The airplane life vests are:\n\n   -\n\n   cleaned\n   -\n\n   cut into panels\n\nI have already developed a small material prototype to test stitching and\nhandling.\n\nWhat I=E2=80=99m looking for:\n\n   -\n\n   Feedback on feasibility\n   -\n\n   Development of a first prototype\n   -\n\n   Possibilities for small-scale production after sampling\n\nI would love to know if this is something your team would be open to\nworking on.\nBest regards,\n\nFrank Sturm\n\nAardigspul\nVan Kinsbergenstraat 101A\n2518 GX Den Haag\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided attached files (Aardigspul_shopping_bag_69dfa91ed634e.pdf).

It's a very creative concept to use recycled airplane life vests, and our team is always interested in innovative sustainable projects.\n\nTo get a better sense of the project's scope, I was wondering if you could share a few more details. Do you have a website for your brand, Aardigspul? It would also be helpful to know what production quantity you are considering after the prototype is approved; for accessories like bags, our minimum is typically 100 units per style. Finally, could you let me know your desired delivery date for the production run and your target production price for the bag?\n\nOnce I have a clearer picture of these aspects, I can provide a more complete analysis.",

I really\nappreciate your openness to working with innovative and sustainable\nconcepts.\n\nAt this stage, Aardigspul is a new brand currently in development, so I do\nnot yet have a website. I am in the process of building the brand identity\nand product line, starting with this first bag model.\n\nRegarding production quantity:\nAfter the prototype phase, I am initially considering a small production\nrun of approximately 100 to 150 units per style, depending on feasibility,\ncost, and final quality. I would like to start carefully and scale\nproduction step by step.\n\nDesired delivery timing:\nMy current goal would be to complete the prototype development in the\ncoming months, with a potential first production run later this year or\nearly next year. I am flexible on timing and open to your recommendations\nbased on production planning.\n\nTarget production price:\nAt this stage, I am still exploring realistic production costs and\nmaterials. My intention is to position the product in a premium segment, so\nquality and durability are very important. I would greatly value your\nguidance on what a realistic production price range might be for this type\nof bag.\n\nI will be supplying the life vest material myself, already cleaned and\nprepared in panels, which I hope will help simplify the production process.\n\nPlease let me know if there are any additional technical details or\nmeasurements you would need from my side.\n\nThank you again for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing\nyour thoughts.\n\nBest regards,\n\nFrank Sturm\n\nAardigspul\n\nVan Kinsbergenstraat 101A\n\n2518 GX Den Haag\n\n\n\n\nOn Wed, 15 Apr 2026 at 17:05, Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Frank,\n>\n> Thank you for getting in touch and for sharing your project files.

This applies to both the development and the full production stages.\n*   **Shipping:** All our projects are shipped Ex-Works, which means the client is responsible for arranging and paying for shipping and insurance from our facility.\n*   **Adjustments:** Any adjustments to the design can only be made after the final order has been placed.\n\nDo you agree to proceed under these terms?",
