn how to boost your online businesses presence.
