Hi Guys,

How much would one cost and till when can they be delivered?

The Journey of Creating 100 face masks
Negotiation & Planning
Artisan's Proposals
Cost listed is for one mask. The mask is on three layers and has a pocket where one can insert a filter
Hey Archana, thank you for making this request. I would love to make an offer with regards your request.
The material of choice is cotton Ankara which will be in two layers and one layer of plain cotton in between the two Ankara pieces to act as the cushion for the filter.
Price listed is for one mask.
Additionally, I have attached some photos to enable you have a view of the anticipated final product structure
Really looking forward to your positive response.
Dear Brigid,
yes the modell that you are wearing that is exactly what I am looking for. Cotton is superb, then I can wash them at 60degrees. I cannot see the price. I would like to order 100 pieces because I will be using them for my psychotherapeutic practice for me and my patients.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes,
Archana
Hey Archana,
Thank you for the positive feedback. I have readjusted the pricing for 100 pieces. Price is in Euros.
Looking forward to your response.
Dear Brigid, sounds great. I would love if you take up the project for me.
The price is not at all ok for me. Please change cost of labour to a minimum of 2,00€ (two euro) instead of 0,45 cent.
I hope we can agree on that.
Best wishes,
Archana
That was an initial price for only mask. I later readjusted the price when you confirmed about 100 pieces. Please do let me know so that I may start the realization
Kindly do get back to me
Hey Archana. I have done the price readjustments for the masks putting into play the quantity ordered.
Price quoted is in my currency which is essentially kshs.
Total price for all masks before shipping charges and taxes should amount to 10000 kshs roughly 100 euros.
Patiently waiting on your response
