For our upcoming drop I am onboarding an\nadditional full package partner in Portugal, and your knit factories in\nBarcelos, GOTS certification and experience with womenswear brands in our\nsegment make you a strong fit. I would like to move directly into\ndevelopment of a first prototype for the style below. The brand name\nremains confidential at this stage and will be disclosed under NDA once we\nenter costing.\n\nStyle: women's ultra low rise straight leg sweatpant, heather grey.

As you state that you\ndevelop garments from scratch without a tech pack, I would like your team\nto build pattern and tech pack from the attached sheet and the brief below\nand proceed straight to the first proto on that basis. Please quote\ndevelopment separately if it is chargeable.\n\nDevelopment brief\n- Fabric: brushed back fleece or loopback French terry, 300 to 350 GSM,\norganic cotton or cotton blend, heather grey m=C3=A9lange, soft washed hand\nfeel, GOTS or OEKO-TEX certified\n- Waistband: flat, approx. 4 cm, self fabric or 1x1 rib, ultra low rise as\nshown, exposed thick flat braided drawcord in white through two metal\neyelets\n- Fit: fitted through hip and thigh, straight leg with a slight flare\ntowards the hem, inseam approx. 81 cm on size S\n- Pockets: two front slant pockets, one back patch pocket on the right with\na small woven label\n- Hem: raw edge, no coverstitch\n- Branding: our logo embroidered vertically on the left leg as appliqu=C3=\n=A9,\nsew down twill or felt letters with satin stitch border, positioned from\nmid thigh downwards as in the reference photo. Additionally a small flat\nembroidery wordmark at the left hip, a woven label at the back waist and a\ncare label. Logo artwork will be supplied as vector once development starts=\n.\n- Size range: XS to XL, proto in size S\n\nRemaining points of measure I would like to set together with your pattern\nmaker at proto stage rather than fix them now.\n\nPlease come back to me with\n1. Cost of tech pack and pattern development plus one proto in size S,\ndelivered to Germany\n2. Lead time for pattern, tech pack and proto\n3. Your MOQ per style and colourway for a custom knit style like this, and\nan indicative unit price range at 100 and 300 pcs\n4. Bulk lead time from PP sample approval\n5. Confirmation that appliqu=C3=A9 and flat embroidery are executed in hous=\ne or\nat your partner factory\n6. Certified fabric options in this GSM range, ideally with a swatch card\n\nOn approval of the proto the plan is a first production run this season and\na standing program thereafter. Happy to take a call to align on details, I\ncan also visit your showroom in Vila do Conde if useful.\n\nKind regards\nElias E=C3=9Fer\nFounder\n+49 1573 4000250\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided attached files (Logo_Placement_6ab43561b72be.jpg).

            "content": "Hello Elias,\n\nThank you for reaching out to us and considering Portugal Textile for your upcoming womenswear collection. I appreciate the detailed brief you've provided for the women's ultra low rise straight leg sweatpant.\n\nTo proceed, I need to clarify a few points to ensure we can meet your requirements effectively:\n\n1. **Tech Pack and Pattern Development**: While we can assist with the development, we typically require a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample to start. Since you mentioned there is no full Tech Pack yet, could you confirm if the attached spec sheet is intended to serve as the initial reference for development?\n\n2. **Quantities**: Could you please specify the quantities you are considering per style and per colourway? Our minimum order quantity for custom knit styles like this is typically 200\u2013300 units per style.\n\n3. **Target Price**: What is your maximum target production price per unit for this style? This will help us assess the feasibility of your project.\n\n4. **Delivery Timeline**: You mentioned a desire to start production this season. Please note that our minimum lead time for development and production is approximately 5 full calendar months from the current date. Considering factory closures in December, the earliest realistic delivery would be around February 2027. Does this timeline align with your plans?\n\nRegarding your other inquiries:\n\n- **Appliqu\u00e9 and Embroidery**: We can confirm that appliqu\u00e9 and flat embroidery are executed either in-house or with our partner factories.\n- **Certified Fabric Options**: We can provide options for GOTS or OEKO-TEX certified fabrics in the specified GSM range once we have all project details confirmed.\n\nPlease let me know if you agree with our standard terms, including the development fees and payment terms, so we can proceed further. Unfortunately, we do not schedule calls or showroom visits at this initial stage, but once all project details are confirmed, our team will be in touch to arrange further discussions.\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",

