I am currently developing the product based on a detailed visual con=\ncept and product specifications.\n\nI have attached our current product concept and collection overview for ref=\nerence.\n\nFor the first development, I would like to focus on one style: the CORE ZIP=\n oversized hoodie.\n\nThe initial concept is:\n\n  *   100% cotton\n  *   Approximately 450=96500 GSM heavyweight fabric\n  *   Oversized \/ boxy fit\n  *   Drop shoulder\n  *   Slightly cropped body\n  *   Double-layer hood\n  *   No drawstrings\n  *   Premium matte black zipper\n  *   Small embroidered =93THE BASIC=94 logo on the left chest\n  *   Premium woven labels\n  *   Four initial colourways: Black, Navy Blue, Forest Green and Off White\n\nThe CORE ZIP would be the first product we develop. If the fit, quality and=\n sample are approved, I would then like to develop the other styles in our =\ninitial collection.\n\nRegarding quantities, I am initially considering approximately 200 units fo=\nr the first style, but I would like to confirm whether your MOQ of 200 unit=\ns per style can be split across different colours.\n\nFor example, an initial order of 200 units could potentially be divided acr=\noss four colourways.\n\nRegarding the target production price, I am currently aiming for approximat=\nely =8030-=8040 per unit, depending on the final fabric, construction, embr=\noidery, trims and other specifications. I am open to your recommendation ba=\nsed on the quality level we are targeting.\n\nCould you please let me know if this information is sufficient for you to p=\nrovide an initial sample quotation, and whether the 200-unit MOQ can be div=\nided across different colours?\n\nI would also be interested to know what information you would need from me =\nto begin the pattern and technical development.\n\nThank you again for your time.
