235 face masks

The idea from Jyotsna from Esher:

I would like an estimate for 100 Face masks like the one that Archana from Germany had ordered: https://www.urbanchangelab.com/masks/
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

I really love the masks. The materials used are so good and the finishing is perfect.
Very comfortable to wear and my friends love them.

Hey Jyotsna,
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
Brigid Momanyi 22 Jun 2020 9:47 pm
Looking forward to your positive response and working together.

Jyotsna 01 Jul 2020 12:25 pm
Would you be able to send the masks to a contact I have in Nairobi and they can then send the goods. I maybe able to save some money on the shipping costs. Also Is it feasible to share me with me what sort of patterns would you be obtaining.

Thanks

Brigid Momanyi 01 Jul 2020 3:03 pm
Thank you for your response. I have shared some prints that I have in store. Yes I can deliver within Nairobi once I am through with production
Jyotsna 02 Jul 2020 12:17 pm
I loved some of the blue and purple prints that you had done for Archana. Do you have any like those. Once I place an order how do I pay for it and also how long does it take to produce.

Thanks so much for your help.

Brigid Momanyi 02 Jul 2020 10:28 pm
I wouldn't guarantee I can find the exact fabrics in the market as they usually change but I will check. Once we are decided on the prints and all information required to start the system will direct you on how to carry on with the payment process. From the day of approval, it would take me 3days to produce the masks.

Jyotsna 08 Jul 2020 1:51 pm
Will you be able to send me any more prints.
Could you please let me know ? Or do I have to decide on the above prints. Thanks a lot.

Brigid Momanyi 13 Jul 2020 10:54 pm
Hey Jyotsna, I have a couple of pictures of more fabric that I took from the market. Guess I could share them with you then we could pick it up from there.
Jyotsna 14 Jul 2020 9:34 pm
Hi Brigid

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.

Brigid Momanyi 17 Jul 2020 10:11 pm
Thank you for your much anticipated response.
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.
Jyotsna 20 Jul 2020 12:51 pm
I have crossed out the fabrics that I donot want with a red line and so there are only 6 pieces left.

Could you please also include the shipment price to UK in your quote.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Brigid Momanyi 22 Jul 2020 4:44 pm
Thank you for the feedback. I have all the information I need to start. Shipping to the UK would roughly cost 100 euros.

Brigid Momanyi 20 Aug 2020 10:04 pm
With regards to the other masks from the remaining fabric apart from tailoring you will still have to pay for the other inputs that go into the masks which are the interlining elastic and related costs

With regards to the other masks from the remaining fabric apart from tailoring you will still have to pay for the other inputs that go into the masks which are the interlining elastic and related costs. The cost will be 150 each for the rest

With regards to the other masks from the remaining fabric apart from tailoring you will still have to pay for the other inputs that go into the masks which are the interlining elastic and related costs. The cost will be 150 each for the rest. The remaining fabric could comfortably give about more masks thus the total extra cost coming to about 5250
Jyotsna 21 Aug 2020 4:55 pm
I agree to the cost. Please go ahead. Thanks
Brigid Momanyi 22 Aug 2020 10:05 am
Thank you for the go ahead.
Jyotsna 22 Aug 2020 5:13 pm
Thanks.
Brigid Momanyi 23 Aug 2020 5:09 pm
The masks are ready. I have attached a photo of the same.
Jyotsna 25 Aug 2020 10:42 pm
The masks look lovely. When will you ship them? Do I need to do anything? Thanks
Brigid Momanyi 26 Aug 2020 9:48 am
