            "content": "Dear Matilde,\n\nThank you for your prompt response and for explaining your approach to\nevaluating new projects.\n\nFirstly, a small correction to my initial email: our brand name is\n*Blazique*, not BALZER. Apologies for the confusion.\n\nWe understand that you generally assess projects with a view to future bulk\nproduction. Our intention is also to establish a long-term manufacturing\nrelationship, subject to approval of the initial prototypes, quality and\ncommercial terms.\n\nIn response to your questions:\n\n   1.\n\n   *Quantities:* We have four initial blazer styles. For the first\n   commercial run, we are exploring approximately *25\u201350 units per style*\n   (100\u2013200 units in total), with scope to increase quantities if the\n   collection performs well. These are planning estimates rather than a\n   confirmed order.\n   2.\n\n   *Target price:* We are still establishing our final costing targets and\n   would prefer to assess your recommended fabrics, construction and\n   ex-factory pricing before setting a firm maximum. Could you please provide\n   indicative unit prices at *25, 50 and 100 units per style*, or advise\n   your actual minimum order quantity, so we can assess feasibility?\n   3.\n\n   *Timeline:* We would aim to move into production once the prototypes and\n   fit are approved, ideally with delivery approximately *8\u201312 weeks after\n   final sample approval*, subject to your production schedule. We would\n   appreciate your advice on realistic sampling and manufacturing lead times.\n\nCould you please also clarify whether you would consider proceeding with\nthe four development samples on the basis of this indicative production\nplan, *without a binding bulk-production commitment until the samples and\nfinal quotation have been approved*? If a firm commitment is required\nbefore sampling, it would be helpful to understand the minimum quantity and\ncommercial terms involved.\n\nWe are particularly interested in your tailoring expertise and would\nwelcome a proposal that could work for both parties.\n\nThank you again, and I look forward to your feedback.\n\nKind regards,\nRonin Burns\nBlazique\nSouth Africa\n\nOn Mon, 12 Oct 2026 20:10:08 +0100, Matilde Azevedo info@portugaltextile.com\nwrote:\n\nHello Ronin,\n\nThank you for reaching out to us and for sharing your preliminary technical\npack for the blazer prototypes.

            "content": "Hello Ronin,\n\nThank you for the clarification regarding your brand name, Blazique, and for providing additional details about your project.\n\nRegarding your inquiry about proceeding with development samples without a binding bulk-production commitment, our standard practice is to engage in projects that align with our minimum order quantities (MOQs). For blazers, our MOQ is typically 200\u2013300 units per style. Unfortunately, the quantities you mentioned (25\u201350 units per style) fall below our standard MOQ, and we would not be able to proceed with the project under these terms.\n\nAs for the target price, we require a maximum target production price per style to evaluate the commercial viability of the project. This helps us ensure that we can meet your expectations and provide a feasible proposal.\n\nRegarding the timeline, our standard production cycle is a minimum of 5 full calendar months from the current date, considering our development and production lead times, as well as factory closure periods in August and December.\n\nIf you are able to meet our MOQ and provide a target price, we would be happy to further discuss the potential for collaboration. Please let us know if you can adjust your quantities to meet our requirements.\n\nThank you for considering us as your manufacturing partner, and we look forward to the possibility of working together.\n\nBest regards,",
