Ideally, I=\n would like to start at approximately 25=9650 pieces per design, with the q=\nuantity split across sizes from 6=9612 months through to 7=968 years.\n\nIt is particularly important that the MOQ can be mixed across sizes rather =\nthan applying separately to each size.\n\nI=92m looking for a full-package manufacturing service, including:\n\n=95 Product development and sampling\n=95 Premium soft knitted garment production\n=95 Embroidery, boucl=E9 and appliqu=E9 details\n=95 Individual name personalisation on selected designs\n=95 TOVIA & ME branded neck labels and swing tags\n=95 Care\/composition and size labels\n=95 Finishing and factory quality control\n=95 Delivery of the completed garments to me in the UK\n\nI would then carry out my own final quality check, packaging and customer f=\nulfilment.\n\nFor the initial launch, I would prefer to keep stock levels relatively lean=\n and reorder successful designs if demand supports it. I would therefore be=\n interested to understand whether you can accommodate smaller initial quant=\nities and subsequently offer relatively quick repeat production.\n\nIf this collection is suitable for your factory, please could you advise:\n\n=95 Your minimum order quantity per design, and whether sizes can be mixed =\nwithin that MOQ\n=95 Whether 25=9650 pieces per design would be possible for an initial orde=\nr\n=95 Approximate sample\/development costs\n=95 Indicative unit pricing at 25, 50, 100 and 250 pieces per design\n=95 Sample and bulk-production lead times\n=95 Your capabilities for embroidery, boucl=E9\/appliqu=E9 and individual pe=\nrsonalisation\n=95 Whether labels, swing tags and finishing can all be completed by you\n=95 Any recommendations you would make based on the attached concepts\n\nQuality and softness are particularly important to me. I=92m looking to cre=\nate something that feels genuinely premium and beautifully finished while s=\ntill being practical and washable for young children.\n\nI=92d be very happy to discuss the collection further if it looks like a go=\nod fit for your manufacturing capabilities.\n\nMany thanks,\n\nVictoria\nFounder, TOVIA & ME\n\n\nSent from Outlook for Android\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided attached files (TOVIA_AND_ME_Christmas_Jumper_Supplier_Brief_6aad10527003c.docx).

            "content": "Hello Victoria,\n\nThank you for reaching out and providing the details for TOVIA & ME. I have received your supplier development brief.\n\nTo proceed with evaluating your project, I need to clarify a few key points:\n\n1. **Quantities:** Our minimum order quantity for kidswear is 250 units per style and per colour. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate the smaller quantities of 25-50 pieces per design as requested. Would you be able to increase your order to meet our MOQ?\n\n2. **Target Price:** Could you please provide your maximum target production price per style? This will help us assess the viability of your project.\n\n3. **Delivery Date:** What is your desired delivery date for the initial collection?\n\nOnce we have this information, we can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps.\n\nThank you for considering us as your manufacturing partner.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",

            "content": "Hi Matilde,\n\nThank you so much for coming back to me so quickly.\n\nAt this stage, I wouldn't be comfortable committing to 250 units per style, as TOVIA & ME is a new brand and I would like to test the initial Christmas collection with a smaller production run before scaling.\n\nMy preferred initial quantity would be approximately 25?50 units per style, with sizes mixed within that quantity. If the collection performs well, I would then look to place repeat and larger orders.\n\nI completely understand if this means the initial collection isn't suitable for your production model. However, I would be very interested in understanding your pricing for future reference.\n\nFor a premium children's knitted jumper of the quality and detailing shown in the brief, I am currently exploring manufacturing costs rather than working to a fixed target price. If helpful, please could you advise your indicative unit price at 250 units per style?\n\nIn terms of timing, I would ideally like the finished collection delivered to the UK by September 2027, allowing time for final QC, photography and launch ahead of the Christmas season.\n\nIf you happen to offer a sampling\/development service before committing to the full MOQ, or can recommend a smaller-production partner who works with emerging brands, I would also be very interested.\n\nMany thanks,\nVictoria\nTOVIA & ME\n\nSent from Outlook for Android\n\n________________________________",

            "content": "Hello Victoria,\n\nThank you for your understanding and for providing more details about your project.\n\nUnfortunately, our minimum order quantity for kidswear is strictly 250 units per style and per colour, and we are unable to accommodate smaller initial quantities like 25-50 units per style. We do not offer recommendations for smaller-production partners, as we focus on meeting our established MOQs.\n\nRegarding your request for pricing at 250 units per style, we do not provide indicative unit prices at this stage. Accurate pricing can only be determined after our technical team evaluates the specific technical specifications, materials, and construction details.\n\nFor your desired delivery date of September 2027, this timeline is feasible given our production lead times.\n\nIf you decide to proceed with the MOQ, or if you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out.\n\nThank you for considering us for your manufacturing needs.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",
