This will help me finalize my total quantities in\nline with your MOQ\n\nstructure (200-300 units\/style, minimum 100 units\/color).\n\nPlease find attached the technical overview for these references. I'm\nhappy to share more\n\ndetailed specifications once we move forward.\n\nRegarding your questions:\n\n\n\n\n- Target production deadline: I don't have a fixed hard deadline, but I'm\naiming to have\n\nproduction completed around Q1 2027, which should give comfortable room\ngiven your sampling\n\n(8 weeks) and production (10-14 weeks) timelines.\n\n\n\n\n- Target production price per style: around EUR 25 per unit, though I\nremain open to discussing\n\nthis once you've reviewed the technical details.\n\nLooking forward to your feedback on the style\/color clarification and next\nsteps.\n\n\n\n\nThank you again for your time,\n\n\n\n\nShainese\n\n\n\n\nEnvoy? ? partir de Outlook pour iOS \n  _____\n\nDe : Matilde Azevedo \nEnvoy? : Thursday, 03 September 2026 12:08:24\n? : Shainese \nObjet : Sustainable Clothing Development in Portugal\n\n\nHi Shainese,\n\n\n\n\nThank you very much for your contact.

Sampling: 8 weeks\n\n? Production: 10-14 weeks after the order is placed\n\nPlease note that factories close for holidays 2\/3 weeks in August and 2\nweeks in December.

Development fee: Price depends on each style - it includes a prototype\n(manufacturing, sourcing of materials, pattern making and sizing, quality\ncheck for approval). The development fee will be communicated to the\nclient once we have all the information about the collection.\n\n? Adjustments* (confirmation sample, PPS, shipping samples, etc.): Double\nprice (for example, if the production price is 20?, it will be charged\n40?).\n\n?

We can provide competitive shipping quotes\nfrom our partners or share their contact details if preferred. Clients are\nalso welcome to arrange their own shipping or provide their courier\naccount.\n\nPlease note that we operate strictly on an EXW (Ex Works) basis. This\nmeans that once goods leave our factory, we are not responsible for any\ndamage, loss, or delays during transport.\n\n\n\n\nNext Steps\n\nTo move forward with the project analysis, it is mandatory for us to\nreceive:\n\n*\nTechnical packs or physical samples for each style you wish to develop\n\n*\nQuantities per style and per color, in line with the MOQs mentioned above\n\n*\nYour target production deadline and confirmation if the timelines above\nare suitable\n\n*\nYour production price per style, indicated separately for each style\n\nThank you again for your time.\n\nWe look forward to hearing from you.\n\n\n\n\nHave a lovely day!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatilde Azevedo\n\n\nCommercial Assistant\n\nPortugal Textile & Portugal Shoes\n\n\n\n\n+351 91 508 51 06 \n\n\n\nmatilde@portugaltextile.com \n\n\n\nwww.portugaltextile.com \n www.portugalshoes.com\n\n\n\nRua da Zona Industrial de Alto Pega n.? 105, loja F, 4480-761, Vila do\nConde - Portugal\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided general web links (www.portugaltextile.com, www.portugalshoes.com).

This will help us ensure alignment with our production capabilities.\n\nYour target production deadline of Q1 2027 is feasible, considering our timelines and the holiday closures in December. \n\nPlease let me know if you have any flexibility regarding the target price, and feel free to share any additional specifications when you're ready.\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",

            "content": "Hello Shainese,\n\nThank you for your understanding regarding the styles and colorways. Unfortunately, our MOQs are strictly non-negotiable, even for brand launches. Each style must meet the minimum of 200\u2013300 units, with at least 100 units per color. This ensures we maintain our production efficiency and quality standards.\n\nRegarding the production price, I'm unable to provide a specific range at this stage. Accurate pricing depends on the technical specifications, materials, and construction details, which our technical team will evaluate. However, your target price of \u20ac25 per unit is slightly below our internal reference for jeans. If there's any flexibility to increase your budget, it would help align with our production capabilities.\n\nPlease let me know if you can adjust the quantities or if there's flexibility in your budget. I'm here to assist you further.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",
