Once they are ready, please let us know so we can proceed with the evaluation.\n\n2. **Quantities:** Your planned quantity of 300 pieces per style and per colour is feasible for us, as it meets our minimum order quantity requirements for activewear.\n\n3. **Target Price:** Could you please provide your maximum target production price per style for both the leggings and the fitted activewear top with an integrated bra? This will help us assess the viability of your project.\n\nRegarding your questions:\n\n- **MOQ & Pricing:** Our MOQ is 200 units per style. Your planned quantity is acceptable. Pricing details can only be provided after reviewing your Tech Packs and specific requirements.\n\n- **Fabrics & Development:** We offer a range of premium performance fabrics, including polyamide\/nylon-elastane blends.

We typically develop one sample per style for initial approval.
