I noticed your current focus seems to be leather and sustainable materials like recycled canvas \u2013 wanted to check whether coated\/technical polyester is something your network of workshops could also produce.\n\nQuick product overview: a compact bag, about 30 \u00d7 17 \u00d7 13 cm, made from coated polyester or nylon (PU or TPU coating, glossy finish). Inside, there's a divider separating a smaller and a larger compartment.\n\nTwo quick questions:\n\u2013 What's your minimum order quantity for a product like this?\n\u2013 Could you share a rough price breakdown for, say, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 units? If 50 isn't realistic, happy to hear pricing from your actual minimum upward.\n\nIf there's interest, I'd be happy to send over the full tech pack with all the details in a next step.\n\nBest regards,\nLeonard G\u00f6th",

We can certainly work with coated polyester or nylon materials for your project.\n\nTo proceed, I need to confirm a few details:\n\n1. **Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ):** For bags, our MOQ is 100 units per style and per colour. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate quantities below this threshold.\n\n2. **Pricing:** We do not provide rough price breakdowns at this stage. Accurate pricing depends on the technical specifications, materials, construction, and final quantities. However, I can confirm that we can start discussing pricing from our MOQ of 100 units upward.\n\nIf you have a Tech Pack ready, please feel free to send it over. Additionally, could you please provide your maximum target production price per bag? This will help us evaluate the project alignment before proceeding further.\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards.",

On the target price \u2013 I'd rather not put a number out before I've\nseen where your pricing actually lands, so I don't end up anchoring the\nquote to a guess. If it helps in the meantime, a rough per-unit range for a\nbag like this at 100\u2013250 units would already be useful for planning on my\nside.\n\nTwo more things while I prepare the tech pack:\n\u2013 Since you work with a network of workshops, could you tell me a bit about\nwhich one would likely produce this, and their experience with\ncoated\/technical fabrics specifically (rather than leather)?\n\u2013 What's the usual lead time from confirmed order to delivery for a first\nrun like this, and do you produce a paid sample before the full run?\n\nTalk soon.\n\nBest,\nLeonard G\u00f6th\n\nOn Fri, Sep 04, 2026 05:22 PM, Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Leonard,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your sports and everyday bag\n> brand.
