For the others I provide technical drawings but might need extra\nsupport to create a precise tech pack depending on the factories need.\n\nIdeally I would like to produce the minimum quality your factory agrees to\nas I am a small start up company and would like to avoid overproduction.\nDoes 10 pieces per size and color seem realistic to you? Overall I think I\nwill launch a first collection of 16 pieces approximately (potentially a\nbit more).\n\nI would like to receive finished and quality controlled pieces by September\nideally but am flexible +\\- 1 month.\n\nFor the production price it is complicated to der mine individual pricing\nbut with everything included, from prototyping to fabrics and finished\npieces I would like to be between 10-20 000\u20ac.\n\n\nPlease let me know if these seem realistic to you. As mentioned above, I am\nflexible on most of the points including production deadline and am open\nfor price offers based on your standards and habits.\n\nThank you for your time and looking forward to hearing from you!\n\nBest wishes,\nLara Gerlach\n\n\nOn Thu 26 Feb 2026 at 12:02, Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Lara,\n>\n> Thank you for contacting us.
