Fremont Tote - License to Sell

By purchasing a license to sell your finished Klum House bags, you are showing respect for Klum House’s labor and intellectual property. Klum House founder Ellie Lum has spent over two decades mastering the craft of bag design. She’s spent many hours designing this bag, and the Klum House team has spent many hours developing the kit, pattern, and instructions to help you make it successfully.

In a sense, your finished bag is a collaboration between you and Klum House! We have done the legwork of designing the bag and instructional materials, and you are sourcing your materials and putting in the labor at your sewing machine! This license is a legal, ethical, and energetic agreement that we consider to be based in mutual respect and empowerment for both parties.

If you are already selling Klum House bags without a license, we ask that you please purchase the license now, so you are officially a licensed seller moving forward. Please take into consideration past sales when selecting the appropriate number of bags.

If you are selling a limited amount of Klum House bags to friends and family, please purchase a Small Batch Maker license to sell, which covers between 1-50 bags sold within the three year license period.

We know that it’s not possible to know exactly how many bags you are going to sell in advance. We ask that you do your best to estimate the number of bags that most closely aligns with your plans. If you end up selling more bags than the maximum allotted in the license you purchased, we ask that you please purchase an additional license.

This license to sell is non-refundable, even for makers who decide to sell fewer Klum House bags or stop selling bags altogether. Unfortunately, we cannot make exceptions to this term.

We love to see makers put their own creative spin on our patterns! Even if you have made minor alterations or customizations, you still need to purchase a license and give proper attribution to the bag’s origins. Making small changes, or “derivative works” would include, as examples, using different types of fabric, adding/subtracting features, using different types of hardware, adjustments to the dimensions, etc.

Feel free to add your own brand name label to the bags! This includes patches, labels, hang tags, etc. to your bags that proudly display your own business name.

You are also welcome to name this bag however you’d like in your online shop. We do ask, however, that you give attribution in the product’s description by including the following text: “This bag was made using the Fremont Tote pattern by Klum House” with a hyperlink to www.klumhouse.com wherever possible.

Yes, please include the following text in all of your product listings: “This bag was made using the "(Insert name of bag, ie: Fremont) pattern by Klum House” with a hyperlink to www.klumhouse.com wherever possible.

For social media posts, please give credit to Klum House featuring this bag wherever possible by tagging @klumhouse and using #klumhouse
