We are currently\nsetting up our supply chain and are looking for reliable manufacturing\npartners in Portugal.\n\nWe deliberately prefer working with smaller, highly skilled factories. Our\ngoal is not just to place an order, but to build a close, direct, and\nlong-term relationship with our producers.\n\nWe are looking to produce premium garments with a strong focus on\nhigh-quality fabrics, precise cuts, and durability. Our first drop will\nconsist of Denim Jeans, Heavyweight T-shirts and either Zip-up hoodies or\nButton-up shirts. In our first drop we want to make use of embroidery as\nwell as screen printing.\n\n(Note: We understand that denim and jersey are often handled by different\nspecialized facilities. Please let us know if your expertise covers both,\nor if you specialize in one specific area.)\n\nStarting with our initial launch in May 2027, our business model is based\non a strict release schedule, dropping new collections every 3 months.\nTherefore, reliability, consistent quality, and clear communication are our\ntop priorities.\n\nTechnical Requirements:\n\nWe are aiming for a limited design approach where each shirt is unique.\nWhile all shirts share the same core design, a specific section of each\npiece will feature a pattern that varies from one shirt to another, making\nevery item unique.   * Printing Method: This requires high-quality digital\ntextile printing (e.g., reactive printing, sublimation, or advanced DTG)\nOR: Individual embroidery for each piece.\n\n-> The factory must be willing to work with variable print files for each\nbatch, rather than printing one identical screenprint thousands of times.\n\nFactory Visit \u2013 April 27th to May 5th: My co-founders and I will be\ntraveling to Portugal from April 27th to May 5th to visit potential\nproduction partners in person. We hope its possible for us to make\nappointments via your sourcing agency in this Timeframe.\n\nIf our visions align with your capabilities, we hope its possible for us to\nmake an appointment for you in this timeframe. We would like to schedule a\nmeeting and a brief factory tour during our upcoming trip.\n\nBefore we finalize a meeting, we would love to know:\n\n1.        Do you handle premium jersey, denim, or (in best case) both?\n\n2.        Are you open to collaborate with an emerging brand and maintain a\nclose partnership?\n\n3.        What is your MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) for these Categories?\n\n4.        Do you already have an idea on how you could implement the\npattern Idea in your factory?\n\n5.        Can you pinpoint a rough price outline\/per piece (e.g. 1.000\npieces total)\n\nWe look forward to hearing from you.\n\nBest regards,\n\nIan L\u00f6\u00dfl\n\n\n\nMDCL studio GmbH i.g.\n\nTel.: +4915750340415\n\nMail: ian-loessl@mdcl-studio.com",

It is great to hear about your vision for a premium streetwear brand, and your focus on building long-term relationships aligns perfectly with our philosophy.\n\nTo answer your initial questions, we work with a network of highly skilled, specialized factories across Portugal, which allows us to expertly handle both premium jersey and denim productions. Our minimum order quantity is generally 200-300 units per style.\n\nRegarding the unique pattern idea and pricing, these are excellent points that our technical team will need to analyze. To move forward with a proper assessment, I just need a few more details.\n\nTo provide you with an accurate quotation for your project, I need the following details:\n\n1.  **Designs:** Do you have a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample to send us for each style (Jeans, T-shirt, Hoodie\/Shirt)?\n2.  **Quantities:** What is the quantity you are planning per style and per color?\n3.  **Target Price:** What is your target production price per style, indicated separately for each style?\n\nRegarding your upcoming trip to Portugal, that sounds like a great initiative. Once we have the details above and can make a preliminary analysis, we can certainly explore the possibility of arranging a meeting.\n\nOnce I have these details, I can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps.",

            "content": "Hello Ian,\n\nThank you for providing those details.\n\nThat is perfectly fine regarding the tech packs; we can certainly wait until they are finalized.\n\nRegarding the quantities, our minimum production requirement is 200 units per style. For the jeans and button-up shirts, we would need to meet this minimum to proceed with our specialized factories.\n\nFor simpler items like T-shirts, if the quantity is below this 200-unit minimum, we might not be the best fit for the production run itself. However, you might find that a service like www.privatelabelclothes.com is better suited for smaller batches of these specific items, so please feel free to see if they can meet your needs for those pieces.\n\nOnce we can confirm the quantities align with our minimums and you have the tech packs ready for our team to review, we can definitely look into scheduling a meeting during your visit to Portugal.",
