Quantities\nThe first collection consists of 5 complementary styles designed to form a modular set.\nFor the initial launch, I am currently considering a total production of approximately 200 to 250 units across the 5 styles, representing an average of 40 to 50 units per style. The final allocation can be adjusted depending on your MOQ requirements and production costs.\nI would first like to begin with a sampling phase in size XS\/S, in order to validate the fabrics, fit and finishing before confirming bulk production.\n2. Target price\nAs the 5 styles have different levels of technical complexity, I would first prefer to receive your estimated production cost for each style, based on these quantities.\nMy objective is to achieve the best balance between quality, technical performance and commercial viability, while positioning START STUDIO within the premium segment.\n3. Desired delivery date\nI would like to begin the sampling and development phase as soon as possible. Regarding the final bulk production, I remain flexible on the delivery date, as my priority is to ensure the quality of the development process and any necessary adjustments.\nCould you please confirm whether these volumes are compatible with your MOQ requirements and advise me on the next steps regarding sampling and costing?\nBest regards,\nC?line Ispenian\nFounder - START STUDIO\n\n________________________________\nDe : Matilde Azevedo \nEnvoy? : vendredi 2 octobre 2026 11:07\n? : celine.ispenian@outlook.fr \nObjet : RE: Activewear Prototype Development\n\nHello C?line,\n\nThank you for providing the details about your brand, START STUDIO.
