The weekend bag is actually an existing model in our collection, which we would now like to develop in a new fabric (some sort of cotton canvas).\nThe product is not fully finalised yet, but I can already share a reference image of the weekend bag to give you a clear idea of the design.\n\n\n\nIn terms of materials, we are looking at:\n* cotton canvas (approx. 350–450 gsm)* cotton handles* a soft but structured finish\nCould you please share:\n* your MOQ* sampling options and lead times* production lead times* experience with similar products* personalisation possibilities (e.g. embroidery\/private label)* your general way of working\nIf relevant, I would be happy to send more details and visuals. \nThank you in advance, and I look forward to your reply.\nKind regards,CamilleCamille & Bardot\n-- \n \n \n \n\n \nwww.camilleandbardot.com \n \nFollow us on Instagram\nFollow us on Facebook\n \n \n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided attached files (ef5c8255_69cd228a9e183.png, 24d75b6a_69cd228a9e65f.png, 5f25b606_69cd228aa29d3.jpeg).

            "content": "Hello Camille,\n\nThank you for contacting us. It's a pleasure to hear about your brand, Camille & Bardot, and the new collection of canvas bags you are developing. I appreciate you sending the images; they give us a very clear idea of the weekend bag design.\n\nTo give you the most accurate information, I'd like to share some of our standard practices. Our minimum order quantity for accessories like bags is 100 units per style and per color. With that in mind, could you let me know what quantities you are planning for each of the three styles?\n\nRegarding the timeline, our full process from sampling to final production typically takes around five months to ensure the high standards of quality for which Portuguese manufacturing is known. This includes a 6-8 week sampling stage and a 10-14 week production run. We also have our main factory holiday closure during August which can influence delivery schedules. I was wondering, what is your desired delivery date for this collection?\n\nYou also asked about personalization. We can certainly manage embroidery, which has an initial setup cost. Please note that all labels or hangtags would need to be provided by you, as we do not produce them.\n\nFinally, so our technical team can make a proper analysis, could you please share your target production price for each style separately?\n\nOnce I have these details, I can better assess your project.",

            "content": "Hi,\n\nThank you for your very quick & detailed reply :-).\n\nAt this stage, we are still in the early development phase of this \ncollection, so quantities are not fully fixed yet. However, to give you \nan initial idea, we are considering starting with approximately:\n\n* Small Weekend bag: 100-150 units per colour\n\n* Large Weekend bag: 100-150 units per colour\n* Toiletry bag: 100 units per colour\n* Backpack: 100 units per colour\n\nWe prefer to start with relatively controlled quantities for a first \nproduction run, with the intention to scale up quickly if the products \nperform well.\n\nIn terms of timing, we would ideally like to receive the products by \nOctober at the latest, so we can launch them (on our webshop) in time \nfor the autumn season. I understand your standard timeline, so I would \nlove to hear your view on whether this timing could still be feasible, \nor how we could best align on this.\n\nRegarding pricing, we are still refining the product and materials, so \nwe do not have a fixed target price yet. It would be very helpful for us \nto first understand your indicative pricing based on similar projects or \nspecifications, so we can align expectations accordingly.\n\nI also have a few additional questions to better understand your way of \nworking:\n\n* Do you source the cotton canvas fabric, and could you share available \nqualities (gsm, finishes, colours)?\n* Do you offer support in developing the structure (padding, \nreinforcement, inside pockets, etc.)?\n* Do you assist with packaging elements, or should everything be \nsupplied from our side?\n\nLooking forward to your thoughts.\n\nWarm regards,\nCamille\n\n---\n\nwww.camilleandbardot.com [5]\n\nFollow us on Instagram [6]\nFollow us on Facebook [7]\n\nMatilde Azevedo schreef op 2026-04-01 15:50:\n\n> Hello Camille,\n> \n> Thank you for contacting us.

The quantities you are considering are perfectly in line with our production minimums.\n\nRegarding the timeline, you mentioned an ideal delivery by October. Our standard process, from sourcing and sampling to final manufacturing, takes approximately five months. Factoring in our factory's annual holiday closure in August, the earliest feasible delivery date would be the end of October. I hope this timing can still work for your autumn launch.\n\nTo answer your other questions, our technical team does source the fabrics based on the project's requirements, and they would develop the bag's structure, including padding and pockets, based on the designs you have provided. However, all packaging elements, as well as labels or hangtags, would need to be supplied by you.\n\nThere is just one final detail I need before I can forward your project for a technical analysis. Our team requires a target production price to assess the project. Could you please provide an estimated target price for each of the four bag styles? Even a preliminary figure is essential for them to proceed.",

Based on our initial thinking, and considering relatively \nsimple constructions (limited inner pockets, clean design), we are \ncurrently exploring the following indicative ranges to guide the \ndiscussion:\n\n* Toiletry bag: EUR8-12\n* Small weekend bag: EUR20-24\n* Large weekend bag: EUR24-30\n* Simple backpack: EUR14-20\n\nOur goal is to find the right balance between quality, construction and \npricing, rather than working towards a fixed target price at this stage. \nWe would also really appreciate your feedback on whether these ranges \nare realistic based on your experience.\n\nOf course, we understand that final pricing will depend on material \nchoices (canvas quality, zippers, webbing, lining, finishes, etc.), and \nwe are very open to your guidance here.\n\nIt is important for us to maintain a healthy margin on our side, while \nat the same time ensuring that the project also works well for you from \na pricing perspective, we are really looking to build a sustainable, \nlong-term collaboration.\n\nWe are not necessarily looking for the cheapest option, but rather a \nreliable partner with consistent quality.\n\nTo make this process as efficient as possible, I was wondering if it \nwould be helpful to schedule a short call (or online meeting) to go \nthrough the project together?\n\nI would also be open to visiting you in person if that would help move \nthings forward more smoothly and quickly, or during the sampling \nprocess.\n\nPlease let me know what you would recommend as next steps.\n\nLooking forward to your feedback.\n\nWarm regards,\nCamille\nCamille & Bardot\n\n---\n\nwww.camilleandbardot.com [5]\n\nFollow us on Instagram [6]\nFollow us on Facebook [7]\n\nMatilde Azevedo schreef op 2026-04-01 16:08:\n\n> Hello Camille,\n> \n> Thank you for the clarification.
