            "content": "Hello Portugal Textile team,\n\nMy name is Eva and I am developing a new UK premium sleepwear brand. I am currently looking for a Portuguese development and manufacturing partner for our first product.\n\nThe concept centres around one signature women\u2019s silhouette: a fitted long-sleeve top with matching fitted mini shorts. We intend to retain this core silhouette while introducing new proprietary prints and colourways across future collections.\n\nOur target fabric is approximately 92% premium cotton \/ 8% elastane jersey. The hand-feel is extremely important: we are looking for something exceptionally soft and smooth, with excellent stretch and recovery, low pilling, good opacity and durability through repeated washing.\n\nWe are particularly interested in Portugal Textile because we require support with the development process as well as eventual manufacturing. We would like to develop our own pattern and fit using existing garments only as benchmarks for the general silhouette and quality level we are aiming to achieve.\n\nIdeally, we would like to compare premium cotton\/elastane jersey options around 180\u2013220 GSM before selecting our final fabric.\n\nCould you please advise on:\n\n\u2022 Your development process for a new brand\n\u2022 Pattern cutting and fit development\n\u2022 MOQ per style and custom print\n\u2022 Custom all-over fabric printing\n\u2022 Minimum fabric quantities for exclusive prints\n\u2022 92% cotton \/ 8% elastane availability\n\u2022 Premium cotton options available\n\u2022 OEKO-TEX certification\n\u2022 Sampling\/development costs\n\u2022 Estimated sample lead times\n\u2022 Production lead times\n\u2022 Indicative pricing at 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1,000 sets\n\u2022 Labels, packaging and finishing options\n\u2022 Shipping to the UK\n\nI would also love to receive swatches of your highest-quality cotton\/elastane jerseys suitable for close-fitting sleepwear before beginning garment sampling.\n\nOur objective is to build a long-term relationship with a manufacturer rather than simply source a single production run, so consistency, quality control and scalability are particularly important to us.\n\nMany thanks,\n\nEva",

We appreciate your interest in developing your premium sleepwear brand with us.\n\nTo proceed with your project, I need to gather some specific details:\n\n1. **Designs:** Do you have a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample for the fitted long-sleeve top and mini shorts?\n2. **Quantities:** What is the total quantity you intend to produce per style? Please note that our minimum order quantity for general clothing is 200\u2013300 units per style.\n3. **Desired delivery date:** What is your desired delivery date for the first production run?\n4. **Target Price:** What is your maximum target production price per set?\n\nRegarding your questions about development, pattern cutting, and fabric options, we focus on manufacturing and do not provide design services such as pattern development. However, we can work with your existing patterns or physical samples to achieve the desired fit and quality.\n\nFor fabric selection, we can discuss options once we have a clearer understanding of your project requirements. Please note that we do not send fabric swatches at this initial stage.\n\nRegarding certifications, we hold the GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification, which guarantees our commitment to environmentally and socially responsible production.\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": "Hi Matilde, \nThank you very much for getting back to me and for clarifying your development process.\n\nThe brand is currently at an early product development and feasibility stage, so I am speaking with a small number of manufacturers to better understand the production requirements before progressing into sampling.\n\nIn response to your questions:\n\nDesigns: I do not yet have a completed tech pack or final production sample. I am currently developing the product specification and fit. The intended product is a fitted women\u2019s sleepwear set consisting of a long-sleeve fitted top and fitted mini shorts, made from a premium cotton\/elastane jersey, ideally approximately 92% cotton \/ 8% elastane.\nQuantities: I understand that your usual MOQ is 200\u2013300 units per style. For the initial launch, however, I would ideally like to explore a smaller test production of approximately 100 sets per print, even if this carries a higher unit cost. The intention would then be to reorder successful prints at larger quantities once demand has been established.\nAn important part of the brand concept is retaining the same core silhouette while introducing different exclusive prints over time. I would therefore also be interested to know whether 100 units per print could be feasible, and whether quantities across several prints using the same garment pattern could be combined towards your overall production minimum.\n\nDelivery date: There is no fixed delivery date at this stage, as I am currently assessing manufacturing options and developing the product. I would, however, be interested to understand your typical sampling and bulk production lead times.\nTarget price: I am currently establishing the target production economics alongside the product development rather than working to a fixed maximum price at this early stage. Quality \u2013 particularly fabric softness, stretch and recovery, and construction \u2013 is a priority. If possible, it would be very helpful to understand the indicative price range for this type of premium cotton\/elastane set at both 100 units and your standard 200\u2013300 unit quantity.\nCould you also let me know whether you regularly work with custom-printed cotton\/elastane jersey and what minimum fabric quantities typically apply to an exclusive all-over print?\n\nThank you again for your help. The information is extremely useful while I assess the feasibility of the first collection.\n\nBest wishes,\n\nEva\n\n\n> On 23 Sep 2026, at 23:06, Matilde Azevedo  wrote:\n> \n> Hello Eva,\n> \n> Thank you for reaching out to us at Portugal Textile.
