Our 5-month production cycle is a standard timeframe that allows us to dedicate the necessary attention to sourcing custom materials, handling lab dip approvals, prototyping, and ensuring the premium finish that Portuguese manufacturing is known for. This schedule is essential for a fully custom garment and, unfortunately, we cannot shorten it.\n\nWe appreciate you sharing your target price of \u00a310\u201312.\n\nGiven the timeline constraint, I agree that we might be better aligned for a future collection when your production schedule allows for this 5-month window.
