When do you feel the most free?

I make bags slowly, in small numbers, for the woman who was never meant for ordinary.

The ION collection is woven by hand in Madagascar. The leather line is made in Athens. Each one goes to a person I will remember.

A few of those people carry the work first. It happens in three steps. Everyone begins with a two-month trial, and from there we grow together, at the pace the work and the friendship allow.

1 · The Trial — two months

Nothing is gifted at this stage. If the pieces speak to you, you buy your first one yourself, at a price kept only for you.

• A personal code, 30% off, for your own pieces — up to two during the trial. It is yours alone.
• A code of your own for your followers: 10% off their first FELUS piece.
• 10% commission on every order your code or link brings in.

What we ask: two or three posts or stories over the two months, in your own words. Tag @felus, share your code, and tell us honestly what you think of the piece.

The two-month review

At the end of the trial, the FELUS manager looks back with you: what your followers bought, how the pieces looked in your hands, how people responded, and how it felt to work together. There is no single number to reach. Then one of three things happens — you move up to The Circle, we extend the trial by one month, or we part warmly and every commission earned is paid.

2 · The Circle — six months, renewable

• A gifted piece from each collection, chosen with you. Raffia or leather.
• 15% commission on every order your code or link brings in.
• Your 30% personal code and your 10% code for followers stay with you.
• First sight of new pieces, before they are shown anywhere else.
• Paid projects, when a piece of work asks for more than a post.

What we ask: up to three personal goals, set together and sized to you — one for sales, one for content, one for our relationship. A short check-in every two months. And permission to share your FELUS content on our own pages, with credit. Reaching your goals opens the door to The Muses.

3 · The Muses — by invitation

A small group of our closest partners, invited by me from The Circle.

• A reserved piece from each new collection.
• 20% commission on every order your code or link brings in.
• Your personal codes stay with you.
• Paid projects, each agreed on its own terms: what you make, the fee, and how we may use it.
• Invitations to FELUS dinners, presentations and travel.
• A say in the work: early sight of samples and, in time, perhaps a piece made with you.

What we ask: personal goals for the year, reviewed every three months, at least one project each season, and discretion on pieces not yet shown.

A few simple rules

• Your 30% code is personal. If it is shared, it is closed.
• Your 10% code is for your own audience, never for coupon or deal websites. Codes do not combine.
• Commission is counted on what the customer pays, before VAT and shipping, and paid automatically after the 30-day return window.
• Your own voice, always. No scripts.
• Mark every post as a paid partnership or #ad.
• Either of us can end things with two weeks' notice. Every commission earned is paid, and any gifted piece is yours to keep.
