We are two young\nentrepreneurs preparing to launch a unisex children\u2019s clothing brand.\n\nFor our first collection, we are developing a small range of T-shirts,\nshorts and trousers. We have our own ideas for the garments, fits and\ndesigns. We would also like to know whether it is possible to use fabrics\nselected or supplied by us, as well as fabrics sourced through your network.\n\nFor this first collection, we are mainly interested in using existing\nprinted fabrics. However, we may also want to develop a custom fabric\nfeaturing our own pattern, either now or for a future collection.\n\nWe are looking for a production partner who can support us with product\ndevelopment, fabric sourcing, sampling and final production.\n\nCould you please provide us with more information about the following?\n\n   -\n\n   What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ) per style, colour and fabric?\n   -\n\n   Does the MOQ apply to the total production or separately to each style\n   and colour?\n   -\n\n   Which textile wholesalers, fabric mills and suppliers do you work with?\n   -\n\n   Could you send us a catalogue or selection of existing printed fabrics\n   that are currently available?\n   -\n\n   Can these fabrics be reordered for future production runs, or are they\n   only available in limited quantities?\n   -\n\n   Can you source existing printed fabrics that are suitable and certified\n   for children\u2019s clothing, for example according to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 or\n   GOTS?\n   -\n\n   Would it also be possible for us to supply our own fabrics for\n   production?\n   -\n\n   If we decide to develop a custom fabric with our own pattern, what would\n   the approximate development, sampling and production costs be?\n   -\n\n   What is the minimum fabric order, in metres, for a custom pattern?\n   -\n\n   What are the approximate costs of developing one new garment style based\n   on our own ideas for the fit and design?\n   -\n\n   What is included in these costs, such as pattern making, grading, an\n   initial prototype and a size set?\n   -\n\n   What is the average sample cost per style?\n   -\n\n   What approximate production price should we expect for a small\n   production run?\n   -\n\n   We read that you require tech packs. Can you help us prepare them, or do\n   we need to provide fully completed tech packs ourselves?\n   -\n\n   Can you also provide branded labels, care labels, hangtags and packaging?\n   -\n\n   What are your usual lead times for development, sampling and production?\n   -\n\n   What are your payment terms?\n   -\n\n   Are there any additional development, sourcing, setup or administration\n   costs that we should take into account?\n   -\n\n   Which parts of the process are completed in your own facility and which\n   are handled by production partners?\n\nWe already have several ideas for the designs, fits and overall look of our\nfirst collection. If desired, we would be happy to share them with you so\nthat you can get a better understanding of Cabinos and our plans.\n\nThank you very much for your time. We would be pleased to hear whether\nPortugalTextile could be a suitable production partner for Cabinos.\n\nKind regards,\n\nCarmen and Birgen\nFounders of Cabinos",

It's wonderful to hear about your vision for a unisex children's clothing brand. To provide you with the most accurate information and support, I'll need to gather some specific details about your project.\n\n1. **Brand**: Since you are starting a new brand, I understand you may not have a website yet. Could you confirm if this is correct?\n\n2. **Location**: Could you please let me know which country you are based in?\n\n3. **Product Category**: You've mentioned T-shirts, shorts, and trousers. Could you confirm if these are the only items you plan to produce in your first collection?\n\n4. **Tech Packs\/Samples**: Do you have a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample for these designs? If not, do you have links to similar products?\n\n5. **Quantities**: What is the total quantity you plan to produce, and how many styles do you intend to create? Please note that our minimum order quantity for general clothing is 200\u2013300 units per style.\n\n6. **Timeline**: What is your desired delivery date for the collection?\n\n7. **Target Price**: What is your target production price per style?\n\nRegarding your questions:\n\n- Our minimum order quantity applies separately to each style and color.\n- We do not provide a catalogue of fabrics, but we can source fabrics through our network. However, we do not disclose specific suppliers or mills.\n- We hold the GOTS certification, ensuring our commitment to environmentally and socially responsible production.\n- You can supply your own fabrics for production.\n- The cost of developing a custom fabric and garment style depends on the complexity of the design. We will need to evaluate your Tech Pack or physical sample to provide a proper quotation.\n- We do not assist in preparing Tech Packs; you will need to provide them.\n- We can provide branded labels, care labels, and hangtags, but not separately.\n- Our lead times for development, sampling, and production are approximately 5 months.\n- Payment terms are 50% advance and 50% before shipping.\n- Development fees and additional costs depend on the specific requirements of your project.\n- We have our own production facilities for some product categories and work with specialized partners for others.\n\nOnce I have the details above, I can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps.

Please find our answers below.\n\n   1.\n\n   Brand\n   That is correct. Cabi=C3=B1os is a new brand, and we do not have a websi=\nte\n   yet.\n   2.\n\n   Location\n   We are based in both the Netherlands and Spain. However, the company\n   will be officially registered in the Netherlands.\n   3.\n\n   Product category\n   For our first collection, we are currently planning five different\n   styles:\n\n\n   -\n\n   Two different trouser designs\n   -\n\n   Two different shorts designs\n   -\n\n   One T-shirt design\n\nWe intend to produce all five styles in multiple colours.\n\nWe have attached a design for each style to this email, so you can get a\nbetter understanding of our ideas, fits and overall direction.\n\n   4.\n\n   Tech packs and samples\n   At the moment, we have our design concepts, but we do not yet have\n   complete tech packs or physical samples.\n\nWe understand that you require complete tech packs before you can provide\nan accurate quotation. In the meantime, would the attached designs be\nsufficient for an initial assessment of the feasibility, expected\nproduction costs and development requirements?\n\n   5.\n\n   Quantities and MOQ\n   Thank you for clarifying that your minimum order quantity of 200=E2=80=\n=93300\n   units applies separately to each style and colour.\n\nCan the MOQ for each style and colour be divided across different\nchildren=E2=80=99s sizes?\n\nFor example, if we order 200 units of one trouser design in one colour,\ncould those 200 units be divided across several sizes, such as 86\/92,\n98\/104 and 110\/116?\n\nWe would also like to know whether you use a minimum quantity per size\nwithin this distribution.\n\nOnce we understand how the different sizes can be divided within the MOQ,\nwe will be able to determine a realistic total quantity for our first\ncollection.\n\n   6.\n\n   Timeline\n   We do not yet have a fixed delivery date. Ideally, we would like the\n   collection to be ready for the upcoming summer season, preferably before\n   May 2027.\n\nConsidering your approximate five-month lead time, when would you recommend\nthat we submit the final tech packs, confirm the fabrics and begin the\ndevelopment process?\n\n   7.\n\n   Target production price\n   Could you please clarify what you mean by =E2=80=9Ctarget production pri=\nce per\n   style=E2=80=9D?\n\nAre you asking for our desired production cost per individual garment=E2=80=\n=94for\nexample, a target price per T-shirt, pair of shorts or pair of trousers=E2=\n=80=94or\nthe total development and production budget for each style?\n\nAs this is our first collection, we are still determining realistic target\nprices. If possible, an indicative price range based on the attached\ndesigns and your minimum quantities would help us establish an appropriate\nbudget.\n\nWe would also be interested to know whether you can already provide an\napproximate range for the following:\n\n   -\n\n   Pattern making and grading per style\n   -\n\n   First prototype or sample per style\n   -\n\n   Size-set samples\n   -\n\n   Production cost per garment\n   -\n\n   Custom labels, care labels and hangtags\n   -\n\n   Fabric sourcing and any relevant minimum fabric quantities\n\nThank you again for your time and guidance.
