            "content": "Hi,\n\n\n\n\nThank you very much for your detailed message and for explaining your \nprocess and requirements.\n\nI am very interested in moving forward with the project and would be happy \nto provide you with the information you need.\n\n\n\n\nAt this stage, I have visual designs and references for the models I would \nlike to develop, but I do not yet have a technical pack or physical samples, \nas the collection is currently at the design and development stage.\n\n\n\n\nWould it be possible for your team to develop the technical packs based on \nmy designs and visual references? If so, could you please let me know the \ncost of this service and what information you would need from me?\n\n\n\n\nRegarding the production target price, I would also appreciate some \nguidance. By \u201ctarget production price\u201d, do you mean the maximum price I \nwould like to pay per unit for manufacturing the garment, excluding the \nretail price? If possible, I would also be interested in knowing the \napproximate production price range for a project similar to mine, depending \non the materials and details involved.\n\n\n\n\nI can send you the visual designs of the models I have in mind so that you \ncan have a better understanding of the collection and assess the project.\n\nRegarding the MOQ, I am planning to develop approximately 3 to 4 different \nstyles, with 3 colours per style.\n\n\n\n\nI understand that the minimum quantity is 200 units per style, with a \nminimum of 100 units per colour. This would work for my project. For \nexample, for one style, I could order 200 units divided into two colours, \nwith 100 units per colour. I would then apply the same principle to the \nother styles, depending on the final colour selection.\n\n\n\n\nI would also appreciate it if you could clarify whether the development fee \nincludes the creation of the first prototype based on my designs, and how \nmany rounds of modifications are generally possible before placing the final \nproduction order.\n\nI would also like to mention that I am Portuguese, so being based in \nPortugal is particularly convenient for me. Regarding shipping, would it be \npossible for me to come directly to your factory to collect the finished \nproducts myself rather than arranging external shipping?\n\n\n\n\nAdditionally, if possible, I would be very interested in visiting your \nfactory during the development process. I would love to be able to discuss \nthe designs and materials directly with your team, see the prototypes in \nperson, and, if possible, follow and exchange with you throughout the \nmanufacturing process. Please let me know if visits to the factory can be \narranged and at which stages of the process this would be possible.\n\n\n\n\nThank you again for your time and for your help. I look forward to hearing \nfrom you and will be happy to send you my designs and any additional \ninformation you may need.\n\n\n\n\nBest regards,\n\n\n\n\nLena Marques\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLe 27 ao\u00fbt 2026 \u00e0 11:17, Matilde Azevedo  a \n\u00e9crit :\n\n\n\n\ufeff\n\nHi Marques,\n\n\n\n\nThank you very much for your contact.

            "content": "Hello Lena,\n\nThank you for reaching out and providing detailed information about your project. I appreciate your interest in working with us.\n\nRegarding your questions:\n\n1. **Tech Pack Development**: Unfortunately, we do not offer services to develop Tech Packs from visual designs or references. We require either a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample to proceed with the project. If you have a Physical Sample, we can work from that once all other project details are confirmed.\n\n2. **Target Production Price**: Yes, the target production price refers to the maximum price you are willing to pay per unit for manufacturing, excluding the retail price. We do not provide approximate production price ranges at this stage, as accurate pricing depends on the technical specifications, materials, construction, and final quantities.\n\n3. **MOQ and Quantities**: Your understanding of the MOQ is correct. For each style, a minimum of 200 units is required, with at least 100 units per colour. Please confirm the exact quantities per style and colour you plan to produce.\n\n4. **Development Fee**: The development fee includes the creation of the first prototype based on your designs. Adjustments can only be made after placing the final production order.\n\n5. **Shipping and Factory Visits**: While you are welcome to arrange your own shipping, we operate on an EXW (Ex Works) basis, meaning we are not responsible for the goods once they leave our factory. Regarding factory visits, we do not arrange visits at this initial stage. Once the project is approved and in progress, our technical team will be in touch to discuss any potential visits.\n\nPlease let me know if you have any further questions or if you would like to proceed with providing the necessary details for your project.\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",
