Our pieces retail from $120 CAD for lingerie through to $1,200 CAD for outerwear and structured designs. You can find us on Instagram at @maisonmayali. I came across Portugal Textile and was impressed by your expertise in woven garment production, draping, and your ability to work from physical samples. This is particularly relevant to where I am in my production journey. I am currently sourcing a manufacturing partner for our SS26 mini capsule drop of 3 to 6 womenswear pieces, launching the first week of June 2026. The collection spans draped silhouettes, lace constructions, crochet, pointelle knitwear, structured separates, and contemporary womenswear. I have attached our lookbook from our past two runway collections at Toronto Fashion Week so you can see the full range of our aesthetic. I currently have physical samples of my pieces, but do not yet have formal tech packs. I understand you are able to work from physical samples and references, and I would love to confirm whether that is the case and how the process would work. I would also love to understand your MOQs per style, your sampling lead times, and whether this scope is something you can accommodate. Thank you for your time. Looking forward to hearing from you.
