The idea from Jyotsna from Esher:
I am based in United Kingdom and am originally from Kenya. Currently I am working on my website to sell brass jewellery from Kenya and this would be a great addition. I am inspired by the African prints.
Archana's masks cost her 294 euros (all in incl. Tax and Shipping). I would be grateful if you could like me know what the cost would be be sourcing 100 masks would be?
Kind Regards
Jyotsna

The story of the 235 face masks:
Negotiation phase
I would really love to realize your idea on the masks. Unfortunately, I may not be able to realize the masks at the same prize. Reason being in Archanas case I used 100 per cent recycled fabrics from leftover fabric in my shop which I no longer have. I would therefore have to incur extra costs in sourcing for the fabrics needed to realize the masks.
I shall however really try to give you the best possible price on the same

Looking forward to your response and please don't hesitate in case of any questions.
Thanks
Thanks so much for your help.
Could you please let me know ? Or do I have to decide on the above prints. Thanks a lot.
I have picked 7 pieces and would like to have 200 masks. Please let me know what is the best price you will be able to do for me. Once agreed I will also give you the address in Nairobi where it needs to be delivered .
Thanks a lot
Hope to hear from you soon.
I would love to realize the request at a discounted price of 200 Kenya shillings. Also, 6 fabrics would be enough as opposed to seven. Kindly share the fabrics chosen as well out of the bunch so that I may have a clear understanding of the same.
Could you please also include the shipment price to UK in your quote.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Production phase
Thanks
The first one I can only hear then sound and the second one states " not found error 404".
Once you confirm, the masks will be shipped.
