I\u2019m hoping to work with one factory that can cover all of the following, and I\u2019d love to know if this fits within your network.\nI\u2019m looking for fabric samples for three garment types:\n1.\tAthletic wear \u2013 95% organic cotton, 5% spandex\n2.     Cotton top \u2013 organic cotton\n3.\tSilk dress \u2013 silk\nA few questions to help me understand fit:\n\u2022\tCan these three fabric types be sourced and produced within the same factory in your network, or would they be split across different facilities?\n\u2022\tDo you have experience with silk cut and sew specifically, and could you share any past examples?\n\u2022\tWhat are your typical MOQs for a custom cut and sew order at this stage, given I\u2019m starting small with just a few styles?\n\u2022\tWhat is the process and lead time for receiving fabric samples?\nI\u2019d appreciate any guidance you can offer, and I\u2019m happy to share more details about the designs once I hear back.\n\nThank you,\nVeronica Shenton",

However, I must clarify that we do not sell raw fabric rolls or fabric samples separately. Our focus is on manufacturing complete garments.\n\nTo better assist you with your production needs, I would need some additional information:\n\n1. **Product Category**: Could you specify the types of garments you intend to produce (e.g., T-shirts, dresses, etc.)?\n2. **Quantities**: What is the total quantity you are considering, and how many styles do you plan to create?\n3. **Target Price**: What is your target production price per style?\n\nRegarding your specific technical requirements and machinery, I cannot confirm this at my level. I have gathered your project details and will forward them to our technical team. They will analyze your requirements and confirm directly with you if our facilities have the exact capabilities to develop your product.\n\nOnce I have these details, I can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps.",

            "content": "Hi Matilde,Thank you for the detailed breakdown, this is really helpful.Just to clarify on the MOQs, since I will be launching with 5 sizes per style: does the 200-300 unit minimum apply across all 5 sizes combined, or is 200 units required per size? I want to make sure I understand the total unit commitment before confirming quantities.Similarly, on the 100 units per colours minimum, does that count within the 200 to 300 per style, or is it in addition to it? This matters for how many colours I can offer at launch.regards,VeronicaOn 8 Aug 2026, at 4:36\u202fpm, Matilde Azevedo <info@portugaltextile.com> wrote:\ufeffThank you for providing more details, Veronica.

So, you would need a combined total of 200\u2013300 units for each style, not per size.\n- The minimum of 100 units per color is included within the 200\u2013300 units per style. This means you can have multiple colors as long as each color meets the minimum of 100 units and the total per style is within the 200\u2013300 range.\n\nPlease let me know if this aligns with your plans, and if you are able to meet these minimums for your launch.
