It's\nearly days, and I'm reaching out to understand whether your network might\nbe a good fit before going further.\n\nThe objective isn't a standard or mass-market picnic blanket \u2014 I'm\ndeveloping something with a refined, considered feel, closer to a piece of\nhome textile than typical outdoor gear, suitable for sale through\nhigh-quality lifestyle retail.\n\nThe construction I'm looking for:\n\n- Finished size: 200 x 200 cm\n- Top fabric: heavyweight brushed cotton, around 350-400 gsm, in a neutral\nWarm Sand tone\n- Padding: a thin, low-loft layer (3-5mm)\n- Quilting: a heart-shaped motif stitched through all layers, in a regular\nrepeating pattern\n- Backing: waterproof, matte, tan\/beige tone, laminated, no centre seam\nacross the 200cm width\n- Dusty Blue contrast binding, rounded corners\n- Integrated carrying straps with metal hardware\n- Hidden pocket, woven label\n\nDo you have a mill within your network that could develop something like\nthis? I'd love to understand the process, rough MOQ, and lead time at this\nearly stage, before committing to a full sample.\n\nThank you very much for your time.\n\nJessica Bruckner\nFounder, WORTHY",

For an eventual first production\nbatch, I was thinking around 20 units - I understand this is well below\nyour usual 500m2 MOQ for solid colours, so I'd appreciate your guidance on\nwhether that's workable within your network, or whether a different mill or\napproach would suit a smaller first order better.\n- Target price: As an initial reference, I'm aiming for a production cost\naround =C2=A325-30 per unit, though I'm open to your feedback on what's\nrealistic given the construction.\n- Delivery timeline: There's no fixed deadline, but I would like to move at\na steady pace and make efficient progress from here, so any realistic\nestimate for sample and bulk lead times would help me plan.\n- Shipping: Could you also let me know your usual delivery terms to the UK\n(Incoterms) and a rough sense of freight cost and customs process?\n\nI'm also very open to suggestions - if there's a more logical or\ncost-effective way to achieve a similar result based on your experience\nwith these materials, I'd welcome your input.\n\nHappy to answer any other questions.\n\nBest regards,\nJessica Bruckner\nFounder, WORTHY\nLondon, UK\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided attached files (WORTHY_TechPack_v2_6ab3a66a810a1.docx).

I appreciate your thoroughness.\n\nRegarding the production quantity, our minimum order quantity for home textiles like blankets is indeed 500 square meters for solid colors. Unfortunately, a production run of 20 units would not meet our MOQ requirements. \n\nAs for the target price, I understand you're aiming for \u00a325-30 per unit. However, given the complexity and premium nature of your design, it might be challenging to achieve this target. Would you have some flexibility to increase your budget per unit?\n\nFor the delivery timeline, since there is no fixed deadline, we can proceed at a steady pace. Typically, the lead time for sampling is 6\u20138 weeks, and production takes 10\u201314 weeks after order placement. Please note that these timelines are subject to change based on the specifics of your project and our current production schedule.\n\nRegarding shipping, our standard terms are Ex-Works (EXW), meaning the client manages and pays for shipping, freight, and insurance.

That would help us understand where the real number lands rather than\nworking from an estimate.\n\nOn quantity: 500m\u00b2 is a significant first commitment for a brand at our\nstage.

Accurate pricing depends on the technical specifications, materials, construction, and final quantities, so all project requirements must be gathered first. However, since you mentioned having some flexibility, this will certainly help in achieving the desired quality level.\n\nRegarding the quantity, our MOQ for home textiles like blankets is firm at 500 square meters. We are unable to accommodate smaller trial orders below this threshold, even at a higher per-unit price. I understand this may be a significant commitment for a new brand, but it ensures the efficiency and sustainability of our production process.\n\nAs for shipping, while we operate on an Ex-Works basis and do not directly recommend specific freight forwarders, I suggest reaching out to logistics companies that specialize in international shipping to the UK.
