I\u2019m aiming for a premium feel at a retail price of approximately \u00a320\u2013\u00a325 per garment.\n\nBefore sharing the detailed designs, I\u2019d love to understand whether your services would be a suitable fit. Could you please advise on:\n\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Your experience manufacturing babywear, with examples of previous work.\n\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Minimum order quantities and whether these can be split across designs, sizes and sleeve styles.\n\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Support available for fabric sourcing, custom prints and technical development.\n\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Indicative sampling and development costs.\n\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Typical sampling and production lead times.\n\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Testing and documentation you provide for babywear sold in the UK.\n\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Your approach to confidentiality and ownership of customers\u2019 designs, artwork and patterns.\n\nI\u2019m planning to start with a small collection and expand over time, so I\u2019d welcome your advice on a practical starting quantity.\n\nIf this sounds like a suitable project, I\u2019d be happy to arrange a call and share a more detailed brief and concept visuals.\n\nThank you, and I look forward to hearing from you.\n\nKind regards,\nLaura,\nOur Little Lives",

I\u2019m also still developing the technical specifications, so it looks as though we may be a little early in our journey to work together.\n\nI would love to keep your details and reconnect as the brand grows and we\u2019re ready to explore larger production runs.\n\nThank you again for your time. I hope we\u2019ll have the opportunity to work together in the future.\n\nKind regards,\nLaura Clarke\nOur Little Lives\n\n\n    On Friday, 16 October 2026 at 18:44:09 BST, Matilde Azevedo  wrote:  \n \n Hello Laura,\n\nThank you for reaching out and sharing your exciting project with Our Little Lives.
