Numbered

Batch goods get a number and a count. When a run is gone we don't reprint it — the next one gets a new number.

Watch it happen

Every order page shows the real stage — sketching, sunrise, curing, packed. No mystery window.

Signed for good

Every piece leaves with a permanent serial you can look up, for as long as the record exists.

Cryptographically verified authentic

A live tap passed and its counter advanced.
