            "content": "Dear Portugal Shoes Team,\n\nMy name is Deborah Fulcons, and I am currently developing my own French \naccessories brand, Fulcons.\n\nI am looking for a manufacturing partner in Portugal to develop a \ndistinctive premium women's handbag, starting with one prototype and, once \nthe design and quality are validated, moving forward with a small initial \nproduction run.\n\nThe design is original and has a structured, architectural silhouette with \ndistinctive details. One of my priorities is to create a product that can \neventually be recognizable through its shape and design rather than relying \nheavily on visible branding.\n\nI am specifically looking for high-quality alternatives to animal leather, \nwith a refined and luxurious appearance. I would therefore be very \ninterested in learning more about the vegan and plant-based materials you \nare able to source and work with.\n\nBefore sending the complete design and technical details, could you please \nlet me know:\n\n\n*\tWhether you develop fully custom handbags from a client's original design\n*\tThe approximate cost of developing one prototype\n*\tYour minimum order quantity (MOQ)\n*\tApproximate production prices for 20, 50 and 100 units\n*\tWhether you can source premium plant-based or vegan leather alternatives\n*\tWhether custom hardware and specific structural components can be \ndeveloped\n*\tWhether you are able to sign an NDA\/confidentiality agreement before \nreceiving the complete design\n*\tYour approximate prototype and production lead times\n\nI already have experience developing an initial prototype with another \nmanufacturer, so I am now looking for a partner with whom I can build a more \nprecise and long-term production relationship.\n\nMy priority is quality, attention to detail and faithful execution of the \noriginal design.\n\nIf the project is compatible with your manufacturing capabilities, I would \nbe happy to send you the design and further technical information.\n\nThank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.\n\nKind regards,\nDeborah Fulcons\nFounder \u2014 Fulcons",

To provide you with an accurate analysis for your handbag development, I need to gather some specific information:\n\n1. **Tech Pack or Sample**: Do you have a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample of your handbag design that you can share with us?\n2. **Quantities**: What is the total quantity you are considering for production, and how many styles do you intend to create?\n3. **Target Price**: What is your target production price per style?\n\nRegarding your questions:\n\n- We do develop fully custom handbags from a client's original design.\n- The cost of developing a prototype depends entirely on the complexity of the design. We need to evaluate your Tech Pack or physical sample to provide a proper quotation.\n- Our minimum order quantity for accessories like handbags is 100 units per style.\n- We can source premium plant-based or vegan leather alternatives.\n- Custom hardware and specific structural components can be developed.\n- We are happy to sign an NDA before receiving your complete design.\n- Our lead times for prototypes are approximately 6-8 weeks, and production takes about 10-14 weeks after order placement.\n\nOnce I have the above details, I can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps.

Once we have a signed NDA in place, I will be happy to share the full design and technical details with you.\n    \n   \n    Regarding production, I would like to explain my business model. As a new brand, I plan to launch my collection through a pre-order system.\n   \n    \n   Customers will place their orders during a limited pre-order period on my website. Once the campaign ends, I will submit one production order based on the actual quantities sold.\n    \n   Could you please let me know if this way of working is possible with your workshop?\n    \n   \n    I would also like to know whether the MOQ of 100 pieces is required per model, or if different colours of the same model can be combined to reach the total MOQ.\n   \n    \n   \n    For example, would it be possible to produce 25 bags in each of 4 different colours, reaching a total of 100 pieces for the same model?\n   \n    \n   And would it be possible to place a new production order with you after each pre-order campaign?\n    \n   My goal is to build a long-term partnership with a manufacturer who can support the growth of my brand step by step.\n    \n   Thank you again for your time.
