What, who and why is Tipitam?
Tipitam is an online marketplace for clothing, footwear and accessories made in the European Union by independent brands.
We are a small European team - Agnieszka in Poland, Bogdan in Romania, Alise in Latvia and Bassan in France.
Besides the products that are all made in the EU, we run all of our services here too and our partners are based here as well.
The platform itself is developed and maintained by TeaCode and Artifact - exceptional Polish devs and designers.
For marketing, in France, we are working with Sacrés Français - specialists of everything made in France.
Everything is hosted in the EU, specifically with OVH in France and we try to use the maximum of open source / EU services. E-mails are with OVH and Thunderbird for example, and our internal communications are done on matrix/element. The payment's provider is Monetico, a service developed by the french CIC Bank.
Tipitam was born to promote EU craftsmanship and to make accessible all the awesome brands and creators that sometimes aren't visible enough online.
Fashion and textile industries were born on the continent, and we believe that its future is here too.
Shipping, delivery and returns
For the moment we allow sales and delivery in France only.
The main reason for that is the infamous PPWR regulation that makes it quite difficult for brands to register and sell accross the EU. It's easier in France because Tipitam is able to take care of everything but as far as we know that's not the case in other countries.
We are however working very hard to make our brands available in Germany and Poland next.
We could of course ask individual brands to register there themselves but we don't want to shift that burden to them and instead we will try our best to make their lives as easy as possible.
Each brand ships and delivers to you directly, when ordering you will see the full information on shipping pricing and delivery time.
You will receive a tracking link shortly after placing your order. If not, pleae contact us at contact@tipitam.eu or on our matrix.tipitam.eu server.
You have legal the right to withrawal for 14 days after having received the item. However, if you return products you have to pay for shipping yourself.
In case of refunds, we issue them after the brand has received the return item, or once you provide us with the tracking link, and maximum 14 days after receiving either.
If you return a product, we reimburse you but also reimburse the brand of our commission.
How much does it cost to sell on Tipitam?
Tipitam takes a 10% commission on all sales, excluding shipping.
Right now there is a 5% promotion for brands joining us before 30/11/2026.
This is the only fee we have - no subscriptions, no listing or other management fees.
How do you chose brands and why?
Tipitam focuses on brands manufacturing in the EU only.
We select our brands through friends and recommendations, if we have bought from them already.
Generally speaking we prefer working with those who take a stand against mass consumption and fast-fashion. Those who are engaged for the planet and for making durable things in a sustainable manner.
We cannot for the moment verify exactly that each brand is really making everything themselves - that would require an extensive audit - but we do personally talk to each brand.
