It\u2019s great to hear more \nabout Absolutarget and the services you offer.\n\nWe are a new Swedish fashion brand called Nuev\u00e9, currently in the early \nstages of developing our first collection. We are especially interested in \nworking with a manufacturer that can support us throughout the development \nprocess, from sourcing the right materials and developing the fit to \nsampling and production.\n\nFor our first product, we are looking to develop a heavyweight oversized \nhoodie in a washed black colour. We have a clear vision for the design and \nbranding, and we would like to develop the fit, material and overall quality \ntogether with the manufacturer to achieve the right result.\n\nBefore moving forward, we would love to get a better understanding of the \ncosts and possibilities. Could you please provide us with some information \nregarding the following:\n\n*\nAn estimated production price per hoodie based on an MOQ of 400 units\n\n*\nThe estimated development fee for this type of hoodie\n\n*\nHow many sample rounds are included in the development fee\n\n*\nWhether there is any possibility of starting with a lower MOQ for the first \nproduction, as we are a new brand\n\n*\nWhat heavyweight fabric options and GSM you would recommend for this type of \nhoodie\n\n*\nWhether you can produce custom neck labels, woven labels, hangtags and \npackaging\n\n*\nAn estimated shipping cost from your factory in Portugal to Sweden for \napproximately 400 units\n\n*\nWhere exactly the production would take place\n\nWe would also be happy to send over our design, logo and further details \nabout the hoodie so that you can get a better understanding of what we are \nlooking to create.\n\nWe are very interested in exploring the possibility of working together and \nwould love to hear your thoughts and recommendations based on your \nexperience.\n\nLooking forward to hearing from you!\n\nBest regards,\nNovalie\n\n\n\nDen 14 sep. 2026 kl. 17:20 skrev Matilde Azevedo \n:\n\n\n\nHi Novalie,\n\n\n\n\nThank you very much for your contact.
