            "content": "Dear Matilde,\n\nThank you for your reply and for taking the time to review the information I sent.\n\nI am very happy to provide some additional details.\n\n1. Quantities and number of styles\nThe wider Harris Collection is currently being developed around approximately eight core product styles, including technical outerwear, midlayers, technical tops, trousers and accessories. However, I do not necessarily expect a single manufacturer to produce the entire collection, as I am looking to work with suppliers according to their particular manufacturing expertise.\nFor Portugal Textiles, my immediate interest is in the Harris ?-Zip Technical Hoodie Mk2 that I have already provided details for.\n\nI would also be interested in discussing whether Portugal Textiles could potentially manufacture two related products:\nHarris Long-Sleeve Technical Top Mk2\nHarris Short-Sleeve Technical Top Mk2\nFor the initial production, my current planning assumption is approximately 50?100 units per style, distributed across the required size range.\n\nTherefore, if Portugal Textiles were suitable for all three styles, the potential initial order would be approximately 150?300 finished garments in total.\n\nI appreciate that your minimum order quantities may differ from this, so I would be grateful if you could advise your MOQ per style and colour. As a new brand, I am particularly interested in establishing a supplier relationship that allows a controlled initial production run, followed by repeat orders as sales develop.\n\n2. Timeline\nMy preferred target for delivery of the first commercial production would be approximately March?April 2027.\nAt this stage, I have some flexibility with the exact delivery date. My priority is to allow sufficient time for fabric selection, initial samples, fit development, revisions, product testing and final pre-production approval before bulk manufacturing begins.\nI would welcome your advice on whether this timeline is realistic based on your normal development and production schedule.\n\n3. Target production prices\nMy current target production prices are approximately:\nHarris ?-Zip Technical Hoodie Mk2: ?35??50 per finished unit\nHarris Long-Sleeve Technical Top Mk2: ?18??28 per finished unit\nHarris Short-Sleeve Technical Top Mk2: ?15??24 per finished unit\nThese are initial target ranges rather than fixed maximum prices. Final pricing will naturally depend on fabric selection, technical construction, trims, branding, order quantities and packaging requirements.\nMy priority is to produce a genuinely premium-quality product, so I would be very interested in your professional advice on what specifications and price levels are realistically achievable through your production in Portugal.\nIf the hoodie project is of interest and the two technical tops are within your manufacturing capabilities, I would be happy to send you the separate Mk2 concept sheets and supplier specifications for those products as well.\nI would also be interested to understand whether there may be any benefit in developing these three related styles together?for example through shared fabric sourcing, colour matching or combined production quantities?while maintaining the individual technical requirements of each product.\nThank you again for considering the project. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and learning more about how Portugal Textiles may be able to work with Hebridean Wild.\n\nBest regards,\nAdrian Morley\nFounder\nHebridean Wild\n\nBorn of the Hebrides.

            "content": "Dear Matilde,\nThank you for the quick and helpful response.\nI completely understand your minimum order requirements.\nAt this stage, as Hebridean Wild is a new brand preparing for its initial launch, I don't want to commit to 200?300 units per style before we have established initial customer demand. My current strategy is deliberately based around smaller first production runs, followed by repeat orders as individual products prove themselves.\nFor that reason, your current MOQ may unfortunately be above what I can responsibly commit to for the initial launch.\nHowever, I remain very interested in Portugal Textiles as a potential manufacturing partner as the brand develops, particularly if our production volumes increase following the initial launch.\nBefore putting the project on hold, could I ask whether your MOQ of 200?300 units per style is an absolute minimum for the initial production, or whether there is any flexibility during product development?for example, through a paid sampling\/development programme followed by a smaller first production run at a higher unit price?\nI would also be interested to know whether MOQ flexibility can sometimes be achieved by using fabrics already available within your supply chain, rather than requiring a custom fabric production run.\nIf neither option is possible, I completely understand and would be very happy to keep your details and potentially revisit the relationship once Hebridean Wild reaches the production volumes required.\nThank you again for taking the time to consider the project.\nBest regards,\nAdrian Morley\nFounder\nHebridean Wild\nBorn of the Hebrides.
