            "content": "Hello Omer,\n\nThank you for reaching out and providing detailed information about Say Less Studios. It's great to hear about your brand and the exciting new collection you're developing.\n\nTo proceed with evaluating your project, I need to confirm a few key details:\n\n1. **Quantities:** Could you please specify the total quantity you intend to produce per style and per colourway for the final production collection?\n\n2. **Target Price:** What is your maximum target production price per style? Please indicate this separately for each style.\n\n3. **Desired Delivery Date:** What is your desired delivery date for the final production?\n\nRegarding your questions:\n\n- **Sampling Costs:** The cost of a sample depends on the specific product and complexity of the design. The exact sample cost can only be confirmed after our team evaluates the Tech Pack or physical sample.\n  \n- **MOQ:** Our minimum order quantities vary by product category. For example, general clothing items typically require 200\u2013300 units per style, with a minimum of 100 units per colour. Caps require a minimum of 500 units per style.\n\n- **Lead Times:** Our standard lead time from approved Tech Pack to first sample is approximately 6\u20138 weeks. Production typically takes 10\u201314 weeks after order placement. Please note that factory closures in August and December may affect these timelines.\n\n- **Capabilities:** We have our own production facilities for some product categories and work closely with a network of specialised manufacturing partners for others. The production setup depends on the specific product category, construction, materials, and type of design required. Regarding your specific technical requirements and machinery, I cannot confirm this at my level. I have gathered your project details and will forward them to our technical team. They will analyze your requirements and confirm directly with you how we will handle the development of your product.\n\nPlease let me know the missing details, and I will be happy to assist you further.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",

            "content": "Hi Matilde,\n\n\nThank you for the detailed reply and for forwarding our project to your\ntechnical team.\n\n\nI\u2019m happy to provide the additional information:\n\n\nRegarding quantities, our current plan is to start with approximately 100\nunits per style, divided between two colourways where applicable. However,\ndepending on the final pricing, we may increase the quantities to 200\u2013250\nunits per style.\n\n\nFor this reason, I would ideally like to receive production pricing at\ndifferent quantity levels \u2014 100 \/ 250 \/ 500 units per style \u2014 so I can\nproperly evaluate the most suitable production volume.\n\n\nRegarding target prices, they vary significantly between categories, so I\nwould prefer to share them together with the Tech Packs and product\nbreakdown rather than give one general target across the collection. At the\nsame time, I would also appreciate seeing your initial quotation based on\nour specifications, as this will help us understand whether our\nexpectations are aligned.\n\n\nOur target delivery for the final production is around January\u2013February\n2027, ideally as early as possible within that window.\n\n\nI do have two points I would like to clarify before moving forward:\n\n\nThe MOQ of 200\u2013300 units per clothing style and especially 500 units per\ncap is currently higher than what we initially planned for this collection.\nSince this would be our first production together, would there be any\npossibility of starting with lower quantities for the first order, even if\nthis involves a reasonable surcharge per unit?\n\n\nAlso, the 6\u20138 week timeline from an approved Tech Pack to the first sample\nis quite long for our development schedule. I would be interested to\nunderstand whether there is any possibility of an accelerated sampling\nprocess, particularly since we are planning to provide detailed Tech Packs,\nartwork files, measurements, fabric references, and physical reference\ngarments where necessary.\n\n\nI\u2019m looking for a manufacturing partner that we can build a long-term\nrelationship with, rather than just a supplier for one collection, so I\u2019m\ndefinitely open to discussing how we can structure the first order in a way\nthat works for both sides.\n\n\nOnce your technical team has reviewed the project, I would be happy to\narrange a call and go through the collection style by style.\n\n\nLooking forward to hearing your thoughts.\n\n\nBest regards,\nOmer\nSay Less Studios\n\n\nOn Wed, 26 Aug 2026 at 12:51 Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Omer,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out and providing detailed information about Say\n> Less Studios.

            "content": "Hello Omer,\n\nThank you for providing the additional details and clarifications.\n\nRegarding your questions:\n\n1. **MOQ Flexibility:** Our minimum order quantities are non-negotiable due to the production setup and cost efficiency. For clothing, the minimum is 200\u2013300 units per style, and for caps, it is 500 units per style. Unfortunately, we cannot start with lower quantities, even with a surcharge.\n\n2. **Accelerated Sampling:** While our standard timeline for sampling is 6\u20138 weeks, we understand the importance of meeting your development schedule. However, due to the complexity and quality standards we maintain, we cannot guarantee an accelerated process at this stage. Our technical team will review your detailed Tech Packs and requirements to see if any adjustments can be made.\n\n3. **Target Price:** We require a maximum target production price per style to evaluate the project. This helps us ensure that your expectations align with our capabilities before proceeding to a formal quotation.\n\n4. **Delivery Date:** Your target delivery window of January\u2013February 2027 is feasible, considering our production timelines and factory closures.\n\nOnce you provide the target prices for each style, I will forward your project details to our technical team for further evaluation. They will contact you directly to discuss the next steps.\n\nThank you for considering a long-term partnership with us. We look forward to potentially working together.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",
