Project Agreement Flow

Questions via our contact form and other communication with us before development begins do not require a formal agreement and are free of charge. (However, we do charge for preparing samples.)

【Order Preproduction Sample】
After concluding a non-disclosure agreement, we consult with the designer to work out the sample design, quantity, delivery date, and other details. Sample production charges vary depending on the requirements. While consultations about samples generally take place in Kyoto, Japan where we are based, we can accommodate customers in remote locations, such as customers overseas, who prefer to communicate online, but in this case separate charges apply. A written estimate is prepared for each project.
Sample production fees are generally from 200,000 to 500,000 yen.
Once you have approved the details of the written estimate, please process payment equivalent to the full amount of the written estimate.
Overseas customers can pay by PayPal.
Once we have received payment,
we start preparing the sample.

【Order Actual Production】
If you are satisfied with the sample, we enter consultation about starting actual production of the fabric.
Production can start from a minimum length of 50 meters (164 ft).
A new agreement is signed for manufacturing the textile, and we discuss design, weaving length, delivery date, and other details. Charges vary depending on requirements.
While consultations about fabric production generally take place in Kyoto, Japan where we are based, we can accommodate customers in remote locations, such as customers overseas, who prefer to communicate online, but in this case separate charges apply. A written estimate is prepared for each project.
Manufacturing cost (rough indication): A 1 meter–wide weave costs US$200–400 per meter (length). (1 meter is approximately 3.3 feet.)
(Minimum length is 50-meters (164 ft). Price varies depending on the length ordered.)

Upon approving the written estimate, please pay an advance deposit equivalent to half the written estimate.
Production begins once payment has been received. The remaining half of the payment is made after finish of production and delivery of the fabric.

If you want to discuss something contained in the agreement in greater detail, please contact us before production begins.
