How you get in before a drop, and how you stay ahead of the ones after it. Passes are not on sale yet. This is how it will work.
A Pass is released ahead of each drop in the Series. Holding one gives you the right to claim a bag from that drop before it opens to anyone else. One Pass, one bag. A claim on the run, not a discount on it.
Your tier is fixed by Pass number the moment you buy. Nothing to race for later. When Passes go live, a counter here will show which band is open and the drop it claims, so you know what you are getting before you pay.
Structure shown for reference. No tier is open, and nothing here is live. Every tier carries voting, Founders Exclusives, and Reserve access from the day it is bought, whichever drop it claims.
Sixty days from the announced date to exercise the claim at $485. Claims open when the bags are shipping, not months ahead of them. Holding four hundred finished bags while people make up their minds costs money, and that cost would end up in the price. We are building a bag company, not running a storage unit.
Miss the window and the Pass stays yours, along with your number, your vote, and priority on everything that follows. Guaranteed claim is the part you lose. Unclaimed bags go to the Founders Reserve.
Four tiers cover the Founders Series, one for each drop, and one Pass for every bag. Tier 1 is Drop 1: four hundred Passes, and it never expands.
Nothing later will be this small, so Tier 1 stays the scarcest of them, and grows scarcer as the ones above it expand. Each tier after it is larger than the last, and each carries its own priority window ahead of general release.
Claiming a Founders Series bag is the first thing a Pass does. It is not the last. Every drop that follows, including anything released outside the Series, opens to Pass holders before it opens to anyone else. First come, first served inside that window, with tier order deciding who gets through the door first.
That does not expire when the Series ends. A Pass is a standing place at the front of the queue, for as long as there is a queue.
This is the part that matters most to us. A Pass carries a vote. Colorways, materials, collaborations, and what makes it into future drops get decided with the people who were early, not announced to them after the fact.
Vote weight is highest at Tier 1 and steps down from there, so whoever committed first keeps the most say. A brand this size has no use for a focus group. It needs a few hundred people who care about the same thing and will tell us when we get it wrong.
Collaborations, colorways, and product decisions run through that group first. If you would rather buy a bag and never hear from us again, that is fine. The Pass is for the people who want the other thing.
The OG designation belongs to the account, not the Pass. A Pass can change hands. The designation cannot. Whoever was among the first stays on the record as one of the first, whatever they later do with the Pass.
An access-controlled channel open to Pass holders across every tier. Unclaimed bags, samples, and strictly limited exclusives go there, and they go to the Founders community first.
Not a discount channel, and not a clearance shelf. Making something properly leaves small quantities behind. Those go to Founders rather than onto a public listing.
Not a loyalty program, not a points balance, and not a mailing list with a better name. A Pass is a record of having been early to something small on purpose, and a standing claim on everything after it.
Nothing is on sale yet. When Drop 1 opens, the list hears first.
A new carry, and a short list that hears it first.
You are on the list. We will be in touch before Drop 1.
