The collectible appeal comes from this second sock, so we will p=\nroduce a shared base in larger volume and the rarity variations in progress=\nively smaller runs.\n- First drop volume: around 300-500 pairs total, split across a few designs\n\nAt this stage, we are not asking for a firm quote =97 an indicative price r=\nange would be perfectly fine. Specifically, could you share:\n\n1. An indicative unit price per pair at 300, 500 and 1,000 pairs (per desig=\nn), so we can understand the volume effect.\n2. Your MOQ per design and per colour.\n3. Sampling and production lead times.\n4. Our concept is built on a collectible rarity system: alongside our stand=\nard models, we plan to release some designs in very limited runs =97 for ex=\nample 50 units (\"epic\") down to 10 units (\"legendary\"). This scarcity is ce=\nntral to our brand. Could you let us know the feasibility and constraints o=\nf such small runs? In particular: is it more realistic to produce a separat=\ne short run, or to create these rare versions as limited variations (a spec=\nial finish, colour or detail) on a base model that is produced in larger qu=\nantity?limited number of pairs within a run) =97 this is important for our =\ncollectible concept.\n5. Sampling costs.\n\nI'm also attaching a simple visual board that illustrates the concept and t=\nhe style\/quality level we have in mind.

Quantities and structure\nOur concept works in two parts:\n\n- The RIGHT sock is a single shared design, identical on every pair ? so around 300 to 500 units of the same right-foot design. This is our base, produced in volume.\n- The LEFT sock varies by rarity tier, each tier being a distinct design produced in decreasing quantities. As a working hypothesis:\n   ? Common: ~150-200 units\n   ? Rare: ~80-100 units\n   ? Epic: ~50 units\n   ? Legendary: only ~10-20 units\n\nSo in practice: one right-foot design in larger volume, plus a few left-foot designs in progressively smaller runs.\n\nThis raises the key technical question for us: what is your minimum order quantity (MOQ) per design? We want to understand how feasible the smallest runs are (especially the \"legendary\" tier at ~10-20 units). If producing such small separate runs isn't viable or cost-effective, could the rare versions instead be created as limited variations on a base left-foot design (a special colour, finish or detail applied to a small number of pairs)? Your guidance on the most realistic approach would be very helpful.\n\n2. Target price\nWe are still in the evaluation phase, so rather than fixing a target, we'd actually like to understand your typical price range for this type of premium product, at the volumes above. That indicative range is exactly what we need to finalize our own pricing. An estimate per pair (or per sock) at different volumes would be perfect.\n\nThank you again for your help ? happy to jump on a quick call if that's easier.\n\nBest regards,\nMarko ARSIC ?

Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): Our MOQ for socks is 1,000 units per style and per color. Unfortunately, this means that producing the \"legendary\" tier at 10-20 units is not feasible. However, we can explore the option of creating limited variations on a base left-foot design, applying special colors, finishes, or details to a small number of pairs. This approach may be more realistic for your collectible concept.\n\n2. Target Price: I understand that you're looking for an indicative price range.

            "content": "Dear Matilde,\n\nThank you very much for the clear answers ? this is really helpful.\n\nThe approach you suggest for the rarity tiers makes a lot of sense: producing a base left-foot design and applying special colours, finishes or details to a limited number of pairs. That fits our collectible concept very well, and we'll build on this idea.\n\nTwo points I'd like to raise:\n\n1. MOQ for a first collaboration\nI understand your standard MOQ is 1,000 units per style and per colour. As we are launching our first, smaller collection to test the market, would you consider a reduced MOQ for an initial trial order? Many makers are open to this to start a longer-term relationship, and we fully intend to scale volumes once the brand is established. If a lower starting quantity is possible, it would make a first collaboration much easier for us.\n\n2. Tech pack and indicative pricing\nWe don't have a finalized tech pack yet ? we are still in the product definition phase, and the tech pack will come at a later stage. I completely understand that precise pricing requires it. That said, would it be possible to share a rough indicative price range based on the concept and references already provided (premium combed cotton crew socks, at the volumes discussed)? Even a broad estimate would help us a lot at this stage, and we would of course confirm everything with a proper tech pack later.\n\nThank you again for your time and guidance.\n\nBest regards,\nMarko ARSIC ?
