Your First Drop

Launch your first collection

Stop promoting. Start owning.

You spent years building your community.

It’s time to build something that belongs to you.

Your audience is an asset

You know your community, its tastes and its wishes. That is the starting point to imagine a product that looks like it.

You can create your own brand

Fashion, accessories, lifestyle, beauty or leather goods: let’s pick a universe that fits your image and your market.

You can build a business

Instead of depending only on sponsored collaborations, build a new source of income around physical products.

Your next post could announce YOUR brand.

What will be your next signature product?

  • Fashion & streetwear

  • Bags & leather goods

  • Beauty & care

  • Fashion accessories

  • Home & lifestyle

  • Stationery & creator essentials

We don’t just offer you a collaboration.
We build a business project.

Partner Drop

The product and its financing are organised with partners under a defined agreement. You contribute to the brand, the content and the sales, with earnings tied to sales or contractual results.

Own Brand

You want to invest in your own stock and build a brand you control. Shipsen Market can support you with sourcing and commercial coordination.

Financial terms, brand rights, costs and risk sharing are defined before any launch.

You don’t need a factory.
You need a vision and a community.

  • Lifestyle or fashion influencer
  • Beauty or fashion creator
  • Expert with a specialised community
  • Digital creator with an engaged audience

Even a niche community can be interesting if it matches a real product need. Selection depends on engagement, the consistency of the demand and feasibility.

Frequently asked questions

Does it cost anything to apply?+

No. Applying is free. If your project is selected, the terms (costs, earnings, brand rights) are presented and agreed with you before any launch.

Do I need a lot of followers?+

Not necessarily. We mostly look at your community’s engagement, the fit between your universe and the product, and the project’s feasibility. A niche community can work.

Who makes the product?+

Manufacturers selected on Shipsen Market, in Morocco, Turkey, Asia or elsewhere, depending on the product, the expected quality and the quantities.

Who owns the brand?+

It depends on the model. With Own Brand, the brand is yours. With Partner Drop, the split of rights is set in the agreement before launch.

Which countries is the programme open to?+

The programme is for creators across Africa. Feasibility depends on import, delivery and payment in your country, which we study with you.

What happens after I apply?+

Our team reviews your profile and your idea. If the project fits, we contact you for a first conversation and a feasibility study.
