We have the technical drawings, trim and material information, fabric and component direction, construction details and other relevant design specifications prepared for each style.\n\n\nFor the production process, we are specifically looking for an FPP manufacturing partner who can support the product development stage, including pattern development, working from our design specifications and measurements, sample development, fit corrections, grading, material and trim sourcing where required, and subsequent bulk production.\n\n\nRegarding quantities, I understand your minimum requirements of 200?300 units per style, with a minimum of 100 units per colour. We are aware of these requirements and would still be interested in receiving a quotation based on:\n\n  *   Your lowest practical MOQ per style per colourway\n  *   300 units per style per colourway\n\nThis would allow us to compare the unit pricing at your minimum practical production quantity and at a higher production volume.\n\n\nAt this stage, we are not working with a fixed target production price. We are currently searching for the right manufacturing partner for NOVEAY and are evaluating several manufacturers based on their production capabilities, quality, pricing, MOQ structure, development support and overall suitability for the collection.\n\n\nRegarding the delivery timeline, our target launch window is December 2026 \/ January 2027. I understand that February 2027 would be the earliest realistic delivery from your side, and we will take this into consideration as part of our overall manufacturer evaluation.\n\n\nI also appreciate your clarification regarding the confidentiality of our designs and intellectual property.\n\n\nIf the above is workable from your side, I would be happy to send over the relevant technical packs for your review and quotation.\n\n\nThank you again for your time and consideration.

We are currently evaluating several manufacturing partners, and the purpose of requesting a quotation is to understand each manufacturer?s actual production costs and compare the available options.\n\n\nWe do have some flexibility regarding the unit price, depending on the overall production cost and structure. However, this is something we will evaluate after receiving your quotation and will determine whether the proposed production costs and overall conditions are suitable for NOVEAY.\n\n\nWe have now provided the complete Tech Packs and MOQ & Sizing document. Based on these specifications, we would like you to review the collection and provide your indicative production quotation based on your production capabilities and MOQ requirements.\n\n\nFor planning purposes, we can work with 200 units per style and a minimum of 100 units per colour. If certain styles require different quantities due to your production or material requirements, please indicate this in your quotation.\n\n\nPlease provide, where applicable:\n\n  *   Styles you are able to produce\n  *   Applicable MOQ and production quantities\n  *   Unit production price\n  *   Any significant additional production or development costs\n  *   Any styles or specifications that may require an alternative approach\n\nAn estimated quotation is completely sufficient at this stage. We are not requesting a final confirmed price, nor are we placing an order at this stage.\n\n\nOnce we receive your quotation, my team and I will evaluate the pricing, production capabilities, MOQ and timeline and decide whether we would like to proceed with Portugal Textile.\n\n\nRegarding the timeline, I understand that February 2027 would be the earliest realistic delivery from your side, and we will take this into consideration in our evaluation.\n\n\nI hope this clarifies our request.
