For makers and brands · Indelible Shop

Authentication is a cost. A marketplace is a return.

Indelible Shop is a marketplace open to businesses that carry the mark. Every listing declares its standard, and the buyer can check the claim before they pay.

Most anti-counterfeiting spend is defensive: it protects a margin but never grows one. Indelible Shop is the other half of the equation, a place where the proof you have paid for becomes a reason to buy.

Every listing declares its standard: Original, Marked or Approved.

A buyer who came for proof

People arrive at Indelible Shop looking for authenticity. They are not being sold on it.

A price that can be defended

Verified provenance supports the price. It is the argument against discounting.

Resale that holds

The record travels with the object into the secondary market, where it can be checked again.

Both sides of the ledger

The proof you paid for, working for you twice.

You mark an object to stop a counterfeiter. That is the defensive case, and it is a good one.

But the mark is also the most persuasive thing you can put in front of a buyer: it turns a claim into a demonstration. In categories built on provenance, such as art, memorabilia, single-origin produce and collectable apparel, that demonstration is not a footnote to the sale. It is the sale.

Indelible Shop exists so that the mark earns its keep on both sides of the ledger.

The standard

What a listing carries.

Every product on Indelible Shop is graded against the same standard, and the grade is published on the item.

Indelible Original mark

Indelible Original

The mark is applied during production, or at source when the work is made or signed.

Provable. Testable.
Indelible Marked mark

Indelible Marked

The mark is applied after creation to an existing object.

Provable. Testable.
Indelible Approved mark

Indelible Approved

Sourced through partners whose provenance meets our standard. Genuine, without a molecular mark, and the listing says so.

A sourcing standard, not a molecular mark

Who it is for

An option, not an obligation.

The provenance works the same whether or not you list.

Makers

Artists, producers, makers

You have the object and the story, but not the shelf. The marketplace gives you a buyer who came looking for what you can prove.

Challengers

Emerging brands

You are competing against imitation before you have the scale to fight it. A published standard is fast credibility.

Established

Brands with their own distribution

You may never need our channel, and that is a good answer. Take the mark, keep your route to market, and use the proof where it suits you.

Process

How a listing works.

  1. 01

    Mark

    The object is marked, or its sourcing is verified, and the standard it meets is established.

  2. 02

    Grade

    Original, Marked or Approved. The grade is published on the listing and never implied.

  3. 03

    List

    The product goes live on Indelible Shop, alongside marked goods from artists, producers, clubs and collectors.

  4. 04

    Sell

    The buyer can verify before they pay, and the provenance record follows the object into resale.
