Editions & Allocation
Finite by material, not by marketing.
A MBALI edition is limited by the hides in the register, not by a number chosen for effect. When the hides that suit a silhouette are spoken for, that silhouette closes until the next are entered.
How allocation works
- 01
You configure a piece and send your request. No account is needed to configure; you sign in only to reserve.
- 02
We confirm in writing which registered hide your piece would be cut from, the measured specification and the dispatch window.
- 03
A deposit of 50% confirms the allocation and opens the bench. Ten to sixteen weeks from confirmation.
We do not publish an annual production cap. Editions are governed by the register, and a number will only appear here once it can be evidenced piece by piece.
