The\ndevelopment pack is intended to communicate our design direction, fit\nrequirements, construction details, fabric targets and branding\nspecifications, but it is *not yet a final production tech pack*.\n\nFinal measurements, fabric specifications, colour references and certain\ntechnical construction details will be validated and refined through\nphysical sampling with the selected manufacturing partner before production=\n.\n\nI have also attached *three preliminary visual concept references* to help\ncommunicate the overall silhouette, proportions, layering and aesthetic we\nare aiming to achieve.\n\nThese visuals are *not finalised designs and should be treated as\ndirectional references only*. The written specifications within the\ndevelopment pack, followed by approved physical samples, will take\nprecedence over the visuals.\n\nFor the scrub set, we are looking for a premium technical fabric that is\nbreathable, lightweight and durable, with excellent four-way stretch and\nrecovery while maintaining a polished, structured appearance.\n\nFor the base layer and sculpted jacket, we are looking for softer technical\nperformance fabrics with a premium activewear feel, strong stretch recovery\nand excellent comfort.\n\nWe are particularly interested in working with a manufacturer who can\nassist with technical pattern development, fabric sourcing, colour\nmatching\/lab dips, branding applications and iterative prototype sampling.\n\nCould you please review the attached development pack and provide\ninformation on:\n\n=E2=80=A2 Minimum order quantity per style and colour\n=E2=80=A2 Pattern development fees\n=E2=80=A2 Sample costs and revision fees\n=E2=80=A2 Sampling lead time\n=E2=80=A2 Bulk production lead time\n=E2=80=A2 Recommended fabric options matching our requested compositions an=\nd GSM\ntargets\n=E2=80=A2 Custom colour and lab-dip capabilities\n=E2=80=A2 Silicone and flexible heat-transfer branding options\n=E2=80=A2 Petite, Regular and Tall trouser grading capabilities\n=E2=80=A2 Quality-control and fabric testing procedures\n=E2=80=A2 Custom labels and packaging options\n=E2=80=A2 Whether you are able to develop all five products in the collecti=\non\n=E2=80=A2 Shipping options and estimated costs to Ireland\n\nWe would also welcome any technical recommendations regarding construction\nor fabric selection where you believe an alternative method would improve\ncomfort, durability or manufacturability while maintaining the core NUA\ndesign.\n\nWe are currently selecting the right development and manufacturing partner\nfor our first collection, with the intention of building a long-term\nrelationship as NUA grows.\n\nQuality, consistency, fit and communication are particularly important to\nus.\n\nI look forward to hearing your thoughts after reviewing the attached\nmaterials.\n\nKind regards,\n\nKayleigh Keane\nFounder\nNUA\nIreland\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided attached files (NUA_V2_6abe5771bad48.docx, 1A3C37F3-1D20-4F16-96C3-2EC7BB709C35_6abe5771ca59e.jpeg, 8C9A3623-D7B1-4F42-BE8B-73E583F8553B_6abe5771ca636.jpeg, CDAB81D5-3582-4278-95C6-596E840534A6_6abe5771ca6e6.jpeg).

I appreciate the comprehensive development pack and visual references you've provided.\n\nTo proceed with evaluating your project, I need to gather some additional information:\n\n1. **Quantities:** What is the total quantity you plan to produce per style and per colour? Please note that our minimum order quantities for general clothing are typically 200\u2013300 units per style.\n\n2. **Target Price:** Could you please specify your maximum target production price per style? This will help us assess the commercial viability of your project.\n\n3. **Desired Delivery Date:** What is your desired delivery timeline? Please keep in mind that our minimum project cycle is approximately 5 full calendar months from the current date.\n\nOnce I have these details, I can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps. \n\nRegarding your specific questions about pattern development, sample costs, and other technical capabilities, these details will be addressed in the next phase after we complete the initial commercial evaluation.\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",

Quantities*\n\nWe are currently planning our first production run and would ideally like\nto begin at the lower end of your MOQ while we establish initial demand.\n\nAt this stage, our preference would be approximately *200 units per core\nstyle in the initial launch colourway*, subject to successful sampling,\nfinal costing and confirmation of your MOQ structure.\n\nAs this is our first collection, I would also be interested to know whether\nMOQ can be distributed across sizes within each style and whether there is\nany flexibility for the smaller accessory item.\n\nWe intend to scale quantities in subsequent orders once the collection has\nlaunched and demand has been established.\n\n*2. Target Production Pricing*\n\nAs the products vary considerably in construction, our preliminary target\nex-factory pricing is approximately:\n\n\u2022 Signature Scrub Top: *\u20ac18\u2013\u20ac24 per unit*\n\u2022 Signature Scrub Trouser: *\u20ac20\u2013\u20ac26 per unit*\n\u2022 Second Skin Base Layer: *\u20ac14\u2013\u20ac20 per unit*\n\u2022 Sculpted Jacket: *\u20ac28\u2013\u20ac38 per unit*\n\u2022 Signature Headband: *\u20ac3\u2013\u20ac6 per unit*\n\nThese are working development targets rather than fixed ceilings.\n\nFabric quality, fit and construction are central to the NUA concept, so I\nwould prefer to assess your recommended fabrics and construction approach\nbefore setting a final target price. If achieving the required quality\nmeans that certain products fall outside these ranges, I would be happy to\nreview your recommendations and costing.\n\n*3. Desired Delivery Timeline*\n\nWe are not working toward an immediate launch deadline and would prefer to\nprioritise development and product quality over rushing the process.\n\nGiven your approximate five-month development cycle, a *March\/April 2027\nproduction completion timeframe* would be suitable for us, subject to the\nsampling and approval process.\n\nOur priority at this stage is to identify a manufacturing partner who can\nachieve the required fabric quality, fit and technical construction, and\nwith whom we can develop the collection long term.\n\nPlease let me know whether the above quantities, pricing expectations and\ntimeline would be compatible with your production model.\n\nI would be very interested in progressing to the next stage if the project\nappears commercially suitable for both sides.\n\nKind regards,\n\nKayleigh Keane\nFounder\nNUA\nIreland\n\nOn Thu, 1 Oct 2026 at 13:52, Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Kayleigh,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out and sharing your detailed vision for NUA.

I appreciate your flexibility and understanding as we evaluate the commercial viability of your collection.\n\nRegarding the quantities, our minimum order quantity is typically 200\u2013300 units per style. We can distribute these quantities across different sizes within each style, but the total per style must meet the MOQ. Unfortunately, for the smaller accessory item, the target price provided makes the project not viable for us.\n\nFor the target production pricing, your proposed ranges for the Signature Scrub Top, Signature Scrub Trouser, Second Skin Base Layer, and Sculpted Jacket are within a workable range. However, the target price for the Signature Headband is below our viable threshold, and we would not be able to proceed with that item under the current pricing.\n\nYour desired delivery timeline of March\/April 2027 aligns well with our production schedule, considering our development and production lead times.\n\nIf you are open to adjusting the target price for the Signature Headband or focusing on the other items, we can proceed to discuss the next steps. Please let me know how you would like to move forward.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",
