Please find below the additional commercial information for the\nproject.\n\n*1. Quantities*\n\nAs this will be ALOYA\u2019s first collection, we would ideally like to start\nwith approximately *100\u2013150 pieces per style*, with the possibility of\ndividing the quantity between the three reversible color\/design\ncombinations presented in the brief.\n\nWe are, however, open to discussing your minimum order requirements, as I\nunderstand that fabric sourcing, custom colors and printing may affect the\nMOQ.\n\nCould you please let me know what your minimum quantity would be per style\nand whether it can be divided between different reversible color\ncombinations?\n\n*2. Target production price*\n\nALOYA is intended to be positioned as a *premium but accessible activewear\nbrand*, with a strong focus on product quality, comfort, design and the\nreversible concept rather than competing primarily on price.\n\nAt this early development stage, our indicative target would be\napproximately:\n\n   -\n\n   Sports bras: *\u20ac15\u201322 per unit*\n   -\n\n   Shorts: *\u20ac15\u201320 per unit*\n\nHowever, these are initial targets rather than strict maximum prices. As\nthe reversible construction is technically more complex than conventional\nactivewear, I would be very interested in your production team\u2019s assessment\nof what is realistically achievable based on our specifications, quantities\nand European production.\n\nQuality and successful execution of the reversible concept are priorities\nfor us.\n\n*3. Development timeline & desired delivery date*\n\nOur target for the *final bulk production would be around March 2027*.\n\nHowever, we would like to begin the development process *as soon as we\nreach an agreement with the right manufacturing partner*.\n\nOnce the technical feasibility, commercial conditions and development\nprocess are agreed, we would be ready to move forward immediately with *fabric\nswatches, material selection and the first prototypes\/samples*.\n\nWe expect the development phase to include fabric and color approval,\ninitial prototypes, fitting and revisions, grading and a final\npre-production sample before bulk production.\n\nMarch 2027 is therefore our target for the finished production, but we\nwould prefer to start sampling and product development as soon as possible\nto allow enough time to achieve the right quality and fully validate the\nreversible construction.\n\nOnce the commercial file has been reviewed, I would be very happy for the\nproject to move to your production team so that we can evaluate the\ntechnical feasibility of the fully reversible construction.\n\nThank you again for your time and consideration.\n\nI look forward to hearing from you regarding your MOQ and whether these\ncommercial parameters could work for your production.\n\nKind regards,\n\nRomane \u2013 ALOYA\n\nLe jeu. 17 sept. 2026 \u00e0 18:14, Matilde Azevedo  a\n\u00e9crit :\n\n> Hello Romane,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out and providing the detailed information about\n> ALOYA.

We understand that a fully reversible garment with\nequivalent finishing on both sides is more technically demanding than\nconventional activewear, and we do not want to compromise the quality or\nexecution of the concept simply to reach a specific price.\n\nRather than setting an arbitrary higher ceiling at this stage, could you\nplease give me an indication of the *realistic production price range your\nteam would expect for this type of reversible construction*, based on\napproximately 200 units per style?\n\nThis would allow us to evaluate the project based on realistic\nmanufacturing costs and determine the appropriate positioning and retail\npricing for ALOYA.\n\nIf the MOQ structure and indicative price range are workable, I would be\nhappy to move forward promptly with the next stage and begin the technical\ndiscussion, fabric sourcing, swatches and prototype development.\n\nMarch 2027 remains our target for final production, so we are ready to\nbegin the development process as soon as the commercial and technical\nfeasibility is confirmed.\n\nThank you again, Matilde.\n\nI look forward to your feedback.\n\n\n\nLe mar. 22 sept. 2026 \u00e0 11:07, Matilde Azevedo  a\n\u00e9crit :\n\n> Hello Romane,\n>\n> Thank you for providing the additional details.\n>\n> Regarding the quantities, our minimum order quantity (MOQ) for activewear\n> such as sports bras and shorts is typically 200 units per style.\n> Unfortunately, the quantities you mentioned (100\u2013150 pieces per style) are\n> below our standard MOQ.
