This policy ensures that we maintain the high standards of quality and craftsmanship that our clients expect. Therefore, we cannot accommodate lower MOQs for emerging luxury brands, even with the commitment to future collections.\n\nI understand that launching a new brand can be challenging, and I appreciate your desire to start with a smaller collection. However, we require a minimum of 200 units per style for production.\n\nIf you are still interested in proceeding with these quantities, I would be happy to discuss the next steps, including the Tech Pack or Physical Sample you may have.\n\nLooking forward to your response!",
