Could you please share:\n\n1. MOQ per style\/colourway (and whether this flexes for a first trial order)\n2. Lead time from approved sample to delivery\n3. Indicative price per unit at trial volume vs. repeat-order volume\n4. Fabric options and any certifications (e.g. OEKO-TEX)\n5. Whether you support paid sampling ahead of a bulk order\n\nAs a UK-based brand, we also value the potential option to visit your\nfacility in person before confirming a production partner.\n\nI am happy to send through some early designs and tech packs upon request.\nI must add, I am new to clothing design, so any pointers with these would\nbe fantastic.\n\nLooking forward to your reply.\n\nBest regards,\nJake\nThe Corso Club\nthecorsoclubuk@gmail.com",

            "content": "Hello Jake,\n\nThank you for reaching out and sharing details about The Corso Club. Your brand's aesthetic sounds intriguing, and we're excited to explore the possibility of working together on your golf polos.\n\nTo provide you with accurate information, I need to gather a few more details:\n\n1. **Tech Packs**: Do you have a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample for your golf polos? If you have a Tech Pack, you can send it over for our review.\n\n2. **Quantities**: What is the total quantity you are considering for your first order, and how many styles do you plan to create?\n\n3. **Target Price**: What is your target production price per style?\n\nRegarding your questions:\n\n- **MOQ**: Our minimum order quantity for general clothing, including golf polos, is 200\u2013300 units per style, with a minimum of 100 units per color. Unfortunately, this is non-negotiable, even for a first trial order.\n  \n- **Lead Time**: From the approval of the sample, our production lead time is approximately 10-14 weeks. Including sampling and other processes, the total cycle is around 5 months.\n\n- **Pricing**: We do not provide indicative prices at this stage. Accurate pricing can only be given after our technical team reviews your Tech Pack or Physical Sample and confirms the final quantities.\n\n- **Certifications**: We hold the GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification, which guarantees our commitment to environmentally and socially responsible production.\n\n- **Sampling**: We do support paid sampling ahead of a bulk order. The cost of a sample depends entirely on the complexity of each specific design.\n\nRegarding a visit to our facility, we would need to first evaluate your project details. Once our technical team reviews and approves your project, they will contact you to discuss the possibility of a visit.\n\nPlease send over your Tech Pack or let me know if you have a physical sample to ship. Once I have these details, I can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps.\n\nLooking forward to your reply.\n\nBest regards,",

            "content": "Hi Matilde,\n\nThank you for the detailed reply =E2=80=94 it's really helpful to understan=\nd how\nyou work, and the GOTS certification is a genuine plus for us.\nSustainability sits well with the brand, and it's something we'd be proud\nto communicate to our customers, so that's a real point in your favour.\n\nTo answer your questions:\n\n1. Tech pack =E2=80=94 Yes, I've attached our tech pack for the first golf =\npolo.\nOne note on it: the spec was originally drawn up with a previous supplier,\nso some of the terminology and options (the A7 button, woven label option\n4, polybag option C, etc.) refer to their own in-house catalogue of trims\nand packaging. That supplier sent me physical booklets and sample cards of\ntheir trim, button and packaging options to choose from, which made\nspecifying much easier. Do you offer a similar service =E2=80=94 i.e. sampl=\ne books\nor swatch cards of the buttons, labels, trims and packaging options you\nwork with? If so I'd happily work to your catalogue rather than carrying\nover another factory's references.\n\nPlease also treat the size specification in the pack as a draft for now =E2=\n=80=94\nI'll confirm final measurements against a fit sample before anything is\nlocked.\n\n2. Quantities =E2=80=94 We're launching with three golf polo styles, each i=\nn a\nsingle colourway to begin with. Realistically I'd be looking at around\n70-100 units per style for this first order (roughly 210-300 units in total\nacross the three).\n\nI understand from your earlier email that your MOQ is 200-300 units per\nstyle, so I wanted to be upfront that our per-style numbers sit below that\nfor launch. Is there any flexibility on a first order spread across three\nstyles =E2=80=94 or, alternatively, would you advise we consolidate into fe=\nwer\nstyles to meet the per-style minimum? I'd value your honest guidance here,\nas getting the first run right matters more to us than the number of styles=\n.\n\n3. Target price =E2=80=94 Our planned retail price is around =C2=A350-60 pe=\nr polo, so we\nhave room on production cost, but the final figure will naturally depend on\nyour quote. I'd welcome an indicative price per unit once you've reviewed\nthe tech pack and confirmed workable quantities.\n\nLooking forward to your thoughts.\n\nBest regards,\nJake\nThe Corso Club\nthecorsoclubuk@gmail.com\n\nOn Fri, Jul 31, 2026 at 12:56=E2=80=AFPM Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Jake,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out and sharing details about The Corso Club.

            "content": "Hi Matilde,\n\nThank you for the clarification on the minimums \u2014 that's really helpful,\nand it makes sense to consolidate for a strong first run.\n\nBefore I confirm quantities, could I check one point on how you define a\n\"style\"? Rather than three different designs, I'm considering launching a\nsingle polo design produced in three different colourways (same pattern,\nconstruction and measurements throughout \u2014 only the colours change).\n\nMy understanding from your earlier note is that your minimum is 200-300\nunits per style, with a minimum of 100 units per colour. So for one design\nacross three colourways at 100 units each (300 total), would that be\ntreated as a single style meeting your minimum \u2014 or does each colourway\ncount as a separate style with its own 200-300 minimum?\n\nJust want to make sure I structure the first order correctly before we move\nahead.

A single design across three\ncolourways at 100 units each (300 total) works well for us as a first order\nstructure.\n\nTwo things from here:\n\n1. Could your technical team put together an indicative quote based on the\ntech pack I sent, at 300 units (3 colourways x 100)? I'd value both their\nassessment of the design and a price per unit so I can plan properly. I\nappreciate this is indicative at this stage.\n\n2. In parallel, I'm refining the final design so it reads well across three\ncolourways \u2014 the polo in the current tech pack was developed around a\nsingle colourway, so the production version may differ slightly (same\nconstruction and quality level, adjusted so the design works across a small\npalette). I'll send an updated tech pack once it's finalised, but the\ncurrent one is a fair representation of the construction and finish I'm\nafter, so a quote against it would still be a useful benchmark.\n\nWould also still love your technical team's honest thoughts on the design\nand any suggestions from a production standpoint.\n\nThanks again \u2014 looking forward to the quote.\n\nBest regards,\nJake\nThe Corso Club\nthecorsoclubuk@gmail.com\n\nOn Sat, Aug 1, 2026 at 11:38\u202fAM Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Jake,\n>\n> Thank you for your question regarding how we define a \"style.\" In your\n> case, since you are considering launching a single polo design with three\n> different colorways, it would indeed be treated as one style.
