I look forward to\nhearing from you.\n\nKind regards,\n\nNele Vreys\nFounder, LIN.\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided attached files (LIN_Supplier_Brief_6ae50371b3575.pdf).

Your brand's focus on natural materials and timeless design is truly inspiring.\n\nRegarding your inquiry, we do work with linen-based bedding and can assist with fabric sampling and prototype development. However, before we can proceed, I need to gather some specific details about your project to ensure we can meet your needs effectively.\n\n1. **Quantities:** What is the total quantity you are looking to produce, and how many styles do you intend to create?\n2. **Desired Delivery Date:** What is your desired delivery date for the collection?\n3. **Target Price:** What is your maximum target production price per style?\n\nOnce I have these details, I can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps.\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",

I'm pleased to\nhear that you work with linen-based bedding and can support fabric sampling\nand prototype development.\n\nLIN. is currently in an early product development phase, so some of the\ncommercial details are still being explored.\n\nTo give you a better understanding of our plans:\n\n   1.\n\n   *Quantities and styles:* We intend to start with a small, carefully\n   curated collection, initially focusing on duvet covers and matching\n   pillowcases. We are exploring two fabric directions, AIRY and FULL, but\n   would prefer to begin with a limited initial production run rather than\n   commit to large quantities at this stage. We would appreciate learning more\n   about your minimum order quantities and whether you support smaller\n   emerging brands.\n   2.\n\n   *Desired delivery date:* We do not have a fixed launch date yet. Our\n   priority is to select the right materials, evaluate samples and develop a\n   product that truly reflects our vision before moving into production.\n   3.\n\n   *Target price:* We have not yet established a maximum production price,\n   as this will depend on the fabric composition, quality, finishing and\n   production quantities. We would welcome your guidance on indicative price\n   ranges for suitable linen and linen-blend bedding.\n\nAt this stage, we would be particularly interested in exploring fabric\nswatches from your existing range to better understand the available\nqualities and possibilities.\n\nThank you again for your interest. I look forward to learning more about\nhow we might work together.\n\nKind regards,\n\nNele Vreys\n\nOp vr 30 okt 2026 om 21:52 schreef Matilde Azevedo :\n\n> Hello Nele,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out and introducing LIN.

I appreciate your interest in exploring a collaboration with us.\n\nRegarding your questions:\n\n1. **Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs):** For bedding, our minimum order quantity is 500 square meters for solid colors and 1,000 square meters for printed designs. We understand that you are in the early stages, but these are our standard requirements.\n\n2. **Desired Delivery Date:** It's great to hear that you are flexible with the timeline. Please note that our production cycle requires a minimum of 5 full calendar months from the current date to ensure quality and precision.\n\n3. **Target Price:** While I understand that you are still determining your budget, we do require a maximum target production price per style to evaluate the commercial viability of the project. This helps us ensure that we can meet your expectations within your budget.\n\nRegarding fabric swatches, before any sampling or swatch shipment can be confirmed, we first need to complete the project details. Once all the project details are fully gathered and confirmed, we can discuss the next steps.\n\nPlease let me know if you can meet the MOQs and provide a target price, so we can proceed accordingly.\n\nThank you for your understanding, and I look forward to your response.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",
