We are in\nthe process of launching our first nightwear collection and are looking for\na production partner in Portugal with experience in sleepwear and access to\nquality sustainable fabrics.\n\n\n\nWe were drawn to Portugal Textile by your fabric sourcing expertise and\nyour network of Portuguese factories. As a new brand, having a partner who\ncan advise on the right materials for nightwear- softness, breathability,\nand drape- is something we value greatly alongside the production itself.\n\n\n\nOur collection spans three sets with varying silhouettes and fabrics:\nwide-leg cotton trousers with lace trim, linen blouses and pants, and a\nstretchy striped co-ord set. All tech packs are completed and ready to\nshare.\n\n\n\nWe would appreciate understanding:\n\n   -\n\n   Your process for new brands and how MOQs are determined after reviewing\n   tech packs\n   -\n\n   Whether your production partners hold certifications such as GOTS or\n   OEKO-TEX\n   -\n\n   Whether you work directly with a factory or coordinate with multiple\n   production partners\n   -\n\n   Timeline from initial contact to first samples\n   -\n\n   Examples of previous work or client brands we could reference\n\n\n\nWe are a small brand at the start of our journey, but we are well-prepared\nand serious about finding the right long-term partner. Would you be open to\nan introductory call or email exchange to explore whether there is a good\nfit?\n\n\n\nThank you for your time.\n\n\n\nBest regards,\n\nIndia Rijken\nCo-founder Maison MAF, info@maisonmaf.com, Maarssen, the Netherlands",

It's exciting to hear about your upcoming nightwear collection, and we appreciate your interest in partnering with Portugal Textile.\n\nTo better assist you, I need to gather some specific details about your project:\n\n1. **Quantities:** Could you please specify the total quantity you intend to produce and how many styles you have in mind?\n2. **Desired Delivery Date:** What is your desired delivery date for the collection?\n3. **Target Price:** What is your maximum target production price per style?\n\nRegarding your questions:\n\n- **Certifications:** We hold the GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification, which guarantees our commitment to environmentally and socially responsible production.\n- **Production Partners:** We work with a network of experienced Portuguese factories to ensure the highest quality.\n- **Timeline:** The timeline from initial contact to first samples typically involves a development phase of 6\u20138 weeks, followed by a production phase of 10\u201314 weeks after order placement.

            "content": "Dear Matilde,\n\nThank you for your prompt and detailed response, the information on\ntimelines and certifications is very helpful.\n\nWe are planning a debut collection of three sets (top + bottom each), with\nan initial run of approximately 100\u2013200 units per set. The size\ndistribution would reflect our target customer, predominantly S and M, with\na smaller allocation of XS, L, and XL. We are happy to share an exact size\nbreakdown once we are further into the process.\n\nMoreover, we are aiming to launch the collection in early 2027. Working\nback from your indicated timelines (6\u20138 weeks development + 10\u201314 weeks\nproduction), we would ideally begin the sampling phase by September\/October\n2026 to allow sufficient time for revisions and to account for any holiday\nfactory closures.\n\nAs this is our first experience with production, we are relatively new to\ncreating a production price, so take this into account. Currently, we are\nconsidering a production price of approximately \u20ac18\u2013\u20ac25 per set (top +\nbottom combined), based on our understanding of Portuguese manufacturing\ncosts at our volume. We recognise this is directional and will depend on\nfabric choice and construction details, we are happy to be guided by your\nteam once you have reviewed our tech packs.\n\nAll three designs have completed tech packs ready to share. Our collection\nincludes a mix of fabrications, a flowy wide-leg cotton set with lace\ndetailing, a linen blouse and wide-leg trouser set, and a stretch jersey\nstriped long-sleeve and shorts co-ord. Our sets do have many fabrication\ndetails, such as ruffles and buttons. Sustainability is central to our\nbrand, and we are glad to hear you hold GOTS certification.\n\nPlease let us know whether there is any additional information you need\nfrom us at this stage.\n\nKind regards,\n\nIndia Rijken\nCo-founder Maison MAF, info@maisonmaf.com, Maarssen, the Netherlands\n\nOp vr 18 sep 2026 om 13:41 schreef Matilde Azevedo :\n\n> Hello India,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out to us and sharing information about Maison MAF.\n> It's exciting to hear about your upcoming nightwear collection, and we\n> appreciate your interest in partnering with Portugal Textile.\n>\n> To better assist you, I need to gather some specific details about your\n> project:\n>\n> 1. *Quantities:* Could you please specify the total quantity you intend\n> to produce and how many styles you have in mind?\n> 2. *Desired Delivery Date:* What is your desired delivery date for the\n> collection?\n> 3. *Target Price:* What is your maximum target production price per style?\n>\n> Regarding your questions:\n>\n> - *Certifications:* We hold the GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard)\n> certification, which guarantees our commitment to environmentally and\n> socially responsible production.\n> - *Production Partners:* We work with a network of experienced Portuguese\n> factories to ensure the highest quality.\n> - *Timeline:* The timeline from initial contact to first samples\n> typically involves a development phase of 6\u20138 weeks, followed by a\n> production phase of 10\u201314 weeks after order placement.
