For Kin: Designer Terms.

The Kin Collective is about originality, nostalgia and culture. To keep it that way, we need to set a few ground rules.

1. Original Work Only

  • You must only submit designs that are 100% your own work.

  • No copied logos (Adidas, Nike, etc).

  • No band logos, lyrics, or anything under copyright.

  • No AI-generated images.

  • No photographs or artwork you don’t own.

If it’s not yours, it’s not for us.

2. Payment

  • If your design is selected, you’ll be paid £50 (GBP) as a one-off fee.

  • We may also give you store credit so you can order an item with your design.

  • Payments are made by PayPal or bank transfer within 30 days of us confirming your design has been chosen.

3. Rights

  • You keep the copyright to your artwork.

  • By accepting payment, you give Millsy & Kin a permanent licence to adapt, print, market, and sell your design on our products.

  • You can still use your design elsewhere — but you must not license or sell the exact same design to another clothing or merch retailer.

4. Credit

  • Your name (or chosen handle) will be credited on our website and socials wherever your design appears.

5. Selection

  • Not all submissions will be chosen.

  • If your design is selected, we’ll contact you directly with next steps.

  • Once approved and paid, your design may be used on any Millsy & Kin product (e.g. t-shirts, mugs, framed prints) and across our platforms, with no time limit.

6. Files

  • Submit your work as a high-res file — ideally PNG with a transparent background.

  • We won’t accept low-quality, watermarked, or AI-generated files.


By submitting your design, you agree to these terms.

Testimonials From the kin

I wish every company had the customer service communication skills as you do. I run my own small independent business and I know how reviews can help or hinder, you will be getting 5 stars from me as my partner already loves her t shirt from you. So well done on the honesty in your email.

I would like to say a big thank you for pulling out all the stops in getting the t shirts to me in double quick time.I am really impressed with the whole process and the communication with you and your company.Is there a site you use for reviews, as people are always quick in telling the world when things go wrong but slow when things go great and I feel I need to tell everyone about my positive dealings with you!!Many thanks and we will be using you again.
