I=E2=80=99ve at=\ntached\nan initial reference\/sketch to give you an idea of the design and\nexpression we are looking for.\n\nFor the material, we would like your recommendation. Our starting point is:\n\n   - Heavyweight *350=E2=80=93400 gsm canvas*\n   - Preferably *GRS recycled cotton* or a recycled cotton blend\n   - Alternatively GOTS organic cotton\n   - Natural, matte and substantial hand feel\n   - Durable and suitable for everyday heavy use\n   - Preferably PFAS-free\n   - Water-repellent finish would be a plus, but is not essential\n   - Heavy cotton or recycled cotton webbing for the handles\n\nWe initially considered premium waxed canvas, but have decided that we\nwould rather achieve the *look and durability of traditional canvas through\na more cost-efficient and responsible material*.\n\nThe product should feel premium and considered, rather than like a\npromotional tote bag.\n\nOur initial *target price is approximately =E2=82=AC15 EXW at 1,000 pcs*, d=\nepending\non the final construction and material. We would therefore really\nappreciate your input on how we can optimize the construction and material\nto reach this target without compromising too much on quality.\n\nCould you please let us know:\n\n   - If this product is suitable for your production\n   - Your MOQ for a fully custom design\n   - Indicative pricing at *250 \/ 500 \/ 1,000 pcs*\n   - Which recycled\/organic canvas qualities you would recommend\n   - Available material certifications\n   - Sample\/development cost\n   - Sample lead time\n   - Production lead time\n   - Whether you can support us with construction and material optimization\n   based on our sketches\n\nIf this looks like a good fit for your factory, we can send more detailed\ndrawings and dimensions for the next step.\n\nLooking forward to hearing from you.\n[image: KAOS_Canvas_Bag.png]\nReference:\n[image: Skjermbilde 2026-09-01 kl. 20.26.16.png]\n\n\n\nBr\n\nMette Bordal Hansen\n\nCEO \/ Co-Founder\n\n\nT: +47 90596130\n\nE: mette@itskaos.com\nwww.itskaos.com\n\n\n\n--------------------------------------\n\nKAOS | Ivan Bj=C3=B8rndalsgate 32\n0472 Oslo\nNorway\n\nMva: 912 573 362\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided general web links (www.itskaos.com).

            "content": "Hi,\n\nThank you for getting back to me.\n\nHappy to provide some more context, as I think it may be relevant when\nassessing the potential of the project.\n\nKAOS is a Norwegian design brand in strong growth, currently selling across\nScandinavia, the UK and several international markets. We have already sold\nmore than 25,000 bags from our existing collection, and we are now looking\nto expand this category with a new range of functional bags and organizers\nfor family life.\n\nAn important part of this project is also finding the right long-term\nmanufacturing partner in Europe. We currently manufacture products both in\nEurope and Asia, but for this category we see a real advantage in European\nproduction \u2013 particularly shorter lead times, the possibility to work with\nsmaller and more frequent production runs, and closer product development.\n\nRegarding your questions:\n\n1. Tech Pack \/ Sample\nWe are currently at the concept stage, so we don't have a physical sample\nyet. We have initial 2D drawings and visual references, which I can send\nyou. If we see that the project and target pricing are realistic for both\nsides, we would like to move into technical development and sampling\ntogether with the manufacturer.\n\n2. Quantities\n1,000 pcs is intended as a starting point rather than the total potential\nvolume.\n\nWe expect to develop the bag in several colours, and if the product\nperforms as expected, we see potential for significantly higher annual\nvolumes and repeat orders.\n\nWe are also planning to develop a small family of products using the same\nmaterial, colours and design language, potentially including:\n\n   - Pouches in different sizes\n   - Stroller organizer\n   - Weekend \/ travel bag\n   - Other storage and organization products\n\nIdeally, we would like to find one manufacturing partner who can grow this\ncategory together with us.\n\n3. Delivery\nWe are currently planning the collection, so there is some flexibility on\nthe first delivery. More important for us at this stage is understanding\nyour sampling and production lead times and what would be realistic for a\nfirst production.\n\n4. Target price\n\u20ac15 EXW at 1,000 pcs is our initial target rather than an absolute limit.\nWe understand that the final price will depend on the construction and\nmaterial.\n\nWe do have some flexibility, but it is important that we develop the\nproduct with a commercially viable price from the beginning, as we intend\nto sell both DTC and through retail partners.\n\nWe would therefore be very interested in your recommendations for\nconstruction and sustainable canvas qualities that could bring us as close\nas possible to this target.\n\nOur ambition is not simply to source one bag, but to find a European\npartner for a larger bag and organization collection, provided we can find\nthe right balance between quality, sustainability, price and lead time.\n\nAll the best\n\n\nMette Bordal Hansen\n\nCEO \/ Co-Founder\n\n\nT: +47 90596130\n\nE: mette@itskaos.com\nwww.itskaos.com\n\n\n\n--------------------------------------\n\nKAOS | Ivan Bj\u00f8rndalsgate 32\n0472 Oslo\nNorway\n\nMva: 912 573 362\n\n\n\n\nons. 2. sep. 2026 kl. 09:05 skrev Matilde Azevedo :\n\n> Hello Mette,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out and providing details about your project with\n> KAOS.

Please find attached our initial 2D drawing for the *KAOS\nCarry-All Bag*.\n\nAs mentioned, this is still at concept stage and should not be considered a\nfinalized Tech Pack. The drawing is intended to communicate the overall\nproportions, construction and functionality we are looking for.\n\nThe current starting dimensions are approximately W55 =C3=97 H38 =C3=97 D22=\n cm. We\nwant the bag to have a slightly oversized, relaxed carry-all expression,\nwhile still being practical enough to use with a stroller.\n\nSome key points:\n\n   - Large exterior pockets, as shown in the drawing\n   - One open main compartment =E2=80=93 no internal pockets, as we plan to=\n develop\n   separate KAOS Pouches for organization\n   - 45 or 50 mm webbing handles, long enough for comfortable shoulder carr=\ny\n   - Webbing or canvas attachment straps on both sides for attaching the\n   bag to a stroller\n   - Reinforced\/structured bottom with the triangular corner construction\n   shown\n   - Heavy 350=E2=80=93400 gsm canvas, preferably recycled or organic cotto=\nn\n   - Natural, matte and substantial hand feel\n   - Top closure: zipper preferred, but we are open to a simpler\n   snap-button closure if this helps reduce production cost and simplify\n   construction\n\nWe are very open to your technical team's recommendations on construction\nand cost optimization.
