            "content": "Dear Matilde,\n\nThank you very much for your detailed reply and for sharing the information regarding your MOQ, certification and development timelines.\n\nWe are currently evaluating an initial order of 200 units for one crewneck style and one pale-grey colourway, subject to the final quotation and approval of the development sample.\n\nBefore confirming the quantity, could you please clarify whether the 200-unit MOQ can be distributed across the different sizes, for example XS?XL, and whether the MOQ applies per style only or per style and colour?\n\nOur preliminary target production price is approximately EUR 25?30 per unit EXW, including:\n\n? The finished crewneck sweatshirt\n? Small one-colour navy logo on the left chest\n? Medium-sized multicolour artwork centred on the back\n? Custom neck label and care label\n? Custom hangtag\n? Standard individual packaging\n\nOur preliminary product specifications are:\n\n? Unisex relaxed or slightly oversized fit\n? Approximately 350?450 GSM\n? Ideally 100% organic cotton\n? Solid pale-grey colour, not heather grey\n? Small ilo logo on the left chest\n? Medium-sized multicolour back artwork\n? Made in Portugal\n\nCould you please let us know whether our target price is feasible and which elements, if any, would need to be quoted separately?\n\nAt this stage, we have a detailed visual mock-up and preliminary product specifications, but we have not yet completed the final Tech Pack. I am attaching the mock-up as a visual reference.\n\nBefore finalising the Tech Pack, it would be very helpful if you could share:\n\n? Your available organic cotton fabrics within the 350?450 GSM range\n? Available solid pale-grey shades\n? Existing relaxed or oversized sweatshirt blocks and size charts\n? The composition of the main fabric and ribbing\n? Whether 100% cotton is possible throughout the complete garment\n? Your recommended printing technique for the multicolour back artwork\n? The maximum recommended back-print dimensions\n? An indicative sample development cost\n? Whether the sample cost may be credited against the production order\n? Whether using an existing pattern block and stock fabric could reduce the sampling time\n\nAs you mentioned that your company is GOTS-certified, we would also appreciate receiving your current GOTS Scope Certificate and confirmation that the finished garments for this order could be supplied as GOTS-certified products with the corresponding documentation.\n\nThank you again. We look forward to learning more about the available options and assessing the next steps together.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMartina\nilo studio\nNarrative apparel\n\n________________________________\nDe: Matilde Azevedo \nEnviado: mi?rcoles, 5 de agosto de 2026 11:08\nPara: martipinto94@hotmail.com \nAsunto: Re: Premium 100% cotton crewneck production in Portugal ? ilo studio\n\nHello Martina,\n\nThank you for reaching out and sharing your exciting project with ilo studio.

To address your questions:\n\n1. **MOQ Distribution**: The 200-unit minimum order quantity applies per style and can be distributed across different sizes, such as XS to XL.
