It is our latest range of small unisex accessories.</strong></p><p>If you are interested by other models in our catalogue… you will have to wait, or even better, to support our online selling project!!!</p><p> </p><p>“Aéronef” is designed to recycle <strong>the smallest pieces of straps</strong>: from 19 cm (7 inches) to 66 cm (26 inches). These measurements corresponds to airplane seatbelts –hence the name of the range, meaning flying machine in French!</p><p>Another novelty with this range: <strong>ornementation with our “fancy" version</strong>. Ever-present in Morocco, ornementation naturally fits in our collection, with a tassel and "sfifa" a traditionnal ribbon. If our industrial seatbelt strap and this hand-crafted ribbon are both made of shiny polyester thread, they are processed very differently and create together an unexpected contrast!</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><img alt="Alinfini_aeronef_gamme01-1507739494" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/457472/Alinfini_Aeronef_gamme01-1507739494.jpg"></p><p> </p><p><u>Choose among 8 models</u></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><img alt="Alinfini_choix-1508408988" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/459524/Alinfini_choix-1508408988.jpg"><u> Choose between 2 versions and 3 colours</u></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><u><img alt="Alinfini_etui-1507884772" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/457931/Alinfini_etui-1507884772.jpg"> Add a packaging for gifting</u></p><p> </p><p><strong>Availability:</strong></p><p>- <u>Chrismas 2017</u>: all models in fancy version ordered Sunday 26th the latest, will be available thanks to a pre-production.</p><p>- <u>January 2018 the latest</u>: order any model, simple or fancy, in no limited quantity.</p><p><strong>Delivery: </strong>Transport cost by postal service is offered for any country.</p><p><strong>Material: </strong>All rewards are made of off-cuts from new manufacture, except the first reward which is recycling used airplane seatbelts (washed at 60°!).</p><p><strong>Colours:</strong> Choose between 3 colours for the upper strap: golden beige, garnet red, charcoal grey.</p><p><strong>Versions:</strong> Choose between 2 versions, fancy (with ribbon and a detachable tassel) or simple (-3€).</p><p><strong>Packaging: </strong>Add 2€ to get the reward wrapped in an elegant handcrafted packaging -perfect as a gift!</p><p><strong>Bonus</strong>: above 100€, a key ring recycling used airplane seatbelts is offered.</p><p> </p>

Allocation of funds

<p>Our best asset is design, both craft design and visual communication. We collaborate with great talents for production. To make our brand sustainable, we need to <strong>pursue our commercial development</strong>. Demand for online retail is regular since the launching and we are now ready to give it a try!</p><p><strong>We will propose online a fine and evolving selection</strong>: new models (collection “Latitude”!), new colors (would you like electric orange?), very limited series (why not shoes?) and unique pieces (an even fancier necklace?)</p><p> </p><p><strong>1/5 of the collect will be allocated to the start of the e-selling</strong>.</p><p>Once I receive the total amount of the fund-raising and I deduct the numerous costs (including production of the reward 50%, delivery 15%, KKBB 5%, bank commissions 3%, diverse 7%), I will choose the best setting with the support of a e-selling expert. Depending on how much budget exactly we get, I will:</p><p>- <strong>minimum 2500€:</strong> basic e-selling with a marketplace (i.e. Etsy) from Morocco, with a 3 months operating costs coverage,</p><p>+1500€: independant basic e-shop (i.e. Shopify),</p><p>+2500€ and more: independant advanced e-shop, including a logistics center support in France, with up to 1 year operating cost coverage</p><p> </p><p>Anyway, <strong>the launching schedule is the second half of 2018</strong>.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong>First arrived, first served! </strong> The first subscribers will also give us our best chances to succeed, by drawing attention and stimulating subscriptions. And if the campaign progresses fast, we will launch a third batch mid-November to deliver more subscriptors for Christmas.</p><p>If you like: our philosophy, our ideas, our products, support us... now! Use and offer our accessories! Collaborate with us!
