This would exclude VAT, delivery and individual retail packaging.

Regarding the target production price of \u20ac5 per scrunchie, would you have some flexibility to increase your budget per unit for this style? Our internal assessments indicate that this price may be challenging to meet given the quality and materials you are aiming for.\n\nAs for the quantities, our minimum order quantity for accessories is 100 units per style and per colour. Unfortunately, we cannot offer flexibility on this MOQ for the initial launch. Could you confirm if you are able to meet this requirement?\n\nRegarding the Tech Pack, since you do not have one yet, we can work from reference visuals to develop a physical sample for approval before bulk production. Please send the reference visuals when you are ready.\n\nYour desired delivery timeline of March or April 2027 is feasible within our production cycle.\n\nOnce we have clarity on the target price and quantities, we can proceed with the next steps.\n\nBest regards.", "role": "assistant" } ], "client_name": "Mika Limore", "language": "English", "context_type": "textile", "report_sent": false, "history_archive": [], "project_details": { "product": "Pending", "quantity": "Pending", "price": "Pending", "timeline": "Pending", "requests": "None", "brand_name": "Pending", "brand_website": "Not Specified", "country": "UK", "phone": "Pending", "brand_type": "Brand", "client_name": "Mika" }, "last_processed_uid": 123240, "retry_count": 0, "failed_uids": [] }
