I am developing a small capsule\ninspired by my first runway garment, with the aim of opening selected\npieces to a pre-order sales model in mid-October 2026.\n\nFor accessories, I am looking to develop 1\u20132 bag styles initially. I would\nbe interested in sampling and potentially producing these using artificial\nleathers, deadstock materials, upcycled fabrics, or other responsible\nalternatives, depending on what is technically suitable for the design.\n\nI am able to provide sketches, illustrations, industry-standard technical\nflats, visual references, rough initial samples, and early ideations. I am\nlooking for a partner who can help translate these ideas into refined\nprototypes and production-ready pieces, with a strong focus on quality,\nfinish, material suitability, and responsible production.\n\nAs AES SIDHE develops over the coming years, I am also hoping to build a\ncontinuing supplier relationship with trusted European partners who\nunderstand the brand\u2019s design language and can support future product\ndevelopment.\n\nCould you please let me know whether this type of project would be suitable\nfor your studio? I would be grateful for information on:\n\n   - Your bag development and sampling process\n   - Whether you work from sketches, technical flats, references, and rough\n   samples\n   - Experience with artificial leather, deadstock, upcycled, or\n   alternative materials\n   - Minimum order quantities for small-batch bag production\n   - Typical sample and production lead times\n   - Approximate sample development costs\n   - Ethical production standards or sustainability practices\n   - Availability for development with a mid-October 2026 pre-order target\n\nI would be happy to send a short visual deck with the initial concept,\nreferences, bag ideas, and proposed timeline.\n\nBest wishes,\nAlex Lambe,\nFounder\/ Designer, Aes SIdhe\nIreland Fashion Week 2026 Official Designer\n\n+353 85 755 9796\nInstagram: @alxlambe | @theaessidhe",

            "content": "Hello Matilde,\n\nThank you for your response.\n\nPlease find the initial project details below:\n\n   1. *Brand*\n   The brand is *AES SIDHE*, an emerging Irish fashion brand. I am\n   currently preparing to launch my first capsule collection and will be\n   showcasing at Irish Fashion Week this year. My website is currently under\n   development and will be available soon.\n   Instagram: @theaessidhe\n   2. *Location*\n   I am based in *Ireland*.\n   3. *Product Category*\n   I am looking to develop *1\u20132 design-led bag styles* as part of my first\n   capsule collection. These would be fashion\/accessory pieces inspired by the\n   visual direction of my first runway garment, with the aim of opening them\n   to a pre-order sales model in mid-October 2026.\n\nI am particularly interested in working with *artificial leather, deadstock\nmaterials, upcycled fabrics, or other responsible alternatives*, depending\non what is technically suitable for the design.\n\n   4. *Tech Packs \/ Samples*\n   I am able to provide *sketches, illustrations, industry-standard\n   technical flats, visual references, and rough initial samples \/ mock-ups*\n   .\n\nThe designs are currently in early development, so I would be looking for\nsupport with refining the ideas into professional prototypes and\nproduction-ready pieces. I can prepare and send a short visual deck with\nthe initial concept, references, sketches, and proposed bag directions.\n\n   5. *Quantities*\n   At this stage, I am looking to develop *1\u20132 bag styles*.\n\nFor production, I would like to understand your minimum order quantities\nfirst, as this will help me decide what is feasible for the first capsule\nand pre-order model. The initial production would likely be small, with the\npotential to increase quantities depending on pre-order demand.\n\n   6. *Target Price*\n   I am still finalising the target production price, as this will depend\n   on the design complexity, materials, MOQ, and sample development costs.\n\nAs an emerging designer, I am looking for a balance between high-quality\nconstruction, responsible materials, and feasible production costs. I would\nappreciate your guidance on realistic production pricing once you have\nreviewed the proposed styles and material direction.\n\nI am also hoping to build an ongoing supplier relationship as AES SIDHE\ndevelops over the coming years, so I am particularly interested in\nunderstanding your sampling process, MOQ, lead times, and how you usually\nwork with emerging brands.\n\nPlease let me know if this is enough information for an initial assessment,\nor if you would prefer me to send a visual deck before discussing\nfeasibility and quotation.\n\nBest regards,\n\nAlex Lambe\n\nOn Sat, May 9, 2026 at 7:46\u202fPM Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Alex,\n>\n> Thank you for contacting us.

            "content": "Hello Alex,\n\nThank you for providing the detailed information about your project. It's exciting to see your vision for AES SIDHE and your upcoming capsule collection.\n\nRegarding your inquiry, I need to clarify a few important points:\n\n1. **Minimum Order Quantities**: For bag production, our minimum order quantity is 100 units per style. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate lower quantities, so I would need to confirm if you are willing to produce at least this minimum quantity for your bag styles.\n\n2. **Tech Packs\/Samples**: Since you mentioned you have sketches and illustrations, I would like to know if you can send a Tech Pack or a physical sample to help us better understand your designs. If you can provide a physical sample, we can work from that as well.\n\n3. **Timeline**: Your target for mid-October 2026 is feasible, but please note that our standard production cycle is a minimum of 5 months. This includes sampling and production time, so we would need to ensure that all details are finalized well in advance.\n\n4. **Target Price**: As you finalize your target production price, please keep in mind that accurate pricing can only be provided after our technical team reviews your Tech Pack or physical sample.\n\nOnce I have confirmation on the minimum quantities and the Tech Pack or physical sample, I can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps.\n\nLooking forward to your response!",
