My goal is to build a \nwaiting list first, present the collection to my potential customers, and \nthen open pre-orders before placing the production order.\n\nThis approach is very important to me for the first launch because I want to \navoid producing a large quantity of garments without knowing the actual \ndemand. It would allow me to launch the brand in a more controlled and \nsustainable way, while also ensuring that production is based on real \ncustomer orders.\n\nFor this reason, at this stage, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to \nreach your standard MOQ of 200\u2013300 units per style or 100 units per colour.\n\nHowever, I am very interested in working with your company and I would like \nto know whether you might have a solution for a first production run with \nlower quantities, specifically for a new brand launching through pre-orders.\n\nIf the first launch is successful and demand is confirmed, my intention \nwould of course be to increase production quantities for subsequent \ncollections and work within your standard MOQs.\n\nI am currently working on the technical packs for the styles and will be \nable to provide them as soon as they are ready.\n\nCould you please let me know if this type of launch model could be \nconsidered and whether there is any flexibility regarding the MOQ for a \nfirst production?\n\nThank you again for your time and for considering my project.\n\nI look forward to hearing from you.\n\nBest regards,\nSoulaika\n\n\n\nLe lun. 17 ao\u00fbt 2026 \u00e0 16:08, Matilde Azevedo  a \u00e9crit :\n\n\n\n\nHi soula,\n\n\n\n\nThank you very much for your contact.

            "content": "Hello Soulaika,\n\nThank you for reaching out and sharing your launch strategy with me. I understand your approach to starting with a pre-order model to gauge demand before committing to larger production quantities. However, our minimum order quantities (MOQs) are strictly non-negotiable, and we require a minimum of 200\u2013300 units per style.\n\nFor basic apparel items like T-shirts, hoodies, shorts, or sweatpants, if you are looking for lower quantities, I recommend visiting www.privatelabelclothes.com, which might better suit your needs for a smaller initial run.\n\nIf you decide to proceed with our standard MOQs in the future, we would be delighted to assist you in bringing your collection to life. Please let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can help you with.\n\nBest regards.",
