            "content": "Hi Portugal Textile team,\n\nMy name is Marshall, and I'm launching a women's sock brand based in New\nYork. I saw you do embroidery on the ribbed leg cuff with flexible MOQs,\nwhich is exactly our style.\n\nWe're looking for women's ribbed quarter and crew socks in 50-100% cotton,\nwith a small embroidered design (tiny hearts, martini glasses, cherries)\nand some ruffle-cuff styles.\n\nWe'll have several designs and sizes, so volume per SKU is hard to predict\nearly on. A few questions:\n\n1. What is your MOQ per design, and per color or size within a design?\n2. What is the cost per pair for each SKU at 25, 50, 100, 200, 500 and\n1,000 pairs?\n3. How do you usually handle brands with many SKUs at lower volumes?\n4. Can you do ruffle cuffs as well as embroidery?\n5. What are your sample costs and sample and production lead times?\n\nThanks so much,\nMarshall",

I'm glad to hear you're interested in our embroidery capabilities.\n\nTo address your questions:\n\n1. Our minimum order quantity (MOQ) for socks is 1,000 units per style and per color. This is a strict requirement and cannot be adjusted for lower volumes.\n\n2. Regarding the cost per pair, accurate pricing depends on the technical specifications, materials, construction, and final quantities. We require all project requirements to be gathered first before determining the cost.\n\n3. For brands with many SKUs at lower volumes, we recommend consolidating designs to meet the MOQ or exploring other options that align with our production capabilities.\n\n4. We can certainly handle embroidery and ruffle cuffs on socks.\n\n5. Sample costs depend on the specific product and complexity of the design. Our sample lead time is typically 6\u20138 weeks, and production lead time is 10\u201314 weeks after order placement.\n\nIf you are able to meet our MOQ requirements, please let me know, and we can proceed with gathering more details about your project.\n\nBest regards,\nMatilde Azevedo",
