Our pieces are designed to be more refined in cut and\nfinish than standard hospitality uniforms. We already have four restaurants\nin Paris ready to order, and we'd like to start production as soon as\npossible.\n\nWe're contacting you because you produce uniforms and set minimums project\nby project, which suits a first run like ours.\n\nOur first collection has five styles:\n- A T-shirt (jersey)\n- A work shirt (lightweight woven)\n- A work jacket (cotton twill or canvas)\n- Wide-leg \"parachute\"-style trousers (same fabric as the jacket)\n- A bib apron, chest to below the knee (same fabric as the jacket)\n\nWe're planning around 100 pieces per style for the first run, sizes XS to\nXXL (the apron in one size), followed by regular smaller reorders.\n\nOn fabrics, we already have some ideas, but if you can send us fabric\nsamples, or recommend mills we should contact, we'd be glad to receive them.\n\nA few questions before we go further:\n\n1. Production: do you produce in your own factory, or through partner\nfactories? If partners, where are they located, and would we be in direct\ncontact with them?\n2. MOQ: what minimum would you apply per style and per colour for a project\nlike ours?\n3. Fabric and dyeing: do you source fabrics and handle dyeing, or should we\nsupply them? If needed, which mills and dye houses would you recommend?\nWhat is the minimum per custom colour (Pantone TCX), for piece dyeing and\nfor garment dyeing?\n4. Wash resistance: our garments need to withstand repeated industrial\nwashing at 90\u00b0C. Which fabrics, threads and trims would you recommend for\nthat?\n5. Pricing: indicative unit prices at 100 pieces for the jacket and the\napron.\n6. Sampling: cost and lead time for prototypes of the five styles.\n7. Lead times for a first production and for a reorder.\n8. Payment terms for a first order and for following orders.\n\nWe'll share full tech packs once we've moved forward together. Happy to set\nup a call if that's easier.\n\nBest regards,\n\nVincent\nCo-founder, Blumatter\nvincent.llorcamoatty@gmail.com\n+33 7 86 34 10 71",

I'm Matilde Azevedo, the commercial assistant handling initial onboarding and project qualification.\n\nTo proceed with your project, I need to gather some specific information:\n\n1. **Quantities:** You mentioned planning around 100 pieces per style. Please note that our minimum order quantity for general clothing is 200\u2013300 units per style. Would you be able to increase your order to meet this requirement?\n\n2. **Tech Pack or Physical Sample:** Do you have a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample for each of the five styles you mentioned?\n\n3. **Target Price:** What is your maximum target production price per style, indicated separately for each style?\n\n4. **Desired Delivery Date:** What is your desired delivery date for the first production run?\n\nRegarding your questions:\n\n- We produce through our own facilities and trusted partner factories, ensuring high-quality standards.\n- We do not provide fabric samples or recommend mills at this stage. However, we handle sourcing and dyeing based on your specifications.\n- For wash resistance and other technical specifications, these details will be addressed in the next phase by our production team once we have your complete project details.\n- Pricing, sampling costs, and lead times can only be determined after we receive all necessary project information.\n\nPlease provide the above details so we can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps. At this initial stage, we do not schedule calls, 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\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",

            "content": "Hello Matilde,Thank you for your reply. Here are our answers.1. Quantities: we plan around 100 pieces per style for the first run. Three of our styles (the jacket, the trousers and the apron) use the same fabric, so that is about 300 pieces on one fabric. Could the MOQ be applied per fabric rather than per style?2. Tech pack: we can send technical sketches and reference garments for each of the five styles. Would that be enough for an indicative quote?3. Target price: before setting a ceiling per style, we need to see your indicative price ranges for a run of 100 to 300 pieces. Could you share them for each style based on the description we sent?4. Delivery date: as soon as possible after sample approval. Could you tell us what your realistic lead times are for samples and for production?A few of our questions are still open, and we would like at least short answers at this stage:- Where are your partner factories located, and would we be in contact with them?- What is the minimum per custom colour (Pantone TCX), for piece dyeing and for garment dyeing?- What is your payment schedule for a first order?Thank you, and best regards,VincentCo-founder, Blumattervincent.llorcamoatty@gmail.com+33 7 86 34 10 71On Thu, Sep 24, 2026 04:32 PM, Matilde Azevedo <info@portugaltextile.com> wrote:Hello Vincent,\n\nThank you for reaching out to us at Portugal Textile.
