31% of Nivara Revenue

Creator Studio — Upcycled Circular Marketplace

Active Channel

Creator Studio is a marketplace for upcycled goods made from reclaimed material, with order tracking from ordered to packed to dispatched to delivered. Sellers are artisans and creators; Nivara earns a share of each sale.

High-grade non-ferrous metals (hand-hammered pure copper, brassware, and engineered scrap components) are channeled directly to master craftsmen instead of being melted at low scrap values.

  • Reclaimed pure copperware & artisanal lifestyle artifacts
  • Milestone order tracking: Ordered → Packed → Dispatched → Delivered
  • Direct fair payout to artisans with platform take-rate margin
