            "content": "New Form Submission:\nMessage: My name is Dani and I\u2019m currently in the early stages of launching a New Zealand activewear brand called Sleghers, focused on high-quality, performance-driven pieces for women who train. I\u2019m reaching out as I\u2019d love to work with you on developing our first product, starting with pattern development and initial samples. About the product We\u2019re beginning with a core women\u2019s legging, with plans to extend into shorts and pocket variations once the base fit is right and then to extend to mens core shorts. The overall direction is: Clean, minimal design Strong fit and structure Squat-proof, matte performance fabric Built for real training (lifting, running, grappling) Key design detail One of the defining features of this product is a curved seam that sits under the glute, rather than across the top. Just to explain this clearly: The seam sits at the glute\u2013hamstring fold It curves gently upward toward the outer hip It\u2019s designed to create a subtle lift from underneath There is no scrunch seam Construction overview Front: No front seam (clean finish through the front) Back: Centre back seam for shaping Under-glute seam as described above Waistband: High-waisted Double layer for support Clean, minimal finish Fabric We\u2019re aiming for: Nylon \/ elastane blend (around 75\/25) 240\u2013260 GSM Matte finish Good compression and fully squat-proof Variations (next stage) Once the core legging is right, we\u2019d also like to develop: A version with a side pocket (secure enough for a phone) A shorts version with a similar fit Including an internal grip at the hem Sizing We\u2019re starting with: NZ women\u2019s sizes 6\u201314 A few questions I\u2019d love to understand: Whether you can support pattern development from this type of concept Estimated costs for sampling and revisions Fabric sourcing options Minimum order quantities Typical timelines This is something I\u2019m really looking to build properly, so finding the right partner is important to me. Thanks so much for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Dani Slegh Sleghers\nProduct Category: Activewear\nMOQs: Lower than 100\/style.\nTarget Price: 25\nBrand Type: Start up\nCountry: New Zealand",

Designs\nAt this stage, we do not yet have finalised tech packs.\nHowever, we have a clear product direction and design intent, and are currently exploring two pathways:\n\n  *\nPremium blanks \/ pre-developed styles that align closely with our aesthetic (as a potential fast-to-market option)\n  *\nCustom development for selected core pieces once we confirm fit, fabric, and construction\n\nOur key women\u2019s product focus includes:\n\n  *\nSeamless or smooth front leggings (no front seam)\n  *\nNo scrunch detailing\n  *\nSubtle glute shaping through construction and compression\n  *\nMatte, squat-proof performance fabric\n\nMen\u2019s range focus:\n\n  *\nTraining shorts\n  *\nPerformance tees\/tanks\n  *\nDurable, technical fabrics suitable for gym and outdoor use\n\n2. Quantities\nInitial launch will be small and focused, likely:\n\n  *\n2\u20134 core styles to begin\n  *\nApprox. 50\u2013150 units per style (depending on final structure and MOQ requirements)\n\nWe are open to guidance here depending on whether we proceed with blanks or custom.\n3. Timeline\nWe are aiming for a first production run within the next 6\u201312 months, depending on development requirements and sampling timelines.\n4. Target Pricing\nAs we are positioning Sleghers in the premium market, our focus is on quality first, with pricing to align accordingly.\nThat said, for planning purposes:\n\n  *\nLeggings\/shorts: ideally within a mid-to-premium production range (to be refined based on fabric and construction)\n  *\nTops: similar positioning depending on technical fabric selection\n\nWe would appreciate your guidance on realistic pricing ranges based on:\n\n  *\nBlank\/pre-developed styles\n  *\nFully custom development\n\nAdditionally, could you please confirm:\n\n  *\nWhether you offer premium blank or pre-developed styles that align with the above direction\n  *\nYour MOQ requirements for both blank and custom production\n  *\nSample availability and process\n\nWe are looking to build a long-term manufacturing partnership, so quality, consistency, and communication are key for us.\nLooking forward to your thoughts.\nKind regards,\nDani\nCo-Founder | Sleghers\nNew Zealand\n\n________________________________",

To proceed, I need to clarify a few key points:\n\n1. **Designs**: Since you mentioned that you do not have finalized Tech Packs yet, do you have a Physical Sample (an actual garment) that you can ship to our office in Portugal?\n\n2. **Quantities**: I see that you are considering 50\u2013150 units per style. However, our minimum order quantity is strictly 200 units per style. Are you able to increase your order to meet this minimum?\n\n3. **Timeline**: Your desired timeline for the first production run is within the next 6\u201312 months. This aligns well with our standard cycle, which typically requires a minimum of 5 months for production.\n\n4. **Target Price**: I appreciate your focus on quality.

            "content": "Hello Dani,\n\nThank you for your response and for providing clarity on your quantities and target pricing.\n\n1. **Quantities**: Regarding your question about the pocket vs. no pocket styles, these would be considered separate styles for the purpose of our minimum order quantities. Therefore, if you decide to produce both variations, you would need to meet the MOQ of 200 units for each style.\n\n2. **Target Production Pricing**: Your target pricing of \u20ac18 \u2013 \u20ac28 per unit for leggings aligns with our production capabilities, especially if you are aiming for premium quality. We can certainly discuss fabric options that fit within this range.\n\n3. **Next Steps**: \n   - I will provide you with recommended fabric options that meet your specifications and pricing.\n   - For sample development, the costs are typically charged at double the production price. Therefore, if your production price is within the \u20ac18 \u2013 \u20ac28 range, the sample cost would be approximately \u20ac36 \u2013 \u20ac56 per unit. The estimated timeline for sample development is around 6-8 weeks.\n\nPlease confirm if you are comfortable with these details, and we can move forward with the next steps in your project. Thank you for considering us as your manufacturing partner.",

Your structured approach is well noted.\n\n1. **Sample Approach**: Starting with 1 x core legging sample (no pocket) is a great plan to finalize fit, compression, and seam construction. Once we have that refined, we can then move into the pocket variation and production planning.\n\n2. **Additional Development (Shorts)**: I recommend finalizing the legging first before extending into the shorts. This will allow us to ensure that the base construction and seam design are perfected, which can then be applied to the shorts, including the internal grip band at the hem.\n\n3. **Next Steps**: \n   - I will compile a list of recommended fabric options that align with your specifications and share them with you shortly.\n   - For sample development, we will need to finalize the fabric choice and confirm the sample order.\n\n4. **Freight Options**: I will also gather information on freight options and estimated costs to New Zealand for both samples and bulk production, along with typical delivery timeframes.\n\nOnce I have all this information, I will reach out to you to finalize the details and get started on the sample development.
