            "content": "Dear Portugal Textile team,\n\nMy name is Martijn van Voorbergen. I am the founder of LUMN Athletics, a\npremium men's training apparel brand launching in the Netherlands in late\n2026.\n\nI am reaching out to explore whether Portugal Textile could be the right\nmanufacturing partner for our first two products. I am currently sampling\nin Asia and want to run a parallel evaluation with a European partner.\n\nTHE TWO PRODUCTS:\n\n1. LUMN-TEE-SS-001 =E2=80=94 SS Performance Tee\nCut-and-sew, raglan sleeves, forward-shifted side seam, flatlock seams.\nFabric: approximately 175 GSM, nylon \/ recycled polyester \/ elastane +\nsilver fibre for anti-odour.\n\n2. LUMN-SH-5IN-001 =E2=80=94 5\" Performance Short\nCut-and-sew shell with a separate built-in compression liner. The liner is\na critical component and must match the compression quality of the\nLululemon Pace Breaker liner. Diamond gusset, soft-knit waistband, open\npockets.\n\nFull tech packs for both products are attached (drawings, points of\nmeasure, grading S-XXL, BOM, logo placement).\n\nFOUR QUESTIONS I NEED ANSWERED BEFORE PROCEEDING:\n\n1. Can you produce the compression liner for the short? This is the most\nimportant question. The liner must be a built-in compression knit, sewn\ninto a cut-and-sew shell, matching the Lululemon Pace Breaker reference.\nPlease confirm your capability specifically on this.\n\n2. What is your MOQ for fully custom cut-and-sew styles like these?\n\n3. What is your sample cost and lead time for first prototypes?\n\n4. Can you share two references from brands at a similar scale (startup \/\nfirst production run) that we can contact?\n\nWHY EUROPEAN PRODUCTION MATTERS TO US:\nMade in Portugal \/ EU is a meaningful story for our customer. We also value\nthe shorter lead times, EU ethical standards, no import duties, and the\nability to visit the factory easily.\n\nI would be happy to jump on a short call if that is easier. I am based in\nAmsterdam.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMartijn van Voorbergen\n\nFounder, LUMN Athletics\nmartijn@lumnathletics.com\n+31 6 4644 2020\nwww.lumnathletics.com\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided attached files (LUMN_Shorts_TechPack_v1-1_FINAL_6a39389ddc670.xlsx, LUMN_TechPack_TEE_LUMN-TEE-SS-001_6a39389ddc6f9.pdf, LUMN_TechPack_SHORT_LUMN-SH-5IN-001_6a39389ddc739.pdf, LUMN_Tee_TechPack_v2_6a39389ddc77d.xlsx).

Website under development, launching late 2026.\nInstagram: @lumnathletics (coming soon).\n\n2. Location: Netherlands (Amsterdam).\n\n3. Quantities and styles: Two styles for the first production run.\n- LUMN-TEE-SS-001: SS Performance Tee, 300 pcs, one colourway to start.\n- LUMN-SH-5IN-001: 5\" Performance Short, 300 pcs, one colourway to start.\nFull tech packs for both styles were attached to my previous email.\n\n4. Target production price: \u20ac15-20 per piece ex-factory for each style.\n\nThe single most important technical question for your team is the\ncompression liner on the short. It is a built-in compression knit liner,\nsewn into a cut-and-sew shell, and must match the Lululemon Pace Breaker\nliner in terms of fabric, compression, and construction quality. This is\nthe component that will decide whether we can work together.\n\nLooking forward to hearing from the technical team.\n\nBest regards,\nMartijn van Voorbergen\nFounder, LUMN Athletics\nmartijn@lumnathletics.com\n+31 6 4644 2020\n\n\nOn Mon, 22 Jun 2026 at 15:29, Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Martijn,\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.
