            "content": "Hi Portugal Textile team,\n\nMy name is Kelly and I\u2019m currently developing a new independent children\u2019s \nclothing label based in Belgium. I\u2019m looking for a Portuguese manufacturing \npartner for our first small collection, with the intention of building a \nlong-term production relationship as the brand grows.\n\nThe direction is high-quality, unisex kidswear with a relaxed, oversized and \nboxy fit, with a playful, slightly retro feel. For the first drop, I\u2019m \nmainly looking to develop oversized T-shirts and crewneck sweatshirts for \nchildren, approximately ages 4\u201312.\n\nFor the T-shirts, I\u2019m looking for approximately 220\u2013260 gsm cotton jersey, \npreferably organic or certified cotton, with a soft but substantial hand \nfeel. The desired fit has dropped shoulders, a wider body and an \nintentionally oversized\/boxy silhouette rather than a standard children's \nT-shirt fit.\n\nFor the sweatshirts, I\u2019m considering approximately 320\u2013400 gsm, with a soft, \npremium-quality feel, dropped shoulders and a similarly oversized, boxy \nconstruction.\n\nThe colour direction includes cream, dusty blue, soft pink, sage green, \nmustard and lilac, with the possibility of introducing additional colours \nlater.\n\nI\u2019m also interested in a soft, slightly lived-in\/vintage finish. Do you \noffer garment dyeing, enzyme washing or similar softening\/finishing \ntechniques that can achieve this without making the garments look heavily \ndistressed?\n\nBranding would likely include a multi-colour printed logo, a custom woven \nneck\/size label and a small woven hem label. I would therefore also love to \nknow which printing technique you would recommend for achieving accurate \ncolours, a soft hand feel and good wash durability.\n\nAs this is a new independent label, I would like to begin with a relatively \nsmall first production and grow from there.\n\nCould you please provide some information about:\n\n*\tYour MOQ per style and per colour, and whether this can be divided across \ndifferent children's sizes\n*\tYour available children's size range and sizing system\n*\tWhether you have existing oversized\/boxy children's patterns or offer \ncustom pattern development\n*\tApproximate unit prices at your MOQ and, if possible, at 50, 100 and 200 \npieces per style\/colour\n*\tSample\/prototype costs and lead times\n*\tBulk production lead times after sample approval\n*\tAvailable fabric compositions, weights and certifications such as \nGOTS\/OEKO-TEX\n*\tGarment dye, enzyme wash and other finishing possibilities\n*\tMulti-colour printing techniques, setup costs and minimum quantities\n*\tCustom woven neck labels, size labels and hem labels and their MOQs\n*\tCustom packaging possibilities and minimum quantities\n*\tPayment terms for samples and bulk production\n*\tShipping possibilities and approximate costs to Belgium\n\nIf available, I would also be very interested in receiving your fabric and \ncolour catalogue, children's size chart, certifications and\/or production \ninformation pack.\n\nAt this early development stage, I\u2019m intentionally keeping the brand name \nand final artwork private. Once I know there is a good fit between my \nrequirements and your production capabilities, I\u2019d be happy to share the \nvisual direction, measurements, colour references and artwork required for \nsampling.\n\nQuality, fit and feel are particularly important to me. I\u2019m hoping to find a \nmanufacturer I can work closely with as the label develops rather than \nsimply sourcing a standard product.\n\nThank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing more about your \nproduction possibilities.\n\nWarm regards,\nKelly Arts\nBelgium",

            "content": "Hello Kelly,\n\nThank you for reaching out and providing such a detailed overview of your project. It's exciting to hear about your new children's clothing label, and we're glad you're considering Portugal as your manufacturing partner.\n\nTo assist you further, I need to gather some specific information:\n\n1. **Quantities**: Could you please specify the total quantity you are looking to produce per style? Our minimum order quantity for kidswear is 250 units per style and per color. If you require more than six sizes, the MOQ is 50 units per size. Please let me know if this aligns with your plans.\n\n2. **Target Price**: What is your target production price per style? This will help us understand your budget and provide the best options for your needs.\n\nRegarding your questions about our capabilities:\n\n- We do offer garment dyeing and enzyme washing to achieve a soft, lived-in finish without heavy distressing.\n- We hold the GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification, ensuring our commitment to environmentally and socially responsible production.\n- For printing, we can recommend techniques that provide accurate colors, a soft hand feel, and good wash durability, but the specific method will depend on your design details.\n- Custom woven labels and packaging are possible, but we would need to discuss the specifics once we have more details about your designs and quantities.\n\nUnfortunately, I cannot provide unit prices or sample costs at this stage. Accurate pricing can only be given after our technical team reviews your Tech Pack or physical sample and confirms the final quantities.\n\nOnce I have the details regarding your quantities and target price, I can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps. Please let me know if you have a Tech Pack or a physical sample to send us, as this will be crucial for our technical team to evaluate your project.\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nWarm regards,  \nMatilde Azevedo",

            "content": "Hi Matilde,\n\nThank you so much for your detailed response and for explaining your production possibilities.\n\nYour capabilities sound very much in line with what I'm looking for, particularly the GOTS certification, garment dyeing and enzyme washing.\n\nHowever, as my brand is a completely new label, I am looking to start with a much smaller first production run to test the market responsibly. An MOQ of 250 units per style and per colour would unfortunately be too high for this first launch.\n\nI would therefore prefer not to take up more of your time at this stage, but I would love to keep your details for the future. If my brand grows to a point where these quantities become realistic, I would be very happy to reconnect.\n\nThank you again for your time and transparency.\n\nWarm regards,\nKelly\n\n> Op 13 aug 2026, om 14:54 heeft Matilde Azevedo  het volgende geschreven:\n> \n> Hello Kelly,\n> \n> Thank you for reaching out and providing such a detailed overview of your project.
