How to Request a Mixed-SKU Ready-Stock Handbag Quote
Send a clear mixed-style stock request with quantities, colour preferences and substitution rules so the quotation matches your selection.

A message asking for some of these bags leaves too much open when several styles and colours are pictured. A mixed-SKU request needs a separate line for each selected combination. This helps the supplier check stock and avoids unwanted assumptions about substitutions or total quantity.
In this guide
Use one line per SKU and colour
Include the website reference and product link, then the colour and requested pieces. Do not use image position alone, such as the second black bag, because layouts can change and several photographs may show the same style. If a colour name is uncertain, identify the view and ask the team to confirm the matching colour before quoting.
Make the total easy to reconcile
Add the requested pieces across all lines and show the expected total. Keep the number of styles separate from the number of bags. For example, two pieces of one SKU and one piece of another means three bags across two styles. This is a formatting example, not a statement that the chosen references are currently available.
State substitution rules
Say whether an alternative colour is acceptable, whether a reduced quantity is acceptable and whether the remaining order should proceed if one line sells out. Do not authorize a general similar style unless you are willing to review it. Ask the supplier to list any proposed alternative separately instead of replacing the original request silently.
Request one confirmed quotation
Provide destination country and postal code and ask for the confirmed available lines, goods total, packing and shipping. Check whether the quote covers one combined dispatch or another arrangement. If availability changes, ask for a revised written list and total. A submitted enquiry does not itself reserve inventory or create a paid order.
Keep stock rules on the request
State that you are buying existing finished items and understand there are no material, colour, logo or design changes. If you also have a custom project, send it separately. Before payment, compare the final quotation line by line with your selection and resolve missing colours, quantities or product references.
Example inquiry
Please check these existing stock items: DK066, preferred colour [confirm], 2 pieces; DK037, preferred colour [confirm], 1 piece. Total requested: 3 pieces. Destination: [country and postal code]. Please confirm each line, shipping and the total. Do not substitute a colour or style without asking. No customization is requested.
Review the original stock references
Existing finished products, no customization. Confirm current colour availability and shipping.
