            "content": "Good morning,\n \nMy name is Thomas Aljets, founder of Just a Good Thing \u2014 a social business based in Berlin producing sustainable basics. I am currently evaluating several production partners in Portugal in parallel. This is not about pushing prices down \u2014 it is about finding the right long-term partner.\nWe make timeless basics in the Bauhaus tradition: simple, durable, no hype. 100% GOTS organic cotton, Made in Portugal, 100% of surplus goes to social projects.\n \nWe are starting with two products in four core colours (White, Black, Navy, Grey):\n \n- Basic T-shirt: plain version (private label only) + version with small front print or embroidery (~8\u201310 cm)\n- Crew socks: plain, private label only, sizes S\/M and L\/XL\nI have five questions:\n1. MOQ \u2014 minimum order quantities per style and per colour?\n2. Pricing \u2014 approximate unit prices (ex works) at 500 \/ 1,000 \/ 2,000 pieces? Cost difference plain vs. printed\/embroidered?\n3. Certifications \u2014 which do you hold? (GOTS, OEKO-TEX, GRS, SMETA \u2026) Are finished products certified?\n4. Fulfillment \u2014 do you offer storage + pick, pack & ship per order directly to end customers under our brand name?\n5. Samples \u2014 can we order samples before committing? Cost and lead time?\nIf the framework fits, I would love to discuss further \u2014 ideally in person at your facilities.\nThank you for your time.\nKind regards,\nThomas Aljets\nFounder, Just a Good Thing\nBerlin, Germany",

            "content": "Good morning Thomas,\n\nThank you for your detailed inquiry and interest in partnering with us. It is great to hear about your project, Just a Good Thing, and its social mission.\n\nTo answer your initial questions and gather the necessary details for our team, I will address them below.\n\nRegarding your question on certifications, we hold the GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification, which guarantees our commitment to environmentally and socially responsible production.\n\nOn the topic of fulfillment, we do not offer direct-to-consumer fulfillment services. Our standard shipping terms are Ex-Works, meaning clients manage the shipping and logistics from our facility.\n\nFor minimum order quantities (MOQs), our requirements are as follows:\n*   **T-shirts:** The minimum is 200 units per style, with at least 100 units per color.\n*   **Socks:** The minimum is 1,000 units per style and also per color.\n\nTo proceed with an analysis of your project, I will need a few more key pieces of information:\n\n1.  **Designs:** Do you have Tech Packs OR Physical Samples of the T-shirt and socks that you can provide for our technical team?\n2.  **Quantities:** You mentioned quantities of 500, 1,000, and 2,000 units. To clarify, is this quantity per style, or the total for all styles?\n3.  **Target Price:** Regarding pricing, we first need to understand your budget. Could you please provide your production price per style, indicated separately for each style?\n4.  **Timeline:** Our standard production cycle is approximately 5 months from confirmation. This would place the earliest possible delivery around mid-July 2026.\n\nOnce I have these details, I can better assess the project's feasibility.",

            "content": "Dear Marta,\nThank you for your quick and detailed response \u2014 very helpful.\nLet me answer your four questions directly:\n1. Designs \/ Tech Packs\nWe do not have tech packs at this stage. We are in the early concept phase. For the T-shirt, we are looking for a classic, clean-cut basic \u2014 comparable to a Stanley\/Stella or Continental Clothing blank, but produced by you in GOTS organic cotton (180\u2013220 g\/m\u00b2). For the socks, a standard crew sock in white GOTS organic cotton. I am happy to send physical reference samples if that helps your team.\n2. Quantities\nThe quantities I mentioned are per style in total. For launch I am planning 2 colours (White and Black): approximately 500\u2013600 units per colour for T-shirts, and around 1,000 units per colour for socks \u2014 so your MOQ works for us.\n3. Target Price\nI can now give you a clearer picture. Just a Good Thing is built on a simple principle: high quality at an accessible price. Our target retail price for a T-shirt is \u20ac25\u201330. We deliberately keep our margin low to maximise reach \u2014 our goal is to make sustainable basics affordable for everyone, not just people who can spend \u20ac60 on a T-shirt. This is also how we intend to grow volume quickly. Based on this, our target production price is under \u20ac12 per unit at 1,000 pieces. We understand this requires scale \u2014 which is exactly why our roadmap goes to 10,000\u201320,000 pieces by 2027.\n4. Timeline\nA 5-month cycle is longer than originally planned, but I am prepared to work with it and adjust accordingly.\nOne additional question: fulfillment.\nSince you work Ex-Works, I will need a fulfillment partner in Portugal for storage, pick & pack, and direct-to-consumer shipping. Do you have any recommendations from your network?\nLooking forward to hearing from you.\nBest regards,\nThomas Aljets\nFounder, Just a Good Thing\nBerlin, Germany\n\n> Matilde Azevedo  hat am 17.02.2026 07:05 CET geschrieben:\n>  \n>  \n> Good morning Thomas,\n> \n> Thank you for your detailed inquiry and interest in partnering with us.
