I am not ready to place a bulk production order yet.\n\nIf the sample meets our expectations, I would love to explore producing a small first collection of approximately 75-150 pieces with the same manufacturer in the future.\n\nCould you please let me know whether you offer standalone sample development, what the approximate costs would be, and whether you can assist with custom pattern making and premium fabric sourcing?\n\nI would be happy to send reference images and further details.\n\nThank you very much!\n\nBest regards,\nEmma\nFounder | ISLAND PEOPLE",

Your vision for a short, fitted slip dress with delicate lace details sounds wonderful.\n\nRegarding your request for standalone sample development, at this stage, we focus on evaluating the commercial viability of projects that meet our minimum order quantities. Our standard MOQ for clothing is 200-300 units per style. Unfortunately, we do not offer standalone sample development without a commitment to a bulk production order.\n\nIf you are considering a future collection that meets our MOQ, I would be happy to assist you further. Please let me know if you have a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample for the dress, and provide your maximum target production price per style. Additionally, if you have a desired delivery timeline, please share that as well.\n\nYour designs and intellectual property are always kept strictly confidential with us by default.\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",

            "content": "Hello Matilde,\n\nThank you so much for your quick response! I really appreciate it.\n\nI completely understand your minimum order requirements, and I would definitely be open to an initial production of 200 dresses if we can achieve the quality and design I'm envisioning.\n\nAs ISLAND PEOPLE is currently preparing its first collection, finding the right long-term manufacturing partner is especially important to me.\n\nMy main priority is the fabric quality. I'm looking for an exceptionally soft, smooth and luxurious material that feels almost like a second skin, with a cashmere-like softness while still being lightweight, breathable and comfortable for sleeping.\n\nI've attached a few visual references of the slip dresses I have in mind, including the fitted silhouette and delicate lace details. These are initial design references rather than a complete technical specification.\n\nBefore moving forward, I would love to clarify a few things:\n\nSample development: If I agree in principle to an initial order of 200 dresses, would it be possible to develop and receive a physical sample first, so I can evaluate the fabric, fit and overall quality before approving bulk production?\n\nProduction timeline: Would it be possible to receive the sample now and schedule the bulk production approximately 2\u20133 months later? Is there a specific deadline for placing the production order after sample approval?\n\nCommitment and payment: Would a binding purchase commitment or deposit be required before developing the sample? And would there be a separate sample development fee?\n\nMinimum order quantities: Could the 200\u2013300 units be divided between different sizes and colours of the same design?\n\nFabric selection: Do you offer fabric swatches so I can compare different materials and find the perfect softness and feel?\n\nProduction pricing: Could you provide an indicative price range per dress based on the references attached, including the lace details?\n\nI would love to build a long-term relationship with a manufacturer who understands the vision behind ISLAND PEOPLE, and I'm excited to explore whether we could be a good fit.\n\nThank you again for your time, Matilde. I look forward to hearing from you!\n\nBest regards,\nEmma\nFounder | ISLAND PEOPLE\n\n\ufffc\n> Am 16.10.2026 um 23:46 schrieb Matilde Azevedo :\n> \n> Hello Emma,\n> \n> Thank you for reaching out and sharing your exciting project with ISLAND PEOPLE.

I appreciate your interest in building a long-term partnership with us.\n\nTo proceed, I need to gather some specific details about your project:\n\n1. **Tech Pack or Physical Sample:** Do you have a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample for the slip dress that you can provide?\n\n2. **Quantities:** You've mentioned an initial production of 200 dresses. Could you confirm if this quantity is per style, and how you plan to divide it between different sizes and colours?\n\n3. **Target Price:** What is your maximum target production price per dress?\n\n4. **Desired Delivery Timeline:** What is your desired delivery timeline for the bulk production? Please note that our minimum project cycle is 5 full calendar months from the current date.\n\nRegarding your questions:\n\n- **Sample Development:** We typically develop one sample per style for initial approval, and further samples are only made after the bulk order is placed. A sample development fee would apply, which depends on the specific product and design complexity.\n\n- **Fabric Selection:** We do not provide fabric swatches separately. Fabric selection and sourcing are part of the development process once the project details are confirmed.\n\n- **Production Pricing:** Accurate pricing can only be determined once all project requirements are fully gathered and evaluated. We do not provide indicative price ranges at this stage.\n\nOnce we have all the necessary details, we can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps.\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",

Tech Pack \/ Physical Sample\n\nAs ISLAND PEOPLE is currently developing its first collection, I don't have a completed Tech Pack or physical sample yet.\n\nHowever, I have created detailed visual references showing the design, silhouette, colours and fabric appearance I'm envisioning, which I would be happy to share with you.\n\nThe dress is a short, fitted slip dress with delicate straps, subtle lace detailing and a small embroidered IP logo.\n\nMy biggest priority is the fabric. I'm looking for an exceptionally soft, lightweight and stretchy material that gently hugs the body, almost like a second skin. A high-quality modal or micromodal blend with elastane could potentially be a good option, but I'm open to your recommendations.\n\n2. Quantities\n\nFor the initial collection, I'm considering approximately 200 dresses in one style, divided between two colours:\n\n100 dresses in cream\/off-white\n\n100 dresses in baby blue\n\nIdeally, I would like to offer sizes XS, S, M and L, with the exact size distribution to be confirmed.\n\nCould you let me know whether this colour and size distribution would be possible within your MOQ?\n\n3. Target Production Price\n\nMy ideal target production price would be approximately \u20ac5-10 per dress.\n\nI understand this is an ambitious target, particularly considering the fabric quality and details I'm looking for.\n\nI would really appreciate your honest feedback on whether this could be achievable with your production process, or whether you would recommend any adjustments to the design or materials.\n\n4. Desired Delivery Timeline\n\nAs this is my first collection, I have some flexibility regarding the delivery timeline.\n\nI understand that your minimum project cycle is five full calendar months, and I would be happy to work around this timeframe.\n\nIdeally, I would love to begin the sample development process first, evaluate the quality and fit, and then schedule the bulk production approximately 2\u20133 months after sample approval.\n\nWould this be possible within your production process, or would a binding bulk order need to be placed immediately after the sample is approved?\n\nI would also appreciate knowing the approximate sample development fee and whether the initial sample could be developed before committing financially to the full production order.\n\nI'm very passionate about building ISLAND PEOPLE into a long-term fashion and lifestyle brand, and finding a reliable manufacturing partner is an important part of that journey.\n\nThank you again for your time and consideration. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts!\n\nBest regards,\nEmma\ufffc\nFounder | ISLAND PEOPLE\n\n\n> Am 17.10.2026 um 00:06 schrieb Matilde Azevedo :\n> \n> Hello Emma,\n> \n> Thank you for your detailed response and for considering an initial production of 200 dresses.

Your vision for the slip dress with its delicate features and high-quality fabric is clear and exciting.\n\nRegarding your target production price of \u20ac5-10 per dress, unfortunately, this would not be viable for us given the quality and details you are aiming for. Our production process and the premium materials involved would require a higher budget per unit.\n\nI wish you the very best of luck with your project and hope you find a suitable partner to bring your beautiful designs to life.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",
