We are\nmoving from buying finished goods to making our own line, and we are\nlooking for one factory in Portugal to grow with: a partner who makes our\nfirst small run now and our larger runs as the line grows.\n\nThe first run is deliberately small, to test the styles in the Canadian\nmarket. Reorders and new styles would follow with the same factory.\n\nStyles\n1. Wrap skort with a front slit and contrast inner shorts (ball pocket on\nthe shorts)\n2. Pleated skort with inner shorts (ball pocket on the shorts) and a\ncontrast hem stripe\n3. Halter-neck court dress with an open back and separate matching shorts\n4. Crop top with a wide contrast underband\n5. Visor, or a headband cut from the same fabric if you do not make visors\n\nColours: five colourways per style.\n- Sunset: vertical gradient, pink to orange, yellow trim (sublimation on\nwhite base)\n- Aurora: vertical gradient, violet to teal, dark navy trim (sublimation on\nwhite base)\n- Ice: white with navy trim (fully opaque, lined where needed)\n- Midnight: navy with white trim\n- Black: plain black with silver trim and a silver logo (metallic heat\ntransfer or reflective tape, please advise)\nLogo: our \"popopen\" wordmark as a heat transfer on the waistband or chest\nof every piece.\nFabric: recycled polyester \/ elastane performance knit. EU-made fabric\npreferred.\nSizes: S, M, L for the first run.\nFirst run: 200 garments, 10 pcs per style per colourway (3 S, 4 M, 3 L), 50\nper style, plus 50 visors.\n\nPrice\nPrice is the deciding factor for us at this stage. Our target for this\nfirst run is 10 CAD per garment. We are asking several manufacturers, and\nwe will work with the one that gets closest to that now and gives us a\nclear path to lower unit costs as our volumes grow. Please quote your best\nprice and tell us what would bring it down: quantity, fabric choice,\nsimpler construction, or your existing block patterns.\n\nQuestions\n1. What is your lowest quantity per style and per colourway? Can the prints\ncount as colourways on one shared base fabric?\n2. Unit price per style at 10, 50, 100 and 300 pcs per colourway. Is the\nprice the same for every size?\n3. Development, pattern and sample costs per style. Are they credited\nagainst a bulk order or a reorder?\n4. Lead time for samples and for bulk production.\n5. Can you provide the CETA origin declaration for duty-free import into\nCanada, and sew in Canadian labels (fibre content in English and French,\n\"Made in Portugal\", our CA number)?\n6. Shipping to a warehouse in Toronto: do you arrange it, and on which\nterms?\n\nI can send sketches and colour references right away. Thank you, and I look\nforward to your reply.\n\nNoam\nPopopen \u00b7\nhttps:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/popopen.ca&source=gmail&ust=1791961849693000&sa=E\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided general web links (https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/popopen.ca&source=gmail&ust=1791961849693000&sa=E, https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/popopen.ca&source=gmail&ust=1791961849693000&sa=E).

It's great to hear about your brand, Popopen, and your plans to develop your own line of women's activewear.\n\nTo proceed with evaluating your project, I need to gather some specific details:\n\n1. **Tech Pack or Physical Sample:** Do you have a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample for the styles you mentioned?\n2. **Quantities:** You've mentioned a first run of 200 garments, 10 pieces per style per colourway. Could you confirm if this is per style or the total for all styles?\n3. **Target Price:** You've indicated a target price of 10 CAD per garment. Could you please confirm if this is your maximum target production price per style?\n4. **Desired Delivery Date:** What is your desired delivery date for the first run?\n\nRegarding your questions, I can provide some general information:\n\n- Our minimum order quantities are typically 200\u2013300 units per style.\n- We do not provide unit prices or estimates at this stage. Accurate pricing depends on the technical specifications, materials, construction, and final quantities.\n- Development, pattern, and sample costs depend on the specific product and complexity of the design.\n- Our lead times for sampling are approximately 6\u20138 weeks, and production is 10\u201314 weeks after order placement.\n- We can provide the CETA origin declaration and sew in Canadian labels as required.\n- Shipping is typically arranged on an Ex-Works basis, meaning the client manages and pays for shipping and insurance.\n\nOnce we have the complete project details, we can better assess your requirements. Please let me know if you have a Tech Pack or Physical Sample and confirm the quantities and target price.\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",

            "content": "Hello Matilde,\n\nThank you for the quick reply. Here are the answers to your questions.\n\n1. Tech pack: we do not have a full tech pack yet. We have sketches, colour\nreferences and a written spec for each style, and I can send them today. If\nyou develop tech packs, please tell me the cost per style.\n\n2. Quantities: 200 garments is the total for this first run: 4 styles, 50\npieces each (10 per colourway in 5 colourways), plus 50 visors. This is the\nquantity we want for now. It is a test of the styles in the Canadian market\nand of working together. If it goes well with you, we will move up to\nlarger orders with you.\n\n3. Price: 10 CAD per garment is the price we are working with for this\nfirst run. We see this as a partnership: if we grow together, you gain and\nwe gain. We are starting at 10 CAD for the small run, and as our orders get\nlarger we will expect the unit price to come down.\n\n4. Delivery: we would like the goods in Toronto by the end of March 2027.\n\nCould you tell me whether you can take on a first run on these terms?\n\nBest regards,\nNoam\nPopopen \u00b7\nhttps:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/popopen.ca&source=gmail&ust=1791971590577000&sa=E\n\nOn Tue, Oct 13, 2026 12:15 PM, Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Noam,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out to us at Portugal Textile.
