Timeline:* Our priority is to receive the *first set of samples within\n2-3 weeks* for quality and fit approval. Following the sample approval, we\nare looking for a production lead time of approximately *8-10 weeks*. We\nare aiming for the collection to be ready for shipment by *mid-June 2026*.\n\n*2. Target Price:* Regarding the target price, *our primary focus for\nVATORAN is uncompromised quality.* Since we are positioning ourselves in\nthe luxury segment with specific requirements (Giza Cotton, high GSM, and\nspecialized finishing), we prefer not to set a fixed target price at this\nstage.\n\nInstead, we would like to receive *your best quotation* based on the\nhigh-end specifications provided in our Tech Pack. We are looking for the\nsuperior craftsmanship that Portuguese factories are known for, and we\nbelieve the price should reflect that level of excellence and durability.\n\nOnce we review your initial quote and evaluate the material quality, we can\ndiscuss the long-term pricing structure as our partnership scales.\n\nWe look forward to the technical team\u2019s feedback.\n\n*Best regards,*\n\n*Fawaz Almelabe*\n\n\n\n\n\n\u202b\u0641\u064a \u0627\u0644\u062e\u0645\u064a\u0633\u060c 12 \u0645\u0627\u0631\u0633 2026 \u0641\u064a 3:25 \u0645 \u062a\u0645\u062a \u0643\u062a\u0627\u0628\u0629 \u0645\u0627 \u064a\u0644\u064a \u0628\u0648\u0627\u0633\u0637\u0629 \u202aMatilde\nAzevedo\u202c\u200f :\u202c\n\n> Hello Fawaz,\n>\n> Thank you for sending the technical pack and for confirming the\n> quantities.

            "content": "Hello Fawaz,\n\nThank you for your reply. I appreciate you emphasizing the importance of quality for VATORAN; this aligns perfectly with the high standards of craftsmanship we pride ourselves on.\n\nI have noted your comments on timeline and pricing. To ensure we can achieve the uncompromised quality you are looking for, especially with premium materials like Giza Cotton, our process requires a dedicated period for careful sourcing, sampling, and production. Realistically, our sampling stage takes 6-8 weeks, followed by a production lead time of 10-14 weeks. This places the earliest feasible delivery around September 2026, also taking into account the industry-wide factory closures in August. A rushed schedule would not allow for the level of excellence your brand requires.\n\nRegarding the price, I understand your perspective completely. However, providing our technical team with a target price is a necessary step for them to begin their analysis. It allows them to source the correct tier of materials and select the appropriate partners to match the luxury positioning of your brand. It is not a final commitment, but rather a starting point for them to build an accurate quotation.\n\nCould you please provide an estimated production price per style for the bathrobe and the towel sets?
