Custom Silk Scarves
Custom silk scarves are ordered to a buyer's own brief. This page sets out the inquiry shape for a custom brief: design requirements, an item list, and quantities.
What a custom brief carries
A custom brief carries the design requirements in the buyer's own words, the item list, and the quantities beside each item. The design requirements belong beside the items they belong to, so each item on the list reads with its own requirements attached. A brief with the requirements in one place and the items in another makes the questions harder to place.
Buyers often arrive with a design direction already settled and an item list still taking shape, or the other way round. Either order works for the inquiry, as long as the finished message carries both: the design requirements and the item list, with quantities beside each item and the destination market for the list as a whole.
Writing the design requirements
Write the design requirements as a plain description of what the buyer has in mind: the direction, the elements that matter, and anything to settle in writing. Name the colour, shape and size requirements in the same message, beside the items they belong to, and ask what applies to each item. This site publishes no claim about any design method, and the inquiry should not assume one.
Reference material belongs in the same message as the brief, described in words. Name each reference item, note what it illustrates, and keep it beside the item it belongs to. The custom scarf guide page sets out the same questions in guide form.
From brief to item list
Turn the brief into an item list before sending: one line per item, the quantity beside each line, and the design requirements beside the lines they belong to. Add the destination market for the list as a whole, and anything to settle in writing beside the items it belongs to. The custom scarf design page gives the same inquiry shape for design-led lists.
