At the moment, I do not have the final Tech Pack ready, as it is currently under development.\n  2.  My initial production plan is approximately 300 pieces across 3 different styles.\n  3.  Regarding the target price, I would ideally like to stay within a manufacturing cost of around USD 30\u201360 per piece, depending on the fabric, construction, and finishing.\n\nBefore moving forward, I would like to see the quality of your work. If you have an in-house designer, I would be very interested in seeing a complete board short concept created by your team.\n\nMy brand is focused on a premium and timeless aesthetic. I generally prefer elegant patterns and textures rather than graphic illustrations or large printed artwork.\n\nIf I am satisfied with the quality and design direction, I will then finalize the Tech Pack and proceed with sample development.\n\nI look forward to hearing from you.\n\nBest regards,\n\nKhaled\n\nSent from my iPhone",
