FTC & Affiliate Disclosure
Effective Date: September 1, 2026 • Last Revised: September 2026
1. Transparency & Editorial Ethics
Suits & Satchels is committed to total transparency, intellectual honesty, and uncompromising editorial integrity. We operate in strict conformity with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255).
Our mission is to celebrate the convergence of haute sartorial fashion and premium tabletop gaming. Because trust is our most cherished asset, we ensure our readers always know whenever a commercial incentive, affiliate partnership, complimentary sample, or sponsorship is associated with any product or brand mentioned on this platform.
2. How Affiliate Links Work
Performance Commissions at Zero Cost to You
Throughout our articles, gift guides, boutique roundups, and shop collections, you will find curated links to apparel, leather goods, bespoke dice sets, luxury gaming trunks, and board games. Some of these hyperlinks are “affiliate links.”
If you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, the merchant pays Suits & Satchels a small referral commission or percentage fee. This occurs at zero additional expense to you—the retail price remains identical (or lower when using our exclusive club discount codes).
3. Editorial Independence & Critical Objectivity
We adhere to rigid standards regarding product recommendations and reviews:
Curated With Discretion
We only recommend items, brands, and artisans that our editors and contributors genuinely admire, test, wear, or play. An affiliate program never dictates whether a product is featured.
No Paid Positive Reviews
We never accept compensation, affiliate guarantees, or gifts in return for guaranteed positive commentary or higher ratings. Our critique reflects honest editorial judgment.
4. Sponsored Collaborations & Review Samples
From time to time, Suits & Satchels collaborates with luxury fashion ateliers, bespoke leatherworkers, and tabletop publishers through specific engagement models:
- Complimentary Review Copies & Press Samples: When a game prototype, rulebook, watch, or satchel is provided gratis for evaluation, we explicitly state this in the article header or review metadata.
- Sponsored Features: Any article, video, or photo essay produced in financial partnership with an advertiser is prominently designated with words such as “Sponsored Collaboration,” “In Partnership With,” or “Paid Advertisement” at the top of the publication.
- Event & Tournament Sponsorships: When event venues, prizes, or hospitality are provided by brand patrons for Suits & Satchels tournaments or calendar listings, notice of sponsorship is included in the program notes.
5. Affiliate Networks & Merchant Partners
Suits & Satchels may participate in various affiliate marketing programs, including but not limited to direct brand ambassador programs, ShareASale, CJ Affiliate, Impact, Rakuten Advertising, and select curated luxury retailers. We also feature unique discount codes (accessible on our Partnerships page) that offer verified member savings while supporting our editorial endeavors.
