Custom Design Binder Commissions



Sometimes a print just isn’t quite enough.

For over five years we’ve been creating custom-designed, one-of-a-kind binders for folks to use as cosplay pieces, have a little bit of their favorite character to wear around, or just to have a truly customized binder that they designed themselves. From comic book superheroes and villains, to cartoon and anime characters, to video game characters, to completely original designs, each binder is a true work of art. Co-owner and Head Tailor, Eli, works individually with each customer to design the piece, and then drafts and hand-appliques the design to bring it to life.

Custom design binders start at $200 and will take up to 30 days to process. We are currently accepting 2 commissions per month. We reserve the right to decline a commission for any reason. If we’ve filled our commissions for the month, we will notify you upon receiving your application and let you know whether you’ve been added to our wait list or we’ve decided to decline your commission.

If you’d like to commission a custom design binder, please fill out the form below.

      • I understand that requesting a commission does not guarantee that Shapeshifters will take it on. I understand that if Shapeshifters does accept my commission that adjustments may have to be made to the design and that Shapeshifters will work with me to finalize a design that I am happy with and takes into consideration the limitations of the medium. I understand that payment is due in full once we have agreed to a final design before construction can begin. But if we cannot agree to a final design, no payment will be made and the commission will be closed. I understand that due to the design process and the complexities of constructing my custom design, my binder may take up to 30 days to complete and ship.
