            "content": "Dear Matilde,\nThank you for your quick response and for your interest in the Marcaffe Professional Collection.\nPlease find below some additional information regarding our project:\n1. Brand and Location\nMarcaffe is a coffee brand based in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We operate our own coffee shop locations and have an extensive HoReCa partner network.\nOur objective is to develop a high-quality and recognizable Marcaffe Professional Collection that can be used across our own locations and gradually introduced to selected HoReCa partners.\n2. Product Development \/ Tech Packs\nAt this stage, we do not have finalized Tech Packs or physical samples for all items.\nHowever, we have complete Marcaffe Brand Guidelines, an established visual identity and existing concepts and references that we can provide.\nIdeally, we are looking for a long-term partner who can support us not only with manufacturing, but also with product development \u2013 helping us translate our brand identity into technically suitable, durable and premium garments for professional daily use in coffee shops and HoReCa environments.\nWe are particularly interested in developing our own distinctive collection rather than simply applying the Marcaffe logo to standard catalogue garments.\n3. Product Categories and Estimated Potential Quantities\nAt this stage, we are considering the following approximate potential volumes:\n\nAprons: approximately 5,000 pieces in total, consisting of different models for baristas\/bartenders and waiters. We would like to develop both full-length premium barista aprons and waist aprons for waiters, all within a consistent Marcaffe design language.\nT-shirts: approximately 10,000 pieces\nMen\u2019s and women\u2019s shirts: approximately 10,000 pieces\nPremium polo shirts: approximately 5,000 pieces\nSoftshell \/ lightweight jackets: approximately 150\u2013200 pieces\nVests: approximately 100\u2013150 pieces\nCaps: approximately 200\u2013300 pieces\n\nThese quantities represent the estimated potential rollout volumes of the collection. The implementation may be structured in phases, with initial production followed by repeat orders, depending on the final designs, quality, pricing and rollout across our network.\nWe would therefore appreciate it if you could share your MOQ requirements per style, colour and size range, so that we can structure the collection and production plan accordingly.\n4. Prototypes and Timeline\nOur priority is quality and long-term consistency rather than rushing the project.\nIdeally, we would like to develop the first prototypes and samples within approximately 6\u201310 weeks, if feasible.\nWe would then evaluate and test the garments in real coffee shop and HoReCa working conditions before proceeding with the main production rollout.\nPlease let us know what development and production timeline you would recommend.\n5. Target Price\nAt this stage, we prefer not to define a strict target price before understanding the available materials, construction options and quality levels you can offer.\nOur objective is to create a genuinely premium professional collection, combining:\n\nHigh-quality and durable fabrics\nComfort and breathability during long working shifts\nResistance to frequent professional washing\nExcellent colour stability\nPremium embroidery and finishing\nConsistent sizing and quality across repeat orders\n\nWe are not looking for the lowest-cost solution. We are looking for the right balance between premium quality, distinctive design, durability and scalability.\nWe would therefore appreciate your recommendations regarding suitable materials and construction options, together with indicative pricing for the different product categories and quality levels.\nWe would also be interested in learning more about your experience with similar projects for hospitality, coffee, restaurant, hotel or other premium international brands.\nIf you believe that our project and estimated volumes are suitable for your production capabilities, I would be happy to send you our Marcaffe Brand Guidelines and existing visual concepts as the next step.\nOur goal is to establish a long-term partnership and develop a recognizable Marcaffe uniform concept that can grow together with our brand and HoReCa network.\nI look forward to hearing from you.Josip BabanMarcaffe dooDrazevici 86,71250 Kiseljak, BiHMob:+38763369330E-mail: josip@marcaffe.comwww.marcaffe.com17.07.2026., u 19:11, korisnik Matilde Azevedo <info@portugaltextile.com> je napisao:\ufeffHello Josip,\n\nThank you for reaching out to us.

Given your flexible timeline, we can aim to develop the first prototypes within your desired 6\u201310 weeks, but please be aware of our overall timeline for full production.\n\n4. **Target Price**: I understand you prefer not to define a strict target price at this stage. However, to proceed, we do need an indicative target price per style. This helps our technical team evaluate the feasibility of your project.\n\n5. **Materials and Construction**: We can discuss suitable materials and construction options once we have more details about your specific requirements and target price.\n\nTo move forward, could you please provide your indicative target price per style? Once we have this, we can proceed with evaluating your project and discussing the next steps.\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards.",
