            "content": "Dear Matilde,\n\nthanks for your fast response! Here are my answers to your questions:\n\n1.  Designs: Could you please provide the Tech Packs OR Physical Samples for the three items in the set (the duvet cover and the two pillowcase sizes)?\n\nAs this will be our first bedding production, we don't have tech packs or physical samples available yet. We would very much appreciate your support in developing the specifications together.\n\nHere is what we have in mind so far:\n\n\n  *   Fabric: 4-layer muslin in organic cotton \u2013 we are specifically looking for a soft, premium hand feel that clearly sets itself apart from standard 3-layer products\n  *   Color: Warm, natural beige\n  *   Sizes: 135 x 200 cm (duvet cover), 80 x 80 cm and 40 x 80 cm (pillowcases)\n  *   Closure: Concealed zipper closure on all three pieces \u2013 the zipper should be fully hidden along the inner seam for a clean, seamless look\n  *   For reference, I have attached a product example from another brand that is close to the look and feel we are aiming for. This should give you a good sense of the style, texture, and overall quality level we envision for our line.\n     *   https:\/\/7oclock.de\/products\/beige-musselin-einzelbettwaesche-135x135-80x80-haven\n\n2.  Quantities: What is your planned order quantity for each of these items? Our minimums for bedding are calculated based on fabric consumption in square meters (sqm).\n\nWe would like to start with the minimum amount to validate the product in the German market. Probably something about 100x duvet cover, 100x 80x80 pillow cases and if possible 50x 40x80 pillow cases.\n\n3.  Timeline: What is your desired delivery date for this collection?\n\nAs soon as possible, but in the next quartal would be nice.\n\n4.  Target Price: What is your target production price per style, indicated separately for each style?\n\nWe currently do not have any target production price, we currently are more into pillows and want to add new products. We hoping for a good partner who is also a sparring partner to challenge prices regarding effort, quality and price.\n\nBest regards\nJustin\n\nAm 09.02.2026 um 20:15 schrieb Matilde Azevedo :\n\nDear Justin,\n\nThank you for reaching out to us and for your interest in producing your bedding collection with Portugal Textile.

This analysis includes sourcing the specific 4-layer muslin you require, creating the patterns for your three unique sizes, and assessing the work involved in the concealed zipper construction. For this reason, I am unable to provide a cost estimate at this stage.\n\nRegarding your second question, the development phase is a distinct first step. The development fee covers all the initial work to create your first set of samples. Once you receive and approve these samples, you would then decide whether to place the bulk production order. If you decide not to proceed to production, you are under no obligation to do so. The process would simply conclude after the development stage.\n\nTo move forward and get you that precise development fee, I need your agreement on our standard terms. Once you agree, I can submit your project for technical analysis, and we will come back to you with a formal proposal that includes the exact costs for development.\n\nDo you agree to proceed under these terms?",
