Our socks will be made using recycled denim and GRS-certified post-consumer cotton yarn.\n\nI am reaching out to explore a potential manufacturing partnership with your company.\n\nI have been in contact with Recover\u2122, who recommended Tearfil as a spinning partner working with their recycled fibres. Do you already work with Tearfil, or would you be able to source yarn from them for our production?\n\nCould you also provide some information about:\n\nYour minimum order quantities for samples and production runs\nYour available certifications, such as GRS and OEKO-TEX\nYour typical lead times for sampling and production\nYour experience producing socks with recycled cotton yarns\nThank you for your time. I would be happy to share further details about the brand, the product specifications and the quantities we are considering.\n\nI look forward to hearing from you.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatthieu Vanheer\nmatthieu@mvnh.be \nJEAN \u2014 Made in Europe",

            "content": "Dear Matilde,\n\nThank you for your detailed reply. It was very helpful.\n\nPlease find my answers below:\n\nTech pack and sampling\nI do not yet have a completed tech pack, as the project is still at an early development stage. I would therefore be looking to develop the product together with your team during the sampling process.\n\nQuantities\nI plan to launch with 2 styles and 4 colors. I understand that your standard MOQ is 1,000 pairs per style and colour. However, for the initial launch, I was hoping to start with approximately 300\u2013500 pairs per style.\n\nWould there be any flexibility for a first production order? If the initial launch performs well, my intention is to scale the volumes quickly.\n\nTarget price\nMy target price is between \u20ac4 and \u20ac6 per pair. If a reduced initial MOQ is possible, could you provide an indicative price for a standard crew sock made from recycled cotton at:\n\n300\u2013500 pairs per style;\n\nyour standard MOQ of 1,000 pairs per style?\n\nTarget delivery date\nI am aiming for the first production run to be delivered during Q1 2027.\n\nI would also like to clarify the certification requirements. JEAN is built around recycled denim and post-consumer cotton using GRS-certified Recover\u2122 fibres, rather than organic cotton.\n\nCould you please confirm whether you can:\n\nWork with GRS-certified recycled yarn, for example yarn supplied by Tearfil;\n\nMaintain GRS traceability throughout production; and\n\nProvide a valid GRS Transaction Certificate covering the finished goods?\n\nThank you again for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatthieu Vanheer\nmatthieu@mvnh.be \nJEAN \u2014 Made in Europe\n\n\n> Le 17 sept. 2026 \u00e0 13:55, Matilde Azevedo  a \u00e9crit :\n> \n> Thank you for reaching out, Matthieu.

            "content": "Thank you for providing the additional details, Matthieu.\n\nRegarding your project:\n\n1. **Tech Pack:** Since you do not have a completed Tech Pack, we would need a Physical Sample or similar product references to proceed. Unfortunately, we do not offer design or Tech Pack development services.\n\n2. **Quantities:** Our minimum order quantity for socks is strictly 1,000 pairs per style and per colour. We are unable to accommodate a lower quantity for the initial production run. Please let me know if you can meet this MOQ.\n\n3. **Target Price:** Your target price of \u20ac4 to \u20ac6 per pair is below our viable range for socks. Unfortunately, based on this target price, the project would not be viable for us. We wish you the very best of luck with your project.\n\n4. **Target Delivery Date:** Aiming for delivery in Q1 2027 is feasible, provided the MOQ and pricing align with our requirements.\n\nRegarding your certification questions:\n\n- We currently hold the GOTS certification. However, for GRS certification and working with GRS-certified recycled yarns, including yarn supplied by Tearfil, these specific technical details would be addressed by our production team in the next phase.\n\nIf you are able to adjust your quantities and target price to meet our requirements, please let me know, and we can proceed with the next steps.
