What is the difference between the cost for emerging designer membership and the cost for manufacturing?
The cost for membership refers to our membership plan monthly fees (MV Essentials, MV Choice, MV Showroom, or MV Brand Pro). This fee allows our members to use our platform, upload and list their design tech packs, receive bids from our Italian factories, have a dedicated account manager and their manufacturing guidance during sampling and production.
The cost for membership does not include the cost for manufacturing your sample, producing your order, or shipping. These costs fall outside the service included in your membership plan and will need to be paid in order to move forward in sampling, production, or shipping to cover the cost of raw materials, cut and sew labor, and shipping.
MakesValley offers an interest-free 4-installment payment option for sampling and shipping, through Klarna.
