            "content": "Bonjour Chlo\u00e9,\n\nThank you for your detailed email and for considering us for the launch of your brand, Suzy. It is excellent that you have the technical packs finalized, as this is a crucial first step.\n\nWe do have experience manufacturing both jersey underwear and ready-to-wear items like trousers. However, before we can analyze your project in detail, we need to clarify a few key points, particularly regarding quantities.\n\nYou mentioned an ideal production of 50-100 pieces per style. Our minimum order quantities (MOQs) are significantly higher and depend on the product category:\n*   **For Underwear:** Our minimum is 1,000 units per style and per color. This is especially true for technical items like menstrual underwear.\n*   **For Ready-to-Wear (pants, trousers, etc.):** Our minimum is 200-300 units per style.\n\nAs you can see, your requested quantities are below our production thresholds. Could you confirm if you are able to meet these minimums for your first production run?\n\nTo give you a complete picture, our standard production timeline is approximately 5 months from the order confirmation. Based on today's date, the earliest possible delivery would be around the end of July 2026.\n\nTo proceed with a preliminary analysis, could you please provide the following missing information:\n\n1.  What is your country?\n2.  What is your production price per style, indicated separately for each style?\n\nWe can certainly source the fabrics you mentioned and have experience with technical garments. However, meeting our MOQs is the necessary first step for us to move forward.\n\nI look forward to your reply.",

However, for a brand\nlaunch, quantities of 1,000 units  are unfortunately not feasible for me at\nthis stage, both financially and in terms of storage and logistics.\n\nMy objective is to start with small production runs  in order to test the\nmarket and validate the products before gradually increasing volumes.\n\nI am based in France.\n\nWith this in mind, I wanted to ask whether there might be any alternative\nsolutions within your production structure that could allow for lower MOQs,\nsuch as:\n\u2013 using available deadstock fabrics or materials already in your supply\nchain\n\u2013 grouping fabric orders with other productions\n\u2013 or producing a pilot \/ pre-series for emerging brands\n\nAdditionally, as I plan to develop several product categories (jersey\nunderwear, trousers, comfortable ready-to-wear pieces, etc.), would a total\nvolume spread across multiple styles potentially allow for more flexibility\non minimum quantities?\n\nI fully understand that your current production standards are designed for\nlarger volumes, but I wanted to check whether any room for flexibility\ncould exist to support a young brand at launch stage.\n\nThank you again for your time, and I remain available to discuss the\nproject further.\n\nKind regards,\nChlo\u00e9\nSuzy\n\nLe sam. 14 f\u00e9vr. 2026 \u00e0 12:16, Matilde Azevedo  a\n\u00e9crit :\n\n> Bonjour Chlo\u00e9,\n>\n> Thank you for your detailed email and for considering us for the launch of\n> your brand, Suzy.
