            "content": "Hello,\n\nMy name is Martin, and I am the founder of RIFT, a new Norwegian running\napparel brand currently in development.\n\nWe are looking for a manufacturing partner to help us create our first\ncollection of premium running apparel.\n\nOur concept combines high-performance running fabrics with a\nvintage-inspired, distressed aesthetic.\n\nFor our first collection, we are developing two products:\n\n1. Muscle Tee =E2=80=93 Sleeveless running shirt with broad shoulders.\n2. Regular Tee =E2=80=93 Short-sleeved technical running shirt.\n\nBoth products will feature:\n\n- Lightweight, breathable and quick-drying performance fabric\n(approximately 110=E2=80=93130 GSM).\n- A vintage, sun-faded black appearance.\n- Small ventilation perforations.\n- A soft, worn-in feel.\n- Relaxed athletic fit.\n- Custom distressed graphics on the back.\n\nOur main priority is achieving a vintage cotton-like appearance while\nmaintaining the performance characteristics of a technical running garment.\n\nWe would initially like to develop one sample of each style, followed by a\nsmall production run of approximately 20 pieces per style.\n\nWe understand that our initial quantities are relatively small, but we are\nlooking for a long-term manufacturing partner as the brand grows.\n\nCould you please provide information regarding:\n\n1. Your ability to manufacture garments with these specifications.\n2. Available technical fabrics and vintage finishing techniques.\n3. Minimum order quantities (MOQ).\n4. Sample development costs.\n5. Estimated production prices for 20, 50 and 100 pieces per style.\n6. Production lead times and shipping to Norway.\n\nI have attached our initial production brief, including design references\nand product specifications.\n\nWe would appreciate your feedback on the feasibility of this project.\n\nLooking forward to hearing from you.\n\nBest regards,\nMartin Sveingard\nFounder | RIFT\nNorway\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided attached files (RIFT_DROP_001_Production_Brief_EN_6acdfff606762.docx).

I appreciate the detailed information about your brand, RIFT, and your vision for the first collection.\n\nRegarding your request, I need to clarify a few points before we can proceed:\n\n1. **Quantities:** Our minimum order quantity (MOQ) for general clothing is 200\u2013300 units per style. Your initial request for 20 pieces per style is below our MOQ. Would you be able to increase your order to meet our minimum requirements?\n\n2. **Target Price:** Could you please provide your maximum target production price per style? This will help us evaluate the commercial viability of your project.\n\n3. **Delivery Timeline:** What is your desired delivery timeline? Please note that our minimum project cycle is at least 5 full calendar months from the current date.\n\nOnce we have this information, we can better assess the feasibility of your project. Your designs and intellectual property are always kept strictly confidential with us by default.\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards,  \nMatilde Azevedo",

            "content": "Hi,\n\nThank you for your response and for outlining your production requirements.\n\nWe understand your minimum order quantities. As we are launching a new\npremium running apparel brand, our initial plan is to start with a smaller\nproduction run to test the products, gather customer feedback, and\nestablish demand before scaling.\n\nOur initial target is approximately 20\u201330 units per style, although we\nunderstand this is below your standard MOQ.\n\nOur preliminary target production price is approximately \u20ac10\u201313 per unit,\ndepending on the fabric, construction, finishing, and order quantity.\n\nRegarding the timeline, we are flexible and would ideally aim for a\nspring\/summer 2027 launch.\n\nBefore considering a larger order, we would like to ask:\n\n   1.\n\n   Do you offer sample development or prototype production without\n   committing to your full MOQ?\n   2.\n\n   Would a smaller pilot order of approximately 40\u201360 units in total be\n   possible at a higher unit price?\n   3.\n\n   Do you have existing lightweight technical running fabrics and standard\n   garment patterns that could help reduce minimum order quantities and\n   development costs?\n\nWe are also currently finalizing our brand name, so RIFT should be\nconsidered a working project name for now.\n\nWe are very interested in developing a long-term manufacturing partnership\nand would appreciate knowing whether there is a suitable way to start on a\nsmaller scale.\n\nBest regards,\nMartin\n\ntir. 13. okt. 2026 kl. 11:55 skrev Matilde Azevedo :\n\n> Hello Martin,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out and sharing your exciting project with us.

            "content": "Hello Martin,\n\nThank you for your detailed response and for understanding our production requirements.\n\nRegarding your questions:\n\n1. **Sample Development:** We do offer sample development, but it is important to note that we typically develop one sample per style for initial approval. Further samples can be developed after placing the final bulk production order.\n\n2. **Pilot Order:** Unfortunately, our minimum order quantities are non-negotiable, and we cannot accommodate a smaller pilot order of 40\u201360 units. Our MOQ for general clothing is strictly 200\u2013300 units per style.\n\n3. **Existing Fabrics and Patterns:** While we have a range of technical fabrics and standard garment patterns, our MOQ remains the same. These resources are intended to enhance the quality and efficiency of production rather than reduce minimum order quantities.\n\nGiven your current target production price of \u20ac10\u201313 per unit, I must inform you that this falls below our internal reference price for similar products. Unfortunately, this means the project would not be viable for us at this stage. We wish you the very best of luck with your project.\n\nIf you decide to adjust your quantities or budget in the future, please feel free to reach out.\n\nBest regards,  \nMatilde Azevedo",
