I am writing to enquire about production of our debut collection and to explore whether your factory might be the right long-term partner for us.\n\nAbout the brand\nRu & Lina makes considered pyjama and loungewear from TENCEL? Lyocell, manufactured in Portugal. Our debut - The Button Set - features a notch-collar pyjama shirt with contrast piping and a straight-leg trouser with a self-fabric drawstring waistband. We are launching in three colourways including a limited woven stripe. Quality, material integrity, and honest construction are the foundation of everything we make.\n\nI am not looking for a one-off production run. I am looking for a manufacturing partner to build this business with - someone who shares the same commitment to quality and wants to grow with a brand from the beginning.\nI am happy to email our full PDF tech pack, including:\n\n  *\nFlat technical drawings (front and back, all colourways)\n  *\nFull garment construction specification\n  *\nFabric, trim and label specifications\n  *\nMeasurements (base size UK M)\n\nI would love to discuss the following:\n\n  *\nMOQs for sampling and bulk\n  *\nSampling timeframes and pricing\n  *\nBulk order pricing and payment schedules\n  *\nExperience with TENCEL? Lyocell and woven piping construction (or any additional materials with sustainable production channels)\n\nI would also love to arrange a factory visit: to see your facility, meet your team, and have a proper conversation about the brand before we begin sampling. I am happy to travel and flexible on timing.\n\nThank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.\n\nBest regards,\n\nHolly\nFounder, Ru & Lina\nruandlina.com",

For 2 styles only it would be 100\/150 of each and for 3 styles it would be 100 of each. This is on the basis that there would be repeat orders and long term fulfillments.
