I appreciate your interest in manufacturing with us in Portugal.\n\nTo proceed with evaluating your project, I need to gather some specific details:\n\n1. **Quantities:** Could you please specify the quantities you intend to produce per style and per colour? Our minimum order quantity for activewear is typically 200 units per style.\n\n2. **Target Price:** What is your maximum target production price per style? This will help us assess the commercial viability of your project.\n\n3. **Desired Delivery Date:** When do you aim to have the products delivered? Please note that our minimum project cycle is at least 5 full calendar months from the current date.\n\nRegarding your questions about polyester-free fabrics, embroidery, and trims, these technical details will be addressed in the next phase by our production team once we have completed your commercial file.\n\nPlease provide the above details so we can move forward with your project.\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",

            "content": "Hello Matilde,\n\nThank you for the quick reply and for explaining your process.\n\n1. Quantities: as a new brand, our first activewear run would be 50 to 100\nunits per style, across up to two colours (Black first, then Charcoal),\nwith sizes XS to XL. We expect volumes to grow with each drop. Would you\nconsider a smaller first order below your 200-unit minimum, even with a\nsmall-order surcharge? If not, please let us know the lowest quantity you\ncould accept, or whether 200 units could be split across colours.\n\n2. Target price: we will confirm our target price per style once the fabric\nand specifications are settled, as these will drive the cost.\n\n3. Delivery date: we understand the 5-month project cycle. For this\nactivewear range we would aim for delivery to Melbourne around April to May\n2027.\n\nThe three styles are a women's legging, a women's sports bra and a men's\ntraining short, all in a polyester-free stretch fabric (cotton\/elastane or\nTENCEL lyocell\/elastane), with tonal embroidery only.\n\nThank you, and I look forward to hearing how we might work together.\n\nKind regards,\nSimon Dawod\nFounder\nAV\u00c9REN\nMORE WITHIN.\nMelbourne, Australia\ninfo@averen.com.au\n\nOn Wed, Oct 21, 2026 03:47 AM, Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Simon,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out and providing detailed information about your\n> brand AV\u00c9REN and your activewear project.
