            "content": "Hi Matilde,\n\nThank you ? glad it's moving to your technical team. Let me know if they need more information.\n\nOn your two questions:\n\nTarget price. I will be very transparent. We?re currently in touch with several partners across Portugal and Turkey, and we're well aware that the Portuguese cost structure isn't directly comparable. However, that's fine as we're not optimizing for the lowest unit price. We're looking for a long-term, sustainable partner with excellent quality as the baseline. For that reason, naming a target price doesn't make sense from our side. Instead, we'd appreciate your price ranges per style across a few order quantities (e.g. 1k \/ 5k \/ 10k pairs), so we can understand your production and economies of scale.\n\nTimeline. We plan on launching D2C in the DACH region end October 2026, so we're targeting delivery of the initial run by early-to-mid October 2026 ? sampling in August, production order confirmed by end of August \/ early September. Do you plan to have a Summer break in your site?\n\nFurther, it would be great if you could provide us with more information on references \/ credentials from your side.\n\nDoes this work for you?\n\nThank you very much.\n\nBest regards,\nPatrick Bantle\nCEO & Co-Founder\n\nP +491716103569\nM patrick@basely-label.de\n\nbasely GmbH\nF?rbergraben 20\n80331 M?nchen\nHRB 312527 Amtsgericht B M?nchen | Gesch?ftsf?hrer: Tobias Nickel, Patrick Bantle\n\nInformation contained in this message is confidential and may be legally privileged.

Happy to give your technical team concrete numbers to work against.\n\nOur target FOB prices per pair for the 3 styles including the paper band packaging (approx. 6,000 pairs, 3 styles ? 2-3 sizes):\n\nStyle 01 - Lettuce Edge: ?2.60\/ pair\nStyle 02 - Crew: ?2.20 \/ pair\nStyle 03 - Classic Tennis: 2.20? \/pair\n\n\nThese are targets, not hard limits based on the upcoming volumes we are aiming for. If a style is tight at these levels, tell us where and why and we'll look at it together; construction and quality come first. We'd also expect pricing to improve with volume ? from Drop 2 onwards we're planning increased demand at materially larger quantities.\n\nOn timeline: thanks for the heads-up on the August break.
