            "content": "Dear Portugal Textile,\n\nI am writing on behalf of From Ward to Home, a premium baby gift brand\nbased in the United Kingdom currently developing our debut product.\n\nWe are looking for a Portuguese manufacturing partner for a bespoke canvas\nand leather nappy caddy. The product is designed to sit at the premium end\nof the baby gift market, with our brand positioning references being John\nLewis, The White Company and Liberty. Therefore, the quality of\nconstruction is central to the brand story.\n\nI have attached a detailed product brief and design illustration. In\nsummary the caddy specification is:\n- Fine woven canvas body in two colour-ways (natural and deep espresso)\n- Leather handles with leather straps running from handle, down sides and\nunder base\n- Contrast stitching on all leather elements\n- Internal rigid board insert for structure\n- Fixed central divider with removable perpendicular dividers\n- Full-width external front pocket\n- Antique brass hardware\n- Approximate dimensions 38cm x 25cm x 18cm\n\nI would be grateful if you could advise on:\n1. Whether this product is within your production capability\n2. Your development sample process and costs\n3. Minimum order quantities for production\n4. Lead times for samples and production runs\n5. Whether debossed branding on leather elements is possible\n6. Any relevant certifications you hold (GOTS, OEKO-TEX, BSCI or equivalent)\n\nEthical and sustainable manufacturing is important to our brand and we\nwould be keen to understand your approach to this as part of any\nconversation.\n\nWe are at early stage but we are a serious brand with a clear vision and we\nare looking to build a long-term manufacturing relationship with the right\npartner.\n\nKind regards,\nKadi\nFounder, From Ward to Home\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided attached files (FWTH-_product_brief_2_69f9f36e37556.pdf, FWTH-_technical_drawing_69f9f36e3761b.pdf).

            "content": "Hi Matilde,\n\nThanks for getting back to me so quickly. I have responded to your\nquestions below.\n\n1. BRAND\nOur brand is From Ward to Home. Our website is fromwardtohome.co.uk \u2014 the\nsite is currently in development as we are at the R&D stage of the\nbusiness, but the domain is live.\n\n2. LOCATION\nWe are based in the United Kingdom.\n\n3. QUANTITIES\nAs mentioned we are in the development phase and really want to get the\ncaddy product right, so are looking to begin with development samples. We\nare starting with one style (a structured canvas and leather caddy) in two\ncolourways: natural canvas with tan leather, and espresso canvas with dark\nleather. A second larger size of the same style will follow once the\ninitial style is approved. So we would like 1-2 samples per colour way of\nthe initial caddy.\n\nFollowing sample approval we would place an initial production run of\napproximately 20-30 units across both colourways. As the business grows and\ndemand is validated, we anticipate production runs of 50-100 units per\nstyle. We are deliberately starting at a considered scale to ensure the\nproduct is right before committing to larger volumes, and we are looking\nfor a manufacturing partner who can grow with us as the business develops.\n\n4. TARGET PRICE\nOur target manufacturing price for the empty caddy is in the region of\n\u00a310-15 per unit at production volumes of 20-50 units, with the\nunderstanding that development sample costs will be higher. We are open to\na conversation about how pricing scales with volume.\n\nI am happy to provide any further information you need,\n\nKind regards,\nKadi\n\nOn Tue, 5 May 2026 at 14:41, Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Kadi,\n>\n> Thank you for contacting us.\n>\n> To provide you with an accurate quotation for your project, I need the\n> following details:\n>\n> 1.
