Ossuary Atelier · Archive Collaboration Agreement · 2026

Ossuary Atelier is built around the idea that a garment's story doesn't end at the point of sale. Archive pieces — our rarest, most documented finds — deserve to be seen in the world. This agreement is how we make that happen together. It's simple, mutual, and built on taste rather than follower count.

01
The Archive Tier

Archive pieces are items with carefully researched provenance, unusual labels, or significant story value — things we've researched, dated, and documented in detail. Each Archive item has a dedicated story page that stays live on this site.

These are not standard thrift finds. They are recovered objects with a documented history — and the right person wearing one, in the right context, is part of what makes that history worth telling. That's where you come in.

02
What We Each Bring
What Ossuary Atelier provides
  • One Archive piece, gifted or at a mutually agreed discounted price before any collaboration begins
  • The item's full story page — era, origin, provenance — which you can share and reference as context for your content
  • Credit and feature placement on the item's story page and/or our website blog under an "As Worn By" section
  • No scripting, no brand voice demands — you talk about the piece in your own words, the way you would with anything you genuinely wear
What we ask in return
  • A minimum of 2 posts featuring the item within 4 weeks of receiving it — at least one must be a Reel or video format
  • @ossuaryatelier tagged in every post — in the caption, not just as a vague mention
  • Content that meets our quality standard — see Section 03 below
  • Permission for Ossuary Atelier to repost or embed your content on our website, story pages, or Instagram — with credit to you, always
The 4-week window starts from the date of confirmed receipt — not the date of this agreement. If something comes up and you need more time, let us know before the deadline, not after. We're flexible with people who communicate.
03
Content Standard

We're not asking for a production shoot. We're asking for content that looks like you actually care about the piece — which, if you've agreed to this, we hope you do.

✓
Natural light or considered artificial light. The item should be visible and readable — not lost in a dark background or blown out.
✓
The garment is the focus. At least one post should show the full piece clearly — flat lay, hanging, or worn head-to-toe.
✓
Some mention of what the piece is. Not a paragraph — a line in the caption, or a spoken moment in a video. "This is an Archive piece from Ossuary Atelier — its story is on the website."
✓
Mention that the piece has a written origin story if possible — not required, but appreciated. Provenance is the brand's main feature.
✗
No blurry mirror selfies where the item is barely visible. If we can't tell what you're wearing from the thumbnail, it doesn't count toward the minimum.
✗
No bulk tag dumps — @ossuaryatelier buried in 30 other tags counts as tagged but not as genuine reach. We'd prefer one post where the tag means something over five posts where it doesn't.
If you're unsure whether something meets the standard before you post, send it to us over DM first. We'd rather give feedback than have either side feel like the collaboration didn't land.
04
Content Rights & Credit

You own your content. We are asking for permission to share it — not to claim it. Specifically: by entering this agreement you grant Ossuary Atelier a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to repost, embed, or feature your content on our Instagram, website, and item story pages, with clear credit to your account in every use.

We will never use your content in paid advertising without a separate conversation and your explicit written agreement. We will never crop out your username or remove your watermark.

You may continue to wear, style, and post the item however you like after the collaboration window. The piece is yours. The story page remains live. If you want to add something to it — a photo, a caption, a chapter — we welcome that. There is no obligation.

05
What Happens If…

…you post fewer than the agreed minimum?
We'll follow up once. If content isn't forthcoming and there's been no communication, future collaboration offers won't be extended. We don't chase or invoice — we just don't repeat the arrangement.

…you don't like the item when it arrives?
Tell us before you post anything. If there's a genuine fit or condition issue we weren't aware of, we'll discuss it. We're not asking you to promote something you don't want to wear.

…you want to resell the item later?
That's your right — you own it. We'd appreciate a heads up so we can note the ownership change on the story page. Not a requirement, just considerate of the concept.

…you want to do more than the minimum?
Please do. Some of the best content comes from people who genuinely connect with a piece. We will always reshare and credit it.

06
Agreement & Confirmation

This is a good-faith agreement between two people who both want the collaboration to work. It is not a legal contract — it is a clear statement of what we each expect so that nothing is ambiguous.

Confirming this agreement over DM — with a message like "I've read the partnership terms and I'm in" — constitutes acceptance. No signature required. The 4-week content window begins from the date of that confirmation.
