I=E2=80=99m reaching out to explore the possibility of working tog=\nether on two styles from our upcoming collection.\n\n\n\n1. Sweetheart Paperbag Short Co-ord\n\nA structured two-piece in heavyweight silk jacquard, featuring a boxy crop =\ntop with dolman short sleeves and cuffed rolled hems, paired with high-rise=\n paperbag shorts with a sculptural sweetheart V-dip waistband. Ivory colour=\nway. The fabric must provide sufficient structure to maintain the paperbag =\nsilhouette without collapse.\n\n\n\n2. Sculpted Heritage Co-ord\n\nA two-piece inspired by West African textile traditions, comprising a fitte=\nd sculpted top with a mandarin collar, cupped bust detailing, and three-cow=\nrie button fastenings, paired with a coordinating midi skirt. The preferred=\n fabric is traditional Nigerian Aso Oke, or, where unavailable, a structure=\nd woven alternative such as an ivory and gold brocade or jacquard that achi=\neves a comparable architectural effect.\n\n\n\nWe would be interested in learning more about your fabric sourcing capabili=\nties, your sampling and development process, minimum order quantities, and =\ntypical lead times for garments of this nature.\n\n\n\nIf these styles align with your capabilities, I would be delighted to conti=\nnue the conversation and share further technical specification information.\n\n\n\nRegards,\n\n\nEgoyibo Okoro\n\nFounder, Akwa\n\n\n\nYour design, your story.\nakwa.design\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided attached files (IMG_7979_6a40cdb5a5e9b.jpeg, IMG_7717_6a40cdb5a6016.jpeg, IMG_7809_6a40cdb5a62eb.jpeg).
