Starting fees? What the hell is a starting fee?
Should you really have to pay to start buying clothes?
For us at ArtByBearded, that sounds completely backward.
In our industry, so-called setup fees are still common – a cost charged before a single garment has even been produced. This is often justified with administration, startup, or "processes". But honestly: why should you, the customer, pay to become a customer?
We don't think that makes sense.
Clothing shouldn't start with a hurdle
Whether you run a small company, a growing team, or an established business, it should be easy to create branded or workwear.
It shouldn't feel like a project filled with hidden costs and unnecessary fees.
With us, there are no setup fees.
You pay for what actually creates value:
- the garments
- the print or embroidery
- the quality
- the details
Nothing else.
So what exactly is a setup fee?
In many cases, setup fees are a way to:
- cover inefficient workflows
- lock in the customer early
- or charge for something that needs to be done anyway
We have chosen a different path.
By working smarter, having clear processes, and focusing on relationships instead of one-off transactions, we can offer the same – or better – quality without adding an extra cost just to get started.
Focus on the garment – not the invoice
Our goal is to create clothes that people actually want to wear.
Not just at work, but also in their private lives.
When you don't have setup fees, you can instead put your budget towards:
- better materials
- nicer details
- an expression that feels right for your brand
That makes a difference. For the overall impression, for the employees' experience, and for how you are perceived externally.
Simple, honest, and no bullshit
We believe in transparency.
You should know what you're paying for – and why.
No complicated arrangements.
No setup fees.
No surprises.
Just clothes with quality, personality, and that little extra something.
