A place\nwhere travelers, dreamers and explorers pass between two shores, carrying\nstories, ambitions and new perspectives.\n\nThis unique geography became the foundation of our identity.\n\nBecause MALABATA is more than a destination.\n\nIt is a symbol of movement.\n\nA symbol of possibility.\n\nA symbol of discovery.\n\nA place where horizons expand.\n\nA place where cultures meet.\n\nA place where dreams begin their journey.\n\nOur universe is built around the idea that the greatest journeys begin long\nbefore boarding a plane or crossing the sea.\n\n*Every journey begins with a dream.*\n\nEach collection is designed as a chapter of that journey, inspired by\nmovement, discovery and the courage to pursue one's aspirations. Through\ncraftsmanship, materials and design, MALABATA seeks to transform garments\ninto gateways to new horizons.\n\nBecause we believe luxury should not only be worn.\n\n*It should make people dream.*\n\nTo bring this vision to life, choosing the right manufacturing partner\nbecame one of the most important decisions of the project.\n\nAs I began searching for that partner, one country consistently stood out.\n\n*Portugal.*\n\nNot because it is competitive.\n\nNot because it is convenient.\n\nBut because Portugal has earned something far more valuable:\n\n*The respect of the global luxury industry.*\n\nThe world's most demanding brands trust Portuguese manufacturers because\nthey understand that craftsmanship cannot be rushed.\n\nBehind every exceptional garment stands an exceptional artisan.\n\nAnd behind every exceptional artisan stands an exceptional atelier.\n\n*We believe great luxury garments are born when creative vision meets\nmanufacturing excellence.*\n\nAnd this is precisely where MALABATA's philosophy begins.\n\nAt MALABATA, we do not see Portuguese artisans as suppliers.\n\nWe see them as co-creators.\n\nThe hands that develop the patterns.\n\nThe technicians who perfect the fit.\n\nThe craftsmen who execute every stitch.\n\nThe people who transform sketches, fabrics and trims into garments with\ncharacter, identity and lasting value.\n\n*They are not a cost within the project.*\n\n*They are the project.*\n\nThat is why I am looking for a manufacturing partner willing to look beyond\na first order of 250 garments.\n\nA partner able to recognize the potential of a young luxury house at the\nvery beginning of its journey.\n\nI am prepared to invest heavily in this relationship.\n\nIn trust.\n\nIn loyalty.\n\nIn growth.\n\nIn long-term collaboration.\n\nBecause if MALABATA succeeds, I want the ateliers who believed in us from\nday one to grow alongside us.\n\nWhile this first chapter is intentionally limited to 250 garments, our\nambition extends far beyond a single season.\n\n*We are building the foundations of a long-term luxury house.*\n\nThe greatest luxury houses were never built by designers alone.\n\nThey were built through decades of collaboration between visionaries and\nartisans.\n\nThat is exactly the type of relationship I hope to create.\n\n*Today, we write the first chapter.*\n\n*Tomorrow, we aspire to write many more.*\n\n*With the ambition of building a luxury house with a distinctive voice and\nan enduring legacy.*\n\nIf our values resonate with yours, I would be honored to share our creative\ndirection, technical packs and product development roadmap.\n\n*I would be delighted to welcome you into our world.*\n\nA world where dreams become destinations.\n\nWhere travel becomes inspiration.\n\nWhere craftsmanship gives life to ideas.\n\nPerhaps this is only a first conversation.\n\nOr perhaps it is the beginning of a remarkable journey between two shores.\n\nI look forward to hearing from you.\n\n\nWarm regards,\n\n\n*Redwan Boukamir*\nFounder & Creative Director\n[image: image.png]\n\n\n*From Malabata, with love.*\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided attached files (image_6a9e8ee277ed8.png).

Our priority is not to develop the products at the\nlowest possible cost, but rather to create a collection that meets the\nhighest standards in terms of materials, craftsmanship, manufacturing\nquality, and finishing details.\n\nMALABATA is aimed at a clientele that values craftsmanship, authenticity,\nand excellence in detail. We are therefore primarily seeking a partner\ncapable of translating this vision into the final product.\n\nIn terms of timing, we are targeting *delivery of the collection in\nSpring-Summer 2027*, we need to receive the garments by the end of *March\n2027*. However, we remain open to the technical recommendations of our\nmanufacturing partners, as the quality of the final product remains our\nhighest priority.\n\nWe would greatly appreciate receiving your technical recommendations and\nbudget estimates based on the information already provided. After reviewing\nthe various proposals received, MALABATA's management team will conduct a\ncomprehensive evaluation and select the partner best aligned with the\nbrand's objectives.\n\nThis decision will take into account the quality of the products proposed,\nthe manufacturer's ability to meet MALABATA's product development and\nproduction requirements, as well as the overall financial consistency of\nthe offer.\n\nWhile excellence in the final product and fidelity to the brand's vision\nremain our primary considerations, pricing is naturally still an important\nfactor in the selection process. Our goal is therefore not to identify the\nlowest-cost offer, but rather the proposal that delivers the best balance\nbetween quality, technical expertise, product development capabilities, and\neconomic viability.\n\nPlease do not hesitate to contact me should you require any additional\ninformation. I would be delighted to discuss the technical aspects of the\ncollection in greater detail.\n\nKind regards,\n\n*Redwan Boukamir*\nFounder\n*MALABATA*\n\nLe lun. 7 sept. 2026 \u00e0 12:16, Matilde Azevedo  a\n\u00e9crit :\n\n> Hello Redwan,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out and sharing the inspiring vision behind\n> MALABATA.
