The project for your luxury women's golfwear brand sounds very interesting, and the high-quality cotton piqu\u00e9 you describe is certainly within our area of expertise.\n\nTo provide you with an accurate analysis for your collection, I will need a few more details. To start, could you let me know which country you are based in?\n\nRegarding the designs themselves, do you have a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample that you can send to us? This is essential for our technical team to understand the specific, elevated construction you require.\n\nYou asked about our minimums and lead times, and I can give you our standard figures. We typically require a minimum of 200-300 units per style. The entire process, from initial sampling to final production, takes approximately five months. This timeline allows us to uphold the meticulous quality standards that are a hallmark of Portuguese textile production.\n\nJust to get a better sense of things, could you also share your target production price per style?\n\nOnce I have these details, I can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps.",

Once the sample is completed, would it be possible for your team to work from a physical sample, or would you require a tech pack as well?\n\nThank you also for sharing your minimum order quantities and lead times, this is very helpful.\n\nIn terms of target production price, we are aiming for approximately \u00a330\u2013\u00a370 per polo, depending on fabric and construction, as the retail price is expected to sit between \u00a3100\u2013\u00a3200.\n\nI would be very happy to share further design details once the prototype is ready.\n\nMany thanks,\nOrlaOn 31 Mar 2026, at 14:32, Matilde Azevedo <info@portugaltextile.com> wrote:\ufeffHello Orla,\n\nThank you for contacting us.
