            "content": "Hello Matilde,\n\nThank you for your response. I\u2019m glad to hear that you have experience manufacturing children\u2019s swimwear and can work with customer-supplied fabric.\n\nI currently have detailed design mockups, measurements and construction preferences, but I do not yet have completed Tech Packs or physical samples. Several manufacturers I have explored offer in-house pattern development, so I had not finalized Tech Packs yet. However, I can have professional Tech Packs and patterns developed if your production requirements and MOQ structure could be a fit.\n\nThe initial collection currently includes three primary styles:\n\nA long-sleeve zip one-piece for boys\nA long-sleeve rash guard and swim-short set for boys\nA long-sleeve one-piece for girls\nThere may ultimately be separate infant and toddler pattern blocks for certain styles due to diaper accommodation and fit, but the designs would remain the same. I am also planning three prints in total, although not every style would necessarily be offered in every print.\n\nMy anticipated first order is approximately 250\u2013400 garments total across the collection. Could you please clarify whether the MOQ of 250 units per style\/color must be met for each individual print, or whether the 250 units can be divided among multiple prints and sizes within the same style?\n\nRegarding pricing, I am still validating production costs, but my preliminary target for cut-and-sew production is approximately \u20ac12\u2013\u20ac16 per garment, excluding the customer-supplied main fabric. I understand that the final price would depend on the style, trims, lining and construction requirements.\n\nIf the MOQ must be 250 units for every individual style and print combination, the volume may be too high for my initial launch. However, I would be very interested in continuing the conversation if there is flexibility based on the total order quantity.\n\nThank you again, and I look forward to hearing from you!\n\n\n> On Jul 23, 2026, at 12:50\u202fPM, Matilde Azevedo  wrote:\n> \n> Hello Lana,\n> \n> Thank you for reaching out and sharing details about Cuddlefish.

            "content": "Hello Lana,\n\nThank you for providing more details about your collection. I understand that you are still in the process of finalizing your Tech Packs and patterns.\n\nRegarding the MOQ, it is indeed 250 units per style and per color\/print. This means that each style and print combination would need to meet the minimum of 250 units. Unfortunately, we cannot divide the MOQ among multiple prints and sizes within the same style.\n\nGiven your target production price of \u20ac12\u2013\u20ac16 per garment, I recommend considering if you can adjust your order quantities to meet the MOQ requirements. If this is not feasible for your initial launch, I understand, and we would be happy to discuss potential future collaborations when your volumes increase.\n\nPlease let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can assist you with.\n\nBest regards.",
