Sometimes we can facilitate a larger monthly production rate depending on the specific vendor and their current production availability.  Some products will be subject to seasonal availability due to the rainy season within Indonesia.  We do our best to keep our collections updated monthly with current product availability, but there is a small possibility that some items you choose may not be in production anymore.  In this case, we will try our best to help you select a replacement product.
