Atelier

Trace a luxury item through its making — materials, origin, artisans, footprint — and score how transparent, and how sustainable, it really is. Make heritage provable instead of marketed.

Start from a sample, or build your own
?
What are these samples?Three illustrative items — fully transparent, partly proven, and mostly marketed — to show the score in action. They are teaching examples, not claims about real products.

Materials

  • Materials traced to source· 3 pts

    Each primary material is traced back to the farm, mine, mill or tannery it came from.

  • Low-impact / certified materials· 2 pts

    Materials carry a recognised certification (e.g. organic, recycled, responsibly sourced).

Origin

  • Country & region of making disclosed· 2 pts

    Where the item was actually made is named, not hidden behind a flagship label.

  • Made at a single named workshop· 1 pt

    The piece was assembled in one identifiable atelier rather than an opaque chain.

Artisans

  • Named artisan / workshop· 3 pts

    The people who made it can be named and credited.

  • Hand-work hours documented· 2 pts

    The hours of skilled hand-work that went into the piece are recorded.

  • Fair-labour & living wage· 2 pts

    Wages and working conditions are documented and independently checked.

Footprint

  • Carbon footprint disclosed· 2 pts

    The greenhouse-gas footprint of making the item is measured and published.

  • Repairable / built to last· 2 pts

    The maker offers repair and the piece is designed to be kept, not replaced.

Transparency
?
How the transparency score worksEach detail is worth a fixed number of points (shown in the walk). A Claimed detail earns half its points; a Verified one earns all of them; Not disclosed earns none. The score is the points earned out of the points possible — so marketing alone never scores like proof.

A story you can verify — heritage you can prove.

Transparency
?
What Transparency measuresHow much of the supply chain is shown rather than hidden — materials traced, place of making and workshop disclosed.
100%
Sustainability
?
What Sustainability measuresCertified low-impact materials, fair labour and living wage, and a disclosed carbon footprint.
83%
Craftsmanship
?
What Craftsmanship measuresNamed artisans, documented hand-work hours, and whether the piece is repairable and built to last.
100%
89% of what is disclosed is independently verified — the rest is still only claimed.
?
What is the proof ratio?Of every detail you marked Claimed or Verified, the proof ratio is the share that is actually Verified (weighted by points). 100% means nothing rests on an unbacked claim.

Provenance chain

?
What is the provenance chain?Every item you seal is hashed together with the one before it into a tamper-evident SHA-256 chain. Open any item to verify its seal and the whole chain. The % is its transparency score.
