What to include on a Textile Designer invoice
Your invoice needs your business details and theirs, obviously, but also specifics about what you created. Include the design title or collection name, the number of colorways or variations, and whether you're selling the design outright or licensing it. If it's a license, state the usage rights clearly: exclusive or non-exclusive, what products they can make, which territories, how long. Fabric companies and manufacturers have strict accounting departments that will kick back vague invoices.
Most textile designers ask for 50% upfront before starting work, then the rest on delivery of final files. If you're doing a large collection, split it into thirds: deposit, midpoint review, and finals. For licensing deals, you might negotiate an advance against royalties. Net 30 is standard but try for Net 15 when you can, especially with smaller studios.
Always specify your file formats and what happens if they need revisions after delivery. The fastest way to create payment delays is delivering a design, then having the client claim they need it in a different repeat size or file type. State exactly what formats you'll provide and charge separately for additional technical work.
Frequently asked questions
How do textile designers charge?
Textile designers charge per pattern ($200–$1,500), per colorway ($75–$200), or hourly ($50–$150). Licensing existing designs earns royalties of 3–10% of wholesale. Buyout pricing is 2–5x the per-design fee.
What should a textile design invoice include?
Include pattern descriptions, number of colorways, repeat dimensions, file formats delivered, usage rights (exclusive vs. non-exclusive), and any production consulting time.
Should textile designers sell exclusive or non-exclusive rights?
Exclusive rights command 2–5x the price since you can't resell the design. Non-exclusive allows you to license the same pattern to multiple clients. Clearly state the licensing terms on every invoice.
