            "content": "Hello Lorenz,\n\nThank you for reaching out and considering us for your sock production needs. We would be happy to assist you with your project. To proceed, I need to gather some specific information about your requirements:\n\n1. **Designs:** Do you have a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample for the socks you wish to produce?\n2. **Quantities:** What is the total quantity you intend to produce, and how many styles are you planning?\n3. **Target Price:** What is your maximum target production price per style?\n4. **Desired Delivery Date:** What is your desired delivery timeline?\n\nRegarding your questions about our experience with technical or sports socks, available materials, and other details, these technical aspects will be addressed in the next phase by our production team once we have completed your commercial file.\n\nPlease note that our minimum order quantity for socks is 1,000 units per style and per colour. \n\nAs for meetings, at this initial stage, we conduct all project evaluations directly through this channel to first assess the commercial viability of the project before any meeting or team assignment.\n\nOnce I have the above details, I can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps.\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",

            "content": "Dear Matilde,\nThank you for your quick and clear reply. Please find our answers below.\n\n   1. Designs: We are finalising a tech pack for one style, a technical\n   running sock (anatomical heel cup, dual-density cushioning, mesh\n   ventilation). We will send it to you as soon as it is complete.\n\n\n   2. Quantities: One style. The number of colourways is not final yet (one\n   or two). We have noted your MOQ of 1,000 pairs per style and per colour.\n\n\n   3. Target price: Rather than give a single target, could you quote your\n   price per pair at 1,000, 2,000 and 5,000 pairs per colour? That will help\n   us decide on the number of colourways.\n\n\n   4. Delivery date: This depends on the sampling rounds. Could you tell us\n   your typical lead time for development samples and for bulk production\n   after sample approval?\n\nWe also have a few questions before we go further:\n\n   - Samples of existing work: Could you send us a few technical sports or\n   running socks you have produced for other brands, so we can assess knitting\n   quality and finish? Please let us know if there is a cost for this.\n   - Development samples of our design: What is the cost and lead time per\n   sampling round, and is this cost deducted from a bulk order?\n   - Production: Do you produce in your own factory, or do you work with\n   partner factories?\n   - Payment terms: What deposit and payment schedule do you apply for a\n   first order?\n\nThank you in advance. We look forward to hearing from you.\nKind regards,\nLorenz\n\n\nOp di 13 okt 2026 om 10:22 schreef Matilde Azevedo :\n\n> Hello Lorenz,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out and considering us for your sock production\n> needs.

Let's address your points:\n\n1. **Designs:** Once your Tech Pack is ready, please send it over so we can proceed with the evaluation.\n\n2. **Quantities:** Noted on the MOQ of 1,000 pairs per style and per colour. Once you finalize the number of colourways, let us know.\n\n3. **Target Price:** We require a specific target price to evaluate the commercial viability of your project. Please provide the maximum target production price per pair for the quantities you are considering.\n\n4. **Delivery Date:** Our typical lead time for development samples is 6\u20138 weeks. Bulk production takes approximately 10\u201314 weeks after sample approval. Please note that these timelines are subject to change based on the complexity of the design and production schedule.\n\nRegarding your additional questions:\n\n- **Samples of Existing Work:** We do not send samples of existing work due to confidentiality agreements with our clients. However, we assure you that our production quality meets high standards.\n\n- **Development Samples:** The cost of a sample depends on the specific product and complexity of the design. This cost is not deducted from the bulk order.\n\n- **Production:** We work with partner factories that adhere to our quality standards.\n\n- **Payment Terms:** Our standard payment terms are 50% advance and 50% before shipping for both development and production.\n\nPlease let me know if you have flexibility regarding the target price, and feel free to send the Tech Pack once it's ready.
