However, we are flexible and open to discussing your minimum order quantities (MOQ).\n\nWe would therefore kindly like to know:\n\n\t\u25cf\twhether you are able to produce all the categories mentioned above within the same project;\n\t\u25cf\tyour minimum order quantities (MOQs) for each garment category;\n\t\u25cf\tan indicative price range for each product;\n\t\u25cf\tthe costs associated with pattern development and sample making;\n\t\u25cf\twhether you also provide fabric sourcing and supply, labels, packaging, and finishing;\n\t\u25cf\tthe approximate lead times required for development and production.\n\nWe are looking for a reliable partner with whom we can establish a long-term collaboration, with the goal of growing together with the brand and progressively developing our future collections, rather than working with a manufacturer for a single production only.\n\nAttached you will find the complete tech packs for the four products, allowing you to evaluate our designs and provide us with initial feedback regarding their feasibility, as well as any modifications or recommendations you may consider necessary.\n\nThank you very much for your time and for taking the opportunity to review our project. We would be happy to hear from you and further discuss your working process, as well as the possibilities for a future collaboration.\n\nThank you again for your availability.\n\nBest regards,\n\nRiccardo & Tommaso\nFounders \u2013 CLOSEART\n\nWebsite: https:\/\/closeart.it\/password\n\nFai clic per eseguire il download\n LO -001.pdf\n2,2 MB\nFai clic per eseguire il download\n LO -002 .pdf\n5,2 MB\nFai clic per eseguire il download\n CA - 001.pdf\n4,6 MB\nFai clic per eseguire il download\n PA - 001 EN.pdf\n16,1 MB\nFai clic per eseguire il download\n RICAMO LO-001pdf.pdf\n782 KB\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided general web links (https:\/\/closeart.it\/password).

It's great to hear about CLOSEART and your vision for the brand.\n\nTo provide you with accurate information and proceed with your request, I need to clarify a few details:\n\n1. **Quantities**: Our minimum order quantities (MOQs) for general clothing, such as shirts, jeans, and longsleeves, are 200\u2013300 units per style. Could you confirm if you are able to adjust your initial plan to meet these minimums?\n\n2. **Target Price**: Could you please provide your target production price per style? This will help us understand your budget expectations.\n\nRegarding your other questions:\n\n- We can produce all the categories mentioned within the same project.\n- The cost of pattern development and sample making depends on the complexity of each design. We will need to evaluate your Tech Packs to provide a proper quotation.\n- We do provide fabric sourcing, labels, packaging, and finishing as part of our services.\n- The lead time for development and production is approximately 5 months, considering our standard cycle and the high standards of Portuguese textile production.\n\nOnce we have the confirmed quantities and target price, we can move forward with evaluating your Tech Packs and discussing the next steps.\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards,",

            "content": "Dear Matilde, Thank you very much for your detailed response and for the information provided.Regarding the quantities, our initial plan for the first CLOSEART production was approximately 50 pieces per style, as this would be our first collection and we would like to start with a smaller initial order.We understand that your standard MOQ is 200\u2013300 pieces per style. However, we would like to ask whether there could be any flexibility for a first production, especially considering that we are an emerging brand. If necessary, we are also open to discussing an increase in quantities depending on the final production costs and conditions.Regarding the target price, at this stage we would prefer to receive your quotation based on our Tech Packs, as the final cost will depend on the fabrics, construction, finishing and complexity of each garment.We have prepared the Tech Packs for the styles we would like to develop and would be happy to share them with you for your evaluation.Once you have reviewed them, we would appreciate receiving an estimated quotation for the development, sampling and production of each style.Thank you again for your time and availability. We look forward to hearing your feedback and hopefully starting a collaboration with you.Best regards,Riccardo & TommasoCLOSEARTIl giorno 21 ago 2026, alle ore 16:38, Matilde Azevedo <info@portugaltextile.com> ha scritto:\ufeffHello Riccardo and Tommaso,\n\nThank you for reaching out and sharing your exciting project with us.

            "content": "Hello Riccardo and Tommaso,\n\nThank you for your understanding regarding our minimum order quantities. Unfortunately, our MOQs are non-negotiable, and we are unable to produce quantities as low as 50 pieces per style for general clothing. \n\nFor T-Shirts, Hoodies, Sweatpants, and Shorts, you may consider [www.privatelabelclothes.com](http:\/\/www.privatelabelclothes.com) for smaller quantities. However, for shirts, jeans, and longsleeves, we require a minimum of 200\u2013300 units per style.\n\nRegarding the target price, we need to have an indication of your maximum target production price per style to ensure alignment before proceeding with technical costing. This helps us evaluate the feasibility of the project.\n\nPlease let us know if you can adjust the quantities to meet our MOQs and provide your target price per style. Once we have this information, we can proceed with evaluating your Tech Packs and discussing the next steps.\n\nThank you for considering us as your manufacturing partner. We look forward to the possibility of working together.\n\nBest regards,",
