            "content": "Hello Caroline,\n\nThank you for reaching out and providing the details about your project. Let's address each of your points:\n\n1. **Product Category & Design Assets**: Since you are looking to develop scarves, our MOQ is 100 units per style and per color. As you do not have a Tech Pack or Physical Sample, please share reference images and design files once we finalize the base specifications. For a lightweight cotton foulard, we recommend a GSM range of 70-90 for a soft and airy feel.\n\n2. **Quantities**: Based on your initial consideration of 400 units split across 3-4 designs, please confirm the exact quantities per design once you finalize your decision.\n\n3. **Timeline**: Unfortunately, a delivery timeline of November or December is not feasible due to our production lead times and the holiday closures in December. The earliest realistic delivery would be February 2027.\n\n4. **Pricing**: We cannot provide production prices at this stage. Accurate pricing depends on the technical specifications, materials, and final quantities. However, please provide your maximum target production price per style so we can evaluate the project's alignment.\n\n5. **Sampling Cost & Lead Time**: The cost of a sample depends on the specific product and complexity of the design. We only develop one sample per style for initial approval, and further samples are only made after the bulk order is placed. Sampling typically takes 6-8 weeks.\n\n6. **Finishing Options**: We offer various finishing options such as hemmed, rolled hem, and fringe. Please specify your preference.\n\n7. **Payment Terms**: Our standard payment terms are 50% advance and 50% before shipping for both development and production.\n\nPlease let me know your target production price per style, and confirm if you agree with our terms and MOQs. Once we have this information, we can proceed with the next steps.\n\nLooking forward to your reply.\n\nBest regards,",