            "content": "Dear Matilde,\n\nThank you for the quick and clear reply. To your points in order.\n\n1. Development. Yes, the attached spec sheet is the initial reference for\ndevelopment, together with the embroidery reference photo and the brief in\nmy first mail. There is no physical sample, so pattern and tech pack would\nbe built by your team from these and signed off by me before the proto is\ncut.\n\n2. Quantities. The first run is planned in two colourways, heather grey and\npink, at 100 to 150 units per colourway across XS to XL, so 200 to 300\nunits on the style in total, which sits inside your stated minimum. Please\nconfirm whether the minimum applies per style or per colourway, and quote\nat 100 and 150 per colourway so I can see where the break sits.\n\n3. Target price. This is a core basic for us, not a one off, and the plan\nis to reorder the style with additional colourways. For that reason I am\nworking with a target of 14 to 16 EUR per unit ex works on the first order.\nI know that is at the lower end for Portugal, but the construction is\nsimple, one fabric, no lining, no zips, and the only cost driver is the leg\nappliqu\u00e9. If you can get close to that at 300 units in total, you have a\nstanding program. If your costing lands higher, please send it anyway with\nthe breakdown between fabric, CMT and embroidery so we can see where there\nis room.\n\n4. Timeline. February 2027 for bulk is later than I planned, so I would\nlike to separate development from production. Can you develop and deliver\nthe proto sample within the next 4 to 6 weeks, independent of the bulk\nslot? One proto in heather grey is sufficient, for pink a lab dip or fabric\nswatch alongside it would be enough. I need to see fit, fabric and the\nembroidery execution in hand before committing to a production timeline. If\nthe proto convinces, I am open to booking the February slot for bulk, and I\nwould appreciate you checking whether an earlier slot opens up after the\nDecember closure.\n\nOn terms, please send me your standard development fees and payment terms\nin writing, they were not attached to your mail. I will confirm on that\nbasis.\n\n\nKind regards\nElias E\u00dfer\nFounder\n\nAm Mi., 23.

Let's address each of your queries:\n\n1. **Development**: We can proceed with the development based on the attached spec sheet and the brief you provided. Our team will build the pattern and Tech Pack from these references, and we will ensure you have the opportunity to sign off before the prototype is cut.\n\n2. **Quantities**: Our minimum order quantity applies per style, not per colourway. Therefore, your total of 200 to 300 units across two colourways meets our MOQ requirement. However, we do not provide quotes for quantities below our MOQ per colourway. If you can confirm a minimum of 200 units per colourway, we can proceed with the quotation.\n\n3. **Target Price**: Your target price of \u20ac14 to \u20ac16 per unit is noted. While this is below our internal reference, it is above the 50% threshold, so I would like to ask if there is any flexibility to increase your budget slightly to better align with our production costs.\n\n4. **Timeline**: We can aim to develop and deliver the prototype sample within 4 to 6 weeks, independent of the bulk production timeline. Once the prototype is approved, we can discuss the bulk production slot, and I will check for any earlier availability post-December closure.\n\nRegarding our standard terms, here they are for your review:\n\n- **Development Fees**: Costs depend on style and include prototyping, sourcing, patterns, and quality control.\n- **Sample Cost**: The cost of a sample depends on the specific product and complexity of the design. The exact sample cost can only be confirmed after our team evaluates the Tech Pack or physical sample.\n- **Payment Terms**: 50% Advance \/ 50% Before Shipping (for both development and production).\n- **Shipping**: Ex-Works (Client manages\/pays shipping & insurance).\n- **Adjustments**: Can only be made after placing the final order.\n\nPlease let me know if you agree to proceed under these terms. Once confirmed, we can move forward with the development process.\n\nLooking forward to your confirmation.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",

            "content": "Dear Matilde,\n\nThank you, this is helpful. A few points before I confirm.\n\n1. Development. Agreed. Please send me the development quote for this\nstyle, covering pattern, tech pack, sourcing and one proto in size S with a\npink lab dip or swatch alongside. Once I have that figure in writing I will\nconfirm and release the 50 percent advance.\n\n2. Quantities. Your two statements do not quite line up. If the minimum\napplies per style, then 200 to 300 units across two colourways meets it and\na quote at 100 and 150 per colourway should be possible. If in practice you\nneed 200 per colourway to quote, that is a per colourway minimum of 400\nunits on the style, which is a different conversation. Please clarify which\none applies. What I can offer is this. Quote at 150 and 200 per colourway.\nIf the 200 per colourway price lands where it needs to, I am prepared to\ncommit to 200 per colourway on the first order.\n\n3. Target price. I can move to 16 to 17 EUR ex works at 200 per colourway,\nthat is my ceiling for a first order at this volume. Please send the\ncosting with the split between fabric, CMT and embroidery so we can both\nsee where it lands, and note the price at which you would need 150 per\ncolourway instead.\n\n4. Timeline. 4 to 6 weeks for the proto works, thank you.\n\nOn the terms. 50 percent advance and 50 percent before shipping is fine. Ex\nworks is fine as well, please ship the proto by DHL Express and the bulk\norder by courier or freight to my address in Germany and add the freight\ncost to the invoice. A rough freight estimate for 300 to 400 units to\nGermany with the quote would be appreciated. One clarification on the\nadjustments line. I read it as changes to the bulk order being possible\nonly after the order is placed. Please confirm that fit and construction\ncorrections on the proto, before the order is placed, are part of the\ndevelopment scope and not treated as post order adjustments. That is\nstandard for a first proto and I want to avoid a misunderstanding there.\n\nOnce I have the development quote and the clarification on quantities, I\nwill confirm the same day.\n\nKind regards\nElias E\u00dfer\nFounder\n\nAm Mi., 23.

Please state whether the development fee\nis credited in full or in part against the first production order, as is\ncommon practice, and let me know roughly when I can expect the quote so I\ncan plan the payment.\n\nOnce the quote is in, I will confirm the same day and release the advance.\n\nKind regards\nElias E\u00dfer\nFounder\n\nAm Mi., 23.
