                "content": "Dear portugal textile team,\n\nMy name is Sophie Almeida Serin and I am currently developing a new brand : product combining a  bag  with a shopping trolley\nI?ve just embarked on a new entrepreneurial venture: together with my business partner based in Lisboa after 24 years working as a sales director in a promotional bag company in France.\nI?m launching a retail bag brand designed for dual use and aimed to be sold. It is a technical bag with a fashion-oriented positioning, aimed at the mid-to-high-end market\nIt will be put on a wheeled frame\nThe brand is already live and we have our brand chart.\n\nMy real wish is to manufacture in Portugal, as this makes a lot of sense to me for several reasons:\nMy business partner lives in Lisbon and I regularly work with him. This means I can easily travel to visit the factories.\nI am half Portuguese by origin, and I want to give meaning to this project through my heritage as well\nAnd at my former company, we were collaborating with Portugal , and I have already had the opportunity to visit the manufacturing factories; I am convinced of Portugal?s expertise in this field, particularly in retail and bags!\n\nI?d like to capitalize on this country?s experience to help shape my brand story and the value we?ll bring with the manufacturing location.\n\nThis project is, of course, confidential and hasn?t yet been launched commercially. That?s the goal as soon as possible. My business partner is a successful marketing and communication leader who is used to launch brands. So we both have our assets in this project.\nWe first took the time to create the product, bring it to life, and consider its aesthetics and technical aspects, with the help of two designers.\nWe are now entering the practical sampling phase to subsequently launch the project on the market\nThis stage is crucial both for confirming the product?s quality and usability, and for determining its price positioning\nThis is also crucial to  build a longterm and trustful partnership with a portuguese factory business partner !\n\nI therefore need to do several samples to test different aesthetic options and materials. I?d be happy to meet you via video call next week if you are ok so we can discuss together?\n\nI?ve just returned from Lisbon and would like to go back to Portugal around mid-April (16-17)  with the aim of meeting you . The aim would, of course, also be able to discuss together to confirm the construction and all the details so that we can fine-tune the product on site\nI also need to see materials that are durable, water-repellent and have a lovely, natural feel ? not plastic ? and perhaps even with an sustainable focus\n\nCould you please let me know:\n- If this type of project fits your capabilities\n- If you have contacts with steel frame manufacturers to build a tubular steel structure\n- Your minimum order quantities (MOQ)\n- Prototype costs and lead times\n- If you assist with material sourcing and technical development\n\nI would be happy to share sketches and more details after sending you a NDA.\n\n\nLooking forward to your reply.\n\nBest regards,\nSophie",
