Independent stores, side by side.

Panopie is a new clothing marketplace for independent labels, boutiques, and vintage stores. Each store keeps its own name, prices, shipping, and return policy. Shoppers will be able to browse many stores and check out from one bag.

Where we are now. Panopie is in a private pilot, and the marketplace itself is not public yet. No store is selling, and shoppers can’t buy anything. We are not taking store applications yet. Stores can see how to join.

For stores

Your store stays yours.: Your store page shows your store name, your pieces, and your policies. You set your prices, ship your own orders, and handle your own returns, following the pilot terms and the law.
Not exclusive.: Keep selling on your own site, in your shop, and anywhere else.
Every store and listing is reviewed.: We review each store, and each listing and its photos, before it goes live. Review checks that a listing is complete and has no obvious problem. It doesn’t confirm that what the listing says is true.
New or pre-owned, on every listing.: Every listing must say whether a piece is new or pre-owned. A pre-owned piece needs a condition grade and notes on any wear. A piece listed as vintage must say whether it is a new piece in a vintage style, pre-owned vintage, or unworn vintage (deadstock). Pre-owned and unworn vintage pieces must be at least 20 years old and give their era. These are the store’s own statements.
Fees.: Fees are set out in the pilot terms we share with each store we invite. Panopie won’t charge you any fee that you haven’t accepted.
What we don’t do.: We don’t promise traffic, sales, or a date for opening to shoppers. We don’t inspect, authenticate, or guarantee products.

How stores join

We invite stores in batches. If we emailed you, you can reply to that email to hear more. Our first emails were signed THREADLINE, Panopie’s earlier name, and came from our founder’s own email address. Replying there is fine, or you can write to hello@panopie.com.

If we didn’t email you, and you’d like to hear when we invite more stores, write to us at hello@panopie.com. We can’t promise an invitation. Please don’t send ID documents, tax numbers, or product files.

The pilot is not offered in Quebec. We don’t accept stores based in Quebec or shipping from Quebec.

If you email us, we use your email address and message only to answer you, including to tell you when we invite more stores, and to keep a record of our contact with your store. Our email service providers may store messages outside Canada. To ask what we hold about you, or to ask us to delete it, write to the same address.

For shoppers

Shopping isn’t open yet. We plan to open to shoppers only after enough stores are live and checkout is ready. We don’t have a date yet.
