            "content": "Hello Lucia,\n\nThank you for reaching out and providing detailed information about *Bivalva*. I appreciate your interest in exploring a partnership with us.\n\nTo address your inquiries:\n\n1. **Production Services:** We offer full-package production, including sourcing, pattern making, grading, sampling, and CMT services.\n\n2. **Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs):** For general adult clothing, our MOQ is 200\u2013300 units per style, with a minimum of 100 units per colour.\n\n3. **Production Pricing:** We do not provide indicative production costs at this stage. Accurate pricing depends on the technical specifications, materials, construction, and final quantities. However, I can assist you better if you provide your maximum target production price per style for the garments you mentioned: trousers, dungarees\/overalls, tops\/blouses, and jackets.\n\nRegarding your initial production runs of 50\u2013100 units per SKU\/style, this quantity is below our standard MOQ. If you are able to increase the order to meet our minimums, we would be happy to proceed with further discussions.\n\n4. **Sampling Costs and Lead Times:** The cost of a sample depends on the specific product and complexity of the design. We only develop one sample per style for initial approval. Sampling typically takes 6\u20138 weeks.\n\n5. **Production Lead Times:** Production takes approximately 10\u201314 weeks after order placement, with a total cycle of at least 5 months.\n\n6. **Fabric and Trim Sourcing:** We can support sourcing and work with certified and sustainable materials. We hold the GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification.\n\n7. **Payment Terms:** Our standard terms are 50% advance and 50% before shipping.\n\n8. **Capacity for New Clients:** We are open to building long-term relationships and can support increasing volumes over time.\n\n9. **Timeline from Order to Production:** As mentioned, the total cycle is approximately 5 months, considering development and production lead times.\n\nIf you are interested in proceeding under these terms and can meet our MOQ, please let me know. Unfortunately, we do not schedule video calls at this initial stage, but once we receive all the required details and our technical team approves your project, they will contact you directly to arrange a meeting.\n\nFeel free to provide any additional information or let me know if you have further questions.\n\nThank you for considering us as your potential manufacturing partner.\n\nBest regards,",
