            "content": "Hello Athba,\n\nThank you for contacting us about your premium women's activewear brand. I'm excited to assist you with your project.\n\nTo provide you with accurate information, I need to gather a few more details:\n\n1. **Quantities**: What is the total quantity you plan to produce, and how many styles do you intend to create? Please note that our minimum order quantity for general clothing is 200\u2013300 units per style.\n\n2. **Target Price**: What is your target production price per style? This will help us understand your budget expectations.\n\nRegarding your specific questions:\n\n- **Fabric Development**: I cannot confirm the availability of specific fabrics or components at my level. I will forward your requirements to our technical team, who will analyze your needs and confirm if we can develop or source the exact materials you require.\n\n- **Custom Fabric Printing**: We do offer custom fabric printing, and there is an additional initial cost for setting up prints and patterns.\n\n- **Sample Development Costs**: The cost of a sample depends entirely on the complexity of each specific design. We need to evaluate your Tech Pack or physical sample to provide a proper sample quotation.\n\n- **Sampling Timeline**: Sampling typically takes 6-8 weeks.\n\n- **Certifications**: We hold the GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification, which guarantees our commitment to environmentally and socially responsible production.\n\n- **Pattern and Tech-Pack Development**: We do not provide design services or develop tech packs from sketches or reference designs. We require a Tech Pack or a physical sample to proceed.\n\nOnce I have the additional details regarding quantities and target price, I can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps. Please remember that shipping instructions for samples are only provided after our team analyzes and approves the complete project details.\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards.",

            "content": "Hello Matilde,\n\nThank you for your detailed response.\n\nFor our initial launch, we are planning a capsule collection consisting of three coordinated sets. Each set will include leggings, a sports bra, and a wrap top, for a total of 9 garment designs.\n\nAs this will be our first production run, we would ideally like to begin with the lowest feasible quantity while testing the market. Could you please clarify whether the 200\u2013300 unit MOQ applies to each individual garment design, or whether quantities can be combined across the collection, sizes, colors, or prints?\n\nIn terms of positioning, our goal is to create an accessible premium activewear brand. We want the garments to have a high-end look, fit, fabric quality, and finish while remaining reasonably priced for the customer.\n\nFor initial development, our approximate target production costs would be:\n\n\u2022 Leggings: \u20ac15\u201322 per unit\n\u2022 Sports bra: \u20ac10\u201317 per unit\n\u2022 Wrap top: \u20ac12\u201319 per unit\n\nThese are initial targets rather than strict limits, as we understand that custom printing, lower quantities, and our material requirements may affect pricing. We would be happy to review your recommendations if a different range is necessary to achieve the quality we are looking for.\n\nOur key material requirement remains zero polyester and zero recycled polyester. We are open to your technical team's recommendations regarding organic cotton, TENCEL Lyocell, modal, or other suitable fibers combined with an appropriate non-polyester stretch component.\n\nWe are currently preparing our Tech Packs and would first like to establish whether the material requirements, approximate pricing, and production quantities are feasible.\n\nI look forward to hearing your team's recommendations.\n\nBest regards,\nAthba Al Otaiba\n\n\n> On 11 Aug 2026, at 11:32 AM, Matilde Azevedo  wrote:\n> \n> Hello Athba,\n> \n> Thank you for contacting us about your premium women's activewear brand.

For your capsule collection, the minimum order quantity of 200\u2013300 units applies to each individual garment design. This means that each of the leggings, sports bras, and wrap tops would need to meet this MOQ separately. Unfortunately, quantities cannot be combined across different designs, sizes, colors, or prints to meet the minimums.\n\nRegarding your target production costs, thank you for sharing those details. Your target prices are noted, and our technical team will take them into consideration when evaluating your project. \n\nAs for your material requirements, I will forward your specifications to our technical team to see if we can develop or source the exact materials you need, including the zero-polyester requirement. They will analyze your needs and confirm directly with you if our facilities have the capabilities to develop your product.\n\nOnce you have your Tech Packs ready, please let us know, and we can proceed with the next steps. If you have any further questions or need clarification, feel free to reach out.\n\nBest regards.",
