Frequently Asked
Questions
Can you make anything?
Yes, almost! AME’s mission is to craft exceptional products with the best budget and timing. We have built our expertise on a unique selection of handmade items, craftsmen and overseas factory partners, specialized in a wide array of “savoir-faire” allowing us to bring your vision to life.
How much does it cost?
As low as $2 per item for large volumes such as Gift With Purchase (GWP). With over two decades of experience, we understand that each project is unique and often bound by budget. At AME we focus on creating exceptional products for both small and large volumes, keeping the production within budget.
What is the standard lead time from initial concept to delivery?
Standard lead times typically range from 6 to 12 weeks: 2 weeks for design, 2-3 weeks for physical prototyping, and 4-6 weeks for artisan manufacturing and QC.
How long does it take?
From ten days to up to four weeks. We know each project is defined by a specific timeline and some are under short notice. With offices and partners working across the world, our teams work around the clock to guarantee conception, production and delivery on time.
Is it possible to validate a physical prototype before mass production?
Absolutely. Physical prototype approval is mandatory in our process. You will receive an exact pre-production prototype in its final presentation packaging.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for bespoke projects?
Depending on materials and manufacturing techniques, our MOQs range from 50 to 250 units. For bespoke leather goods, production begins at 50 pieces.
How do you guarantee confidentiality for bespoke client designs?
All projects are covered by strict non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). Many commissions remain entirely confidential with no public attribution.
Where are the objects manufactured and what are your sustainability standards?
Over 85% of our productions take place in French and European ateliers holding the Living Heritage Enterprise (EPV) label, using LWG leathers and FSC papers.
Can you handle multi-destination international drop-shipping?
Yes, our logistics team coordinates white-glove customs clearance and direct delivery to multiple corporate offices globally.
