I came across Portugal Textile and was impressed by your commitment to sustainable, high-quality manufacturing.\n\nNOURA is built on a simple but non-negotiable premise: activewear made exclusively from natural fibers. Our launch capsule consists of three styles in three colorways, using materials like TENCEL, organic cotton, bamboo, and biodegradable elastane.\n\nI would love to explore whether Portugal Textile might be the right manufacturing partner for us. Specifically, I am hoping to learn more about your MOQ requirements, sampling process, and experience working with natural fiber performance fabrics.\n\nI would welcome the chance to connect at your convenience.\n\nWarm regards,\nDarcy Neier\nFounder, NOURA Movement\ndarcy@nouramovement.com",

Quantities: We are still determining final volumes but are currently\nestimating approximately 100 pieces per style. We are open to discussing\nyour standard requirements.\n4. Timeline: We would ideally like to launch this summer. However, I\nunderstand that sampling and production require significant time, and I do\nnot want to rush the process at the expense of quality.\n5. Target Price: Our initial collection includes a legging (target\nproduction price ~$40 USD), a sports bra (~$34 USD), and a tank (~$20 USD).\n\nI look forward to hearing your thoughts on these initial details and\nlearning more about the next steps.\n\nBest regards,\n\nDarcy Neier\nFounder, NOURA Movement\n\nOn Thu, Mar 12, 2026 at 11:17\u202fAM Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Darcy,\n>\n> Thank you for contacting us.

It gives me a much clearer picture of your project.\n\nRegarding the quantities, I should clarify that our minimum production order is 200 units per style. This is the threshold that allows us to dedicate a production line and maintain the level of quality we're known for. I was wondering if meeting this quantity would be feasible for your launch collection?\n\nAs for the timeline, I completely agree that quality should never be rushed. To do things correctly, our full process from receiving the final designs to having the goods ready for shipment takes about five months. This includes careful material sourcing, prototyping, and the production itself. Also, it's important to consider that our partner factories have their annual shutdown for a few weeks in August.\n\nGiven this, a realistic delivery time for an order placed now would be around the end of September 2026. I hope this adjusted timeline can still work for your launch strategy.\n\nOnce we are aligned on these points, I would be happy to receive your tech packs next week.",
