            "content": "Hello,\n\nMy name is Nadia Romdane, and I am the founder of ROMDANE, a French premium\nswimwear and resortwear brand currently preparing its first collection.\n\nWe are looking for a reliable manufacturing partner in Portugal who can\nsupport us in developing and producing a high-quality collection with\nparticular attention to fit, fabric quality, finishing and craftsmanship.\n\nOur initial collection is planned to include approximately six styles:\n\n   -\n\n   3 swimwear designs\n   -\n\n   2 beachwear \/ resortwear designs\n   -\n\n   1 jumpsuit\n\nWe are considering an initial production of approximately 300 pieces in\ntotal, distributed across the different styles, sizes and colours.\n\nOur creative designs are already in development, and we are preparing the\ntechnical documentation.\n\n*1. Minimum order quantities and pricing*\n\nCould you please confirm:\n\n   -\n\n   Your minimum order quantity per style and per colour.\n   -\n\n   Whether a total initial order of approximately 300 pieces across six\n   styles would be possible.\n   -\n\n   Your estimated production prices per piece for premium swimwear and\n   resortwear.\n   -\n\n   Whether you offer different prices depending on the quantity ordered.\n   -\n\n   Whether you can source premium swimwear fabrics and provide fabric\n   swatches.\n\n*2. Sampling and product development*\n\n   -\n\n   Do you offer pattern making, sampling and size grading?\n   -\n\n   What is the cost of developing a prototype for each style?\n   -\n\n   How long does sampling usually take, including possible adjustments?\n   -\n\n   Are sampling or development fees deducted from the final production\n   order?\n\n*3. Pre-order production model*\n\nWe are considering launching ROMDANE through a pre-order model, allowing\ncustomers to purchase the collection before bulk production begins.\n\nWe would therefore like to understand whether your factory could\naccommodate this approach.\n\n   -\n\n   Would it be possible to develop and approve all samples before the\n   pre-order launch, then confirm final production quantities once the\n   pre-order period has closed?\n   -\n\n   Could you reserve production capacity in advance?\n   -\n\n   Would you require a deposit before the pre-order launch?\n   -\n\n   How many weeks would you need to manufacture approximately 300 pieces\n   after receiving our final confirmed quantities?\n   -\n\n   Would smaller initial quantities or subsequent reorders be possible?\n   -\n\n   What payment terms do you offer for a first production order?\n\n*4. Packaging and logistics*\n\nWe are also developing custom luxury packaging with a separate European\nsupplier.\n\n   -\n\n   Would you be able to receive our branded packaging directly from this\n   supplier?\n   -\n\n   Could your team pack each garment in our custom boxes, including branded\n   tissue paper and other packaging elements?\n   -\n\n   Would there be any additional costs for this service?\n   -\n\n   Could you ship the finished and packaged products to our logistics\n   partner in France?\n   -\n\n   Do you offer direct-to-customer fulfilment, or only bulk shipping?\n\n*5. Confidentiality*\n\nAs ROMDANE is developing original and exclusive designs, confidentiality is\nextremely important to us.\n\nWould you be willing to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before we\nshare our sketches, technical packs and design files?\n\nWe are looking for a long-term manufacturing partner who understands the\nquality standards and attention to detail required for a premium fashion\nbrand.\n\nI would be grateful if you could share your production capabilities,\nestimated price ranges, minimum quantities and lead times.\n\nThank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.\n\nBest regards,\n\n*Nadia Romdane*\nFounder \u2014 ROMDANE\nnromdane@gmail.com",

            "content": "Hello Nadia,\n\nThank you for reaching out and considering us for your swimwear and resortwear collection. I appreciate the detailed overview of your brand and your initial collection plans.\n\nTo assist you effectively, I need to gather some specific information regarding your project:\n\n1. **Product Details**: You mentioned swimwear and resortwear. Could you please confirm if you have a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample for each style you plan to develop?\n\n2. **Quantities**: You are considering an initial production of approximately 300 pieces across six styles. Could you specify the quantity per style and per colour? Please note that our minimum order quantity for swimwear is 200 units per style.\n\n3. **Target Price**: What is your maximum target production price per style? This will help us evaluate the commercial viability of your project.\n\n4. **Desired Delivery Date**: When do you aim to have the collection ready for delivery? Please keep in mind that our minimum production cycle is 5 full calendar months from the current date.\n\nRegarding your questions:\n\n- **Minimum Order Quantities**: As mentioned, our MOQ for swimwear is 200 units per style.\n- **Pricing**: Accurate pricing can only be determined once all project requirements are gathered and evaluated.\n- **Sampling and Development**: We do offer sampling services, but the cost depends on the specific product and complexity of the design.\n- **Pre-order Model**: We can discuss production timelines and capacity once we have a clearer understanding of your project details.\n- **Packaging and Logistics**: We can discuss custom packaging and logistics once the production details are confirmed.\n- **Confidentiality**: Your designs and intellectual property are always kept strictly confidential with us by default. Regarding an NDA, this is not the point to address that right now. All initial onboarding is coordinated directly through this channel to first evaluate the commercial viability of the project.\n\nOnce I have the above details, I can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps.\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",

            "content": "Dear Matilde,\n\nThank you very much for your detailed response and for taking the time to\nreview our project.\n\nRegarding your questions:\n\nOur collection currently consists of three swimwear designs, two resortwear\npieces and one jumpsuit. The creative designs are at an advanced stage, and\nwe are currently working on finalising the technical documentation. We do\nnot yet have physical samples.\n\nFor our first launch, we are targeting approximately 300 pieces across the\nentire collection, with quantities distributed between different styles,\nsizes and colours.\n\nAs ROMDANE is a new premium brand, we are planning a pre-order launch to\nvalidate customer demand before confirming final production quantities.\n\nI understand that your minimum order quantity is 200 units per swimwear\nstyle. However, I wanted to ask whether you could consider a smaller\ninitial production run, with the possibility of larger repeat orders as the\nbrand grows.\n\nRegarding pricing, we are looking for high-quality European manufacturing,\nwith premium fabrics and excellent finishing. Before defining a maximum\ntarget price per style, I would appreciate an indicative price range based\non your previous premium swimwear projects.\n\nRegarding delivery, our timeline is still being finalised. Could you please\nclarify whether your minimum five-month production cycle includes sampling,\npattern development and adjustments, or whether this period applies only to\nbulk manufacturing after sample approval?\n\nWe would also like to understand whether a pre-order model could be\naccommodated, with production starting after final quantities are confirmed.\n\nFinally, I completely understand your onboarding process. We would be happy\nto discuss the general project requirements at this stage, while keeping\nour original designs confidential until an appropriate agreement is in\nplace.\n\nThank you again for your consideration.\n\nBest regards,\n\nNadia Romdane\nFounder \u2014 ROMDANE\n\nLe mar. 13 oct. 2026 \u00e0 16:50, Matilde Azevedo  a\n\u00e9crit :\n\n> Hello Nadia,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out and considering us for your swimwear and\n> resortwear collection.
