Why Gatsby exists

As a result, many great designs never get produced.
We want to change that.

FAQs

Everything you need to know before starting.

What is the minimum order quantity?

It depends on the workshop you buy from. We work exclusively with small-batch producers, which means the minimum order quantity (MOQ) usually ranges from 0 to 20 pieces.

Do I get better margins than when buying from a distributor?

On high quality eyewear, yes. Buying directly from a manufacturers you skip a couple of steps in between which usually inflate the final price.
