                "content": "Dear Portugal Textile Team,\n\nMy name is Lee Jian Xian, and I am the founder of *RICHARD LEE*, a\nMalaysian luxury sporting apparel brand currently in development.\n\nWe are building the brand around premium courtwear designed for racquet\nsports, beginning with a performance polo that combines refined, classic\nstyling with the technical performance required for hot and humid climates\nsuch as Malaysia.\n\nWe are specifically looking to manufacture our garments in *Portugal*, and\nI am reaching out to explore whether Portugal Textile would be a suitable\ndevelopment and manufacturing partner for our first collection.\n\nOur first product is the *RICHARD LEE Court Polo No. 01*. We are looking\nfor:\n\n   - Lightweight premium technical piqu\u00e9, ideally around *155\u2013175 GSM*\n   - Excellent breathability and moisture management\n   - Quick drying and suitable for high heat and humidity\n   - Soft, luxurious hand feel with a *matte, non-shiny finish*\n   - Good stretch and recovery for racquet sports\n   - A structured premium polo collar\n   - Custom knitted striped sleeve cuffs\n   - Three-button placket with premium buttons\n   - Small custom *clouded leopard embroidery*\n   - Premium internal branding and finishing\n   - Tailored athletic fit that can transition from the court to casual wear\n\nWe would ideally like to begin by developing *one prototype in deep green*,\nperfecting the fabric, fit, construction and detailing before moving into\nthe remaining colourways.\n\nI have attached visual references of the polo and our branding direction.\nThese are concept references rather than final production-ready technical\ndrawings, and I would be happy to work with your team to translate them\ninto a production specification.\n\nCould you please let me know:\n\n   1. Whether this type of technical luxury polo is within your capabilities\n   2. Your MOQ per style and colour\n   3. Sampling\/development costs\n   4. Approximate production pricing and available quantity tiers\n   5. Whether you can source suitable premium technical piqu\u00e9 fabrics in\n   Portugal\n   6. Whether you can develop the custom collar, knitted cuffs and detailed\n   leopard embroidery\n   7. Sampling and bulk-production lead times\n   8. Which stages of production would take place in Portugal\n\nWe are looking for a manufacturing partner with whom we can develop the\nproduct carefully rather than simply producing a standard blank polo, as\nfabric quality, fit and finishing will be central to the RICHARD LEE brand.\nAttached are a few images of the designs I have created as samples for your\nteam.\n\nI would be happy to provide further specifications and artwork following\nyour response.\n\nKind regards,\n*Lee Jian Xian*\nFounder\n*RICHARD LEE*\nKuala Lumpur, Malaysia",

Your vision for the *RICHARD LEE Court Polo No. 01* sounds impressive, and we would be delighted to explore the possibility of partnering with you.\n\nTo proceed, I need to gather some specific information to ensure we can meet your requirements:\n\n1. **Tech Pack or Physical Sample:** Do you have a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample for the *RICHARD LEE Court Polo No. 01* that you can share with us?\n\n2. **Quantities:** What is the total quantity you intend to produce per style and per colour?\n\n3. **Desired Delivery Date:** What is your desired delivery date for the first collection?\n\n4. **Target Price:** What is your maximum target production price per polo?\n\nRegarding your questions:\n\n- We specialize in manufacturing high-quality garments, and your technical luxury polo aligns with our capabilities.\n- Our MOQ for general clothing is 200\u2013300 units per style, with a minimum of 100 units per colour.\n- The cost of sampling and development depends on the specific product and design complexity.\n- Accurate production pricing can only be provided after our technical team evaluates the project details.\n- We can source premium technical piqu\u00e9 fabrics in Portugal and develop custom features like collars, cuffs, and embroidery.\n- Sampling typically takes 6\u20138 weeks, and production takes 10\u201314 weeks after order placement.\n- All stages of production, including fabric sourcing, cutting, sewing, and finishing, take place in Portugal.\n\nPlease provide the requested details so we can proceed with evaluating your project.

I appreciate the information\nregarding your capabilities, production process, and timelines.\n\nI\u2019m pleased to hear that the RICHARD LEE Court Polo No. 01 aligns well with\nyour manufacturing capabilities. I would be very interested in moving\nforward with the development and sampling process.\n\nPlease find the initial project details below:\n\n*1. Tech Pack*\nYes, I have a development\/prototype tech pack prepared for the RICHARD LEE\nCourt Polo No. 01, which I can provide for your technical team to review. I\nwould also welcome your team's recommendations regarding fabric selection,\nconstruction, finishing, and any technical adjustments that could improve\nthe final garment.\n\n*2. Initial Production Quantity*\nFor the first production run, I am currently considering approximately\n200\u2013300 units for the style, initially across two colours.\n\nAs this will be the first RICHARD LEE production run, I would ideally like\nto begin at the lower end of your MOQ while establishing the product and\nour working relationship.\n\n*3. Desired Delivery Date*\nI am targeting a launch in the first half of 2027. Based on your stated\nsampling and production timelines, I am flexible on the exact delivery date\nand would be happy to coordinate a realistic schedule with your team once\ndevelopment begins.\n\n*4. Target Production Price*\nFor the Court Polo No. 01, my priority is achieving the appropriate level\nof fabric quality, construction, fit, and finishing rather than\ncompromising the garment to meet an aggressive cost target.\n\nAs an initial guideline, I would ideally like to target a production cost\nin the region of \u20ac30\u2013\u20ac40 per unit, depending on the selected technical\npiqu\u00e9, custom collar and cuff development, embroidery, trims, and final\nspecifications.\n\nIf achieving the intended quality requires a different price range, I would\nappreciate your recommendation after your technical team has reviewed the\ntech pack.\n\nThe Court Polo No. 01 is intended to be a core signature product for\nRICHARD LEE rather than a seasonal piece, so consistency of quality and the\nability to reorder and develop future colourways will be particularly\nimportant to us.\n\nI look forward to taking the next steps with you.\n\nBest regards,\nLee Jian Xian\nFounder\nRICHARD LEE\n\nOn Tue, 8 Sep 2026 at 9:02\u202fPM, Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Lee Jian Xian,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out and providing detailed information about your\n> brand, *RICHARD LEE*, and your interest in manufacturing with us in\n> Portugal.
