WHY ZABANA
Creating should be your focus.
Independent artists often have to create, photograph, post, answer messages, collect payments, pack, ship and manage returns — while still trying to be found among thousands of listings.
ZABANA does not replace your existing channels. We add a curated, service-led sales channel around your work.
WHAT ZABANA DOES FOR YOU
A complete presentation and sales service — not just another listing.
We create one consistent customer experience while keeping the artist visible behind every work.
02
Your artist profile
Your profile, story and links remain connected to your work. Every product can lead customers back to your artist page.
03
Physical showroom
Selected works can be displayed in the ZABANA space with artist identification and curated presentation elements.
04
Luxury packaging
ZABANA prepares the order in a consistent premium packaging system and includes the artist’s certificate where provided.
05
Sales & customer care
We organize checkout, customer communication, shipping preparation, returns handling and sales documentation.
06
No exclusivity
Keep Instagram, Etsy, your own shop, shows and other channels. ZABANA is an additional curated route to customers.
SEE IT IN ACTION
Not a concept on paper. A working presentation.
ZABANA is first tested with diNatalie products before external artists are invited. The same system is then used for participating artists.

FAQ
Everything important before you decide.
The full legal agreement remains separate. These answers explain the business model in plain language.
Who can become a ZABANA artist?
We can work with both professional/commercial artists and private hobby artists. The correct status is recorded during onboarding so invoices, payouts and legal information can be handled appropriately.
Do I have to stop selling on Etsy, Instagram or my own website?
No. ZABANA does not require general exclusivity. We want to add an additional curated channel, not restrict your existing business.
Who pays to send my work to ZABANA?
Normally the artist pays the initial shipment to ZABANA. Individual arrangements are possible. After arrival, ZABANA prepares the presentation and sales setup within the agreed model.
What happens if my work does not sell?
You can request the return of unsold work. Return shipping is normally paid by the artist unless a different arrangement has been agreed.
How are discounts handled?
The allowed discount range is agreed in advance. Our standard concept starts with no discount for six months and then allows gradual reductions up to 20%. Anything beyond that requires individual artist approval.
When do I get paid?
Completed eligible sales are settled once per month after the relevant customer withdrawal period has expired and the transaction is considered complete.
What if a customer returns or damages a piece?
ZABANA first reviews the actual situation and discusses product-related issues with the artist where necessary. Transport damage, customer misuse and a product defect are not treated as the same case.
Can ZABANA use photos of my work?
Yes, within the agreed ZABANA sales and marketing purpose. We may photograph, edit, crop and adapt imagery for presentation. The work remains clearly attributed to the artist and is not presented as a ZABANA-created design.
Will I have my own artist page?
Yes. You can provide as much or as little profile information as you wish. We show you the profile before it becomes public, and each relevant product can link back to it.
TRANSPARENT FROM THE BEGINNING
Read first. Ask questions. Decide afterwards.
Before any work is sent, participating artists receive the relevant terms and pricing information.

FROM ONE ARTIST TO ANOTHER
ZABANA is built from the artist side first.
I use the ZABANA system first with my own diNatalie work — from product presentation to packaging, sale and customer experience. Only after the process works in practice do I invite other artists to join.
That means you can see the shop, the presentation and the process before you decide whether ZABANA is right for you.
