We would greatly appreciate your recommendations regarding fabrics that offer beautiful movement, quality and an elevated feel, while remaining commercially suitable.\n\nLooking forward to hearing from you.\n\nThank you \u263a\ufe0f\n\n\nKind regards,\nLillan Kragner\nFounder, LilBi & Co\nNorway\n\n\n\nSent from Outlook for iOS",

            "content": "Hello Lillan,\n\nThank you for contacting us. It's great to hear about your new brand, LilBi & Co, and the exciting concepts you are developing for mothers and families.\n\nTo provide you with an accurate quotation and analysis for your project, I need the following details:\n\n1. **Designs**: Do you have a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample to send us?\n2. **Quantities**: What is the total quantity and how many styles do you intend to create?\n3. **Timeline**: What is your desired delivery date?\n4. **Target Price**: What is your target production price per style?\n\nRegarding your questions, we typically require a completed Tech Pack to begin developing a prototype\/sample. However, if you have a physical sample, we can work from that as well. \n\nAs for the minimum order quantities (MOQs), for premium occasion dresses, the MOQ is generally 200-300 units per style. \n\nQuality is indeed a priority for us, and we can certainly recommend fabrics that align with your vision for beautiful movement and an elevated feel.\n\nOnce I have the requested details, I can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps.\n\nLooking forward to your response!",

We would of course be open to developing tech packs before moving forward, or alternatively would love to understand whether this is something your team could assist with.\n\nAs we are a new brand, we are initially hoping to test the market with a smaller first production run, likely focusing on 2?3 key dress styles, ideally around 50 units per color for an initial test, if feasible.\n\nWhile our initial focus is a smaller launch collection, we already have several additional concepts in development and are planning to expand the collection further for Spring\/Summer next year. We are therefore very interested in building a long-term manufacturing partnership as the brand grows.\n\nOur goal would be to launch the first dresses ahead of the holiday season, ideally with delivery by late September \/ early October if feasible.\n\nIn terms of pricing, we currently envision a retail price point of approximately ?150?400 depending on the style, fabric and complexity of the design, with simpler summer styles positioned lower and more elevated occasion dresses positioned higher. We would therefore greatly value your recommendations regarding suitable fabrics and finishes.\n\nLooking forward to hearing your thoughts.\n\nKind regards,\nLillan\nFounder, LilBi & Co\nNorway\n\nSent from Outlook for iOS\n________________________________",

It is essential for us to have a completed Tech Pack to proceed with the development of samples and production.\n\nRegarding the quantities, I must inform you that our minimum order quantity (MOQ) for dresses is 200 units per style. Unfortunately, the quantity of 50 units per color is below our MOQ and is non-negotiable. If you are able to increase your order to meet the minimums, we can certainly discuss the next steps.\n\nAs for your desired timeline, I need to calculate the earliest feasible date for delivery. Given your request for late September or early October, I must inform you that our standard production cycle is a minimum of 5 months, which includes time for sampling and production. Therefore, the earliest feasible date for delivery would be around February next year.\n\nPlease let me know if you are willing to adjust your quantities to meet our minimums, and we can then discuss suitable fabrics and finishes for your collection.\n\nLooking forward to your response!",

I completely understand pricing depends on fabric, construction and quantities, however even a rough indication would be incredibly helpful as we continue developing the collection.\n\nIf possible, I would also love to see a few examples of premium occasion dresses your team has produced, to better understand your craftsmanship and fabric finishes.\n\n(Please note that the attached image is intended purely as an aesthetic reference rather than a final design.)\n\nKind regards,\nLillan\nFounder, LilBi & Co\nNorway\n\nSent from Outlook for iOS\n________________________________",
