Since you \nmentioned that you don't have a Tech Pack or physical samples yet, we \ncan work from the image reference you provided as a starting point.\n\nRegarding your questions:\n\n1. MOQ per Design: For blankets, our minimum order quantity is typically \n500 units per style. Unfortunately, combining different colourways to \nmeet the MOQ for one design is not possible. Each style and colourway \nmust meet the MOQ independently. Gina: We're a new brand launching our \nfirst collection, so we're hoping to keep the MOQ low, with the aim of \ngrowing our orders over time. Is there any flexibility on the MOQ? We've \nseen other factories offer MOQs closer to 100 units per style, including \nmultiple colourways combined. We'd like to understand if something in \nthat range could work with you.\n\n2. Indicative Price Range: I'm unable to provide a price range at this \nstage. Accurate pricing depends on the technical specifications, \nmaterials, construction, and final quantities. Our technical team needs \nto evaluate the project before confirming a quotation. Could you please \nindicate your maximum target production price per style? Gina: \nUnderstood. To help you assess this, I can confirm the specification: \n100% organic cotton with a brushed finish, as shown in the photo. Do you \nwork with this material? It's a jacquard weave in 2 colours, with the \nedge stitching in a contrasting colour, and the size is 70 x 90 cm. \nWe're still new to blanket manufacturing, so we don't have a fixed \ntarget price yet but based on this specification, do you think a price \nunder EUR10 per blanket would be feasible? That would help us understand \nif this is a realistic direction before we go further.\n\n3. Production Lead Times: Our typical production lead time is \napproximately 10-14 weeks after order placement. However, the total \ncycle, including sampling and development, is a minimum of 5 months. \nPlease note that factory closures in August and December may add \nadditional delays. Gina: Understood, so around 5 months minimum for the \nfull cycle from initial development through to final product.\nThank you again for your time\u00b4Matilde.

Let's address your points:\n\n1. **MOQ Flexibility:** Our standard MOQ for blankets is 500 units per style, and unfortunately, we are unable to lower this requirement. Each style and colourway must meet the MOQ independently. While other factories might offer lower MOQs, our focus is on maintaining high-quality standards, which requires a certain scale of production.\n\n2. **Target Price:** We do work with 100% organic cotton and can accommodate a brushed finish and jacquard weave as specified. However, a target price under EUR 10 per blanket is not feasible given the material and construction requirements. Our internal reference for similar products is higher, and we would need to discuss a more realistic budget to proceed.\n\n3. **Production Lead Times:** Yes, the full cycle from initial development to final product is approximately 5 months, considering our production lead times and factory closures.\n\nIf you have any flexibility regarding the MOQ or target price, please let me know.
