The design includes delicate trim\ndetails and is intended to feel soft, breathable, flattering, and elevated\nrather than like traditional synthetic activewear.\n\nMy preferred fabric direction is primarily natural or plant-derived fibers,\nsuch as:\n\n   - TENCEL=E2=84=A2 Modal \/ organic cotton \/ elastane\n   - TENCEL=E2=84=A2 Lyocell \/ organic cotton \/ elastane\n   - organic cotton stretch jersey\n   - soft pointelle or rib knit for future styles\n\nI would like to avoid polyester-dominant fabrics and minimize synthetic\ncontent where possible while still maintaining sufficient stretch and\nrecovery for Pilates and yoga.\n\nI am currently preparing the technical sketch and specifications for the\nfirst set and would love to understand your development process.\n\nCould you please provide information regarding your:\n\n   - minimum order quantities per style\/color\n   - sample development costs\n   - pattern and tech-pack development services\n   - fabric sourcing options\n   - custom color\/dye minimums\n   - sample lead times\n   - production lead times\n   - estimated pricing at different quantity levels\n   - shipping options to the United States\n\nI have attached a visual concept of the first style for reference. (My\nsketch, a visual reference included the colors\/material)\n\nThank you, and I look forward to learning more about working together.\n\nBest,\nCeleste\nFounder, Celestial\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided attached files (Sketch_6a987cbe22ecf.png, Clair_de_Lune_Set_Layout_6a987cbe231b0.png).

I appreciate the visual concept you've attached for your first style.\n\nTo proceed with your project, I need to gather some specific information:\n\n1. **Quantities:** What is the total quantity you intend to produce per style and per color?\n2. **Desired Delivery Date:** What is your desired delivery date for the first production run?\n3. **Target Price:** What is your maximum target production price per style?\n\nRegarding your questions:\n\n- **Minimum Order Quantities:** For general clothing, our minimum is 200\u2013300 units per style, with a minimum of 100 units per color.\n- **Sample Development Costs:** The cost of a sample depends on the specific product and complexity of the design. We only develop one sample per style for initial approval.\n- **Pattern and Tech-Pack Development Services:** We do not provide design services, but we can work from your Tech Pack or Physical Sample.\n- **Fabric Sourcing Options:** We can source fabrics based on your preferences, including natural or plant-derived fibers.\n- **Custom Color\/Dye Minimums:** This depends on the fabric and dyeing process, which we can discuss further once we have more details.\n- **Sample Lead Times:** Typically 6\u20138 weeks.\n- **Production Lead Times:** Typically 10\u201314 weeks after order placement.\n- **Estimated Pricing:** Accurate pricing can only be provided after our technical team evaluates your project details.\n- **Shipping Options:** We operate on an Ex-Works basis, meaning you would manage and pay for shipping and insurance to the United States.\n\nOnce I have the additional information regarding quantities, delivery date, and target price, I can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps.\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",

This is very helpful.\n\nFor the first production, I am currently considering approximately *200\nunits in one colorway*, Baby Blue with Cloud Cream detailing.\n\nBefore confirming quantities, could you please clarify whether the matching\ntop and pant would be considered *one style\/set or two separate styles for\nMOQ purposes*?\n\nMy preferred delivery window for the first production run would be\napproximately *March\u2013April 2027*, although I am flexible depending on the\nsampling and development timeline. (Would it be possible to expedite the\nsampling and production timeline for this first collection? If so, could\nyou please let me know the fastest realistic timeline and any additional\nrush fees involved?)\n\nMy preliminary target ex-factory production cost would be\napproximately *\u20ac45\u2013\u20ac60\nfor the complete two-piece set*, depending on final fabric selection,\ntrims, embroidery, and construction. I am open to recommendations from your\ntechnical team once the design has been reviewed.\n\nI am currently preparing the technical specifications for the set. My\npreferred fabric direction is a soft, matte, breathable blend such as *TENCEL\u2122\nModal \/ Organic Cotton \/ Elastane*, with enough stretch and recovery for\nPilates, yoga, and everyday wear. I would like to avoid polyester-dominant\nfabrics.\n\nI will be able to provide a technical pack along with my original design\nsketches and visual references.\n\nCould you also let me know whether you are able to provide *fabric swatches\nor available fabric options* before sample development begins?\n\nThank you again.
