            "content": "Dear Team,\n\nI am developing BCLT, a new women=E2=80=99s underwear brand based in France=\n, with a\nplanned launch in January 2027.\n\nWe are looking for a manufacturing partner in Portugal to develop two\nproducts:\n\n   - Women=E2=80=99s boxer briefs: black, fitted boxer briefs with an appro=\nximately\n   7.6 cm inseam as an initial reference; no vertical side seams and no\n   visible centre-back seam; a black waistband with a white BCLT logo; a so=\nft,\n   non-absorbent floating inner gusset designed to accommodate the wings of=\n a\n   conventional sanitary pad; flat, comfortable seams and anti-chafing\n   construction.\n\nWe are looking for a soft, breathable, comfortable and durable fabric\nsuitable for everyday skin contact. We are open to your recommendations\nregarding fabric composition, particularly cotton or modal blends. The\nfabric and construction should also help prevent the boxer legs from riding\nup during movement.\n\n   - Women=E2=80=99s bralette: black, wireless racerback design, soft breat=\nhable\n   fabric, and black elastic band with a white BCLT logo.\n\nWe plan to offer sizes XS to XXL. Our preferred care recommendation is\nmachine washing at 30=C2=B0C, and we would like the garments to withstand\noccasional washing at 40=C2=B0C without significant damage, shrinkage or lo=\nss of\nelasticity, subject to testing.\n\nCould you please confirm whether you can develop and manufacture both\nproducts, including the special inner gusset; your minimum order\nquantities; estimated unit prices for 100, 200 and 300 units per style\n(boxer briefs alone and boxer briefs plus bralettes); prototype and sample\ncosts; available fabrics and certifications; production lead times; and\nestimated shipping costs to France? We are seeking a competitive\nprice-quality balance suitable for a sustainable retail margin.\n\nPlease find attached our BCLT product sheet illustrating our design\ndirection. We would be happy to provide further technical details if this\nproject is within your manufacturing capabilities.\n\nThank you for your time.\n\nKind regards,\n\nBCLT\n\nWomen=E2=80=99s Underwear Brand\n\nBold. Comfort. Light. Tailored.\n\nwearbclt@gmail.com\n\nFrance",

We appreciate your interest in partnering with us for the development and manufacturing of your women's boxer briefs and bralettes.\n\nTo proceed with evaluating the commercial viability of your project, I need to gather some specific details:\n\n1. **Tech Pack or Physical Sample:** Do you have a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample for the boxer briefs and bralettes?\n2. **Quantities:** What is the total quantity you plan to produce per style?

We are looking for a manufacturing partner who\ncan assist with technical development, sampling and fabric selection,\nespecially for the boxer briefs\u2019 non-absorbent floating inner gusset\ndesigned to accommodate sanitary pad wings.\n\nFor our initial launch, we are aiming for a small test production run of\n100, 200 or 300 units per style in black, across sizes XS\u2013XXL. We\nunderstand your stated minimum is 1,000 units per style and colour. Could\nyou please confirm whether any smaller pilot run or sampling-to-small-batch\narrangement is possible? If not, we completely understand.\n\nOur provisional target manufacturing cost for the boxer briefs is around\nEUR 6 per unit, subject to fabric, construction, volume and quotation. We\nwould welcome your guidance on feasibility and a separate indicative cost\nfor the bralette; we have not fixed its target cost yet.\n\nJanuary 2027 is our intended brand launch, not the preferred date for first\ndelivery. Ideally, we would receive approved production stock before\nlaunch, with the precise delivery schedule agreed after prototype\ndevelopment and testing. Please let us know what timeline would be\nrealistic.\n\nWe would be grateful to hear whether this smaller-scale project could fit\nyour production capabilities.\n\nKind regards,\nBCLT\nwearbclt@gmail.com\n\nOn Wed, 21 Oct 2026 16:00:10 +0100, Matilde Azevedo info@portugaltextile.com\nwrote:\n\nHello,\n\nThank you for reaching out to us regarding your new women\u2019s underwear\nbrand, BCLT.

Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate smaller pilot runs or sampling-to-small-batch arrangements below this MOQ.\n\nFor the boxer briefs, your provisional target manufacturing cost of EUR 6 per unit is below our viable threshold for this type of product. Unfortunately, based on the target production price indicated, the project would not be viable for us. We wish you the very best of luck with your project.\n\nIf you have any other questions or need further assistance, please feel free to reach out.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",
