            "content": "Hello Casper,\n\nThank you for contacting us and sharing the details about CLA-Maison. I appreciate the information provided in your Manufacturer Introduction document.\n\nTo address your inquiries:\n\n1. **Manufacturing Capabilities**: Regarding your specific technical requirements and machinery, I cannot confirm this at my level. I have gathered your project details and will forward them to our technical team. They will analyze your requirements and confirm directly with you if our facilities have the exact capabilities to develop your product.\n\n2. **MOQ per Style and Colour**: Our minimum order quantity for general clothing, including sweaters, is 200\u2013300 units per style, with a minimum of 100 units per color. Unfortunately, the quantity of 50 pieces per color is below our minimum requirement. If you are able to increase your order to meet these minimums, please let me know.\n\n3. **Fabric Availability**: I cannot confirm the availability of specific fabrics like 400\u2013420 GSM brushed 100% cotton at my level. This will be reviewed by our technical team.\n\n4. **Sample Costs and Lead Time**: The cost of a sample depends entirely on the complexity of each specific design. Accurate pricing can only be provided after our technical team analyzes your Tech Pack or Physical Sample and confirms the final quantities. Our typical sampling lead time is 6-8 weeks.\n\n5. **Bulk-Production Lead Time**: Our standard production lead time is 10-14 weeks, starting after order placement. The total cycle, including sampling, is approximately 5 months.\n\nPlease let me know if you are willing to adjust your order quantities to meet our minimums. Once we have confirmation on this, we can proceed with further discussions.\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards.",

As CLA-Maison is preparing its first launch, we would prefer to begin with a controlled production volume in order to carefully assess demand while maintaining our quality standards.\n\nFor this reason, an initial quantity of 200\u2013300 units per style is currently above our intended launch volume.\n\nNevertheless, I would be very interested to remain in contact, as Portugal Textile may become a suitable manufacturing partner once our production volumes increase.\n\nThank you again for reviewing our project and for your time.\n\nKind regards,\nCasper Baltussen\nFounder \u2014 CLA-Maison\n\n> Op 11 jul 2026, om 13:12 heeft Matilde Azevedo  het volgende geschreven:\n> \n> Hello Casper,\n> \n> Thank you for contacting us and sharing the details about CLA-Maison.
