            "content": "Hi,\n\nThank you for the detailed information. The development process you \ndescribed is aligned with what I am looking for with SNTMNT.\n\nFor the initial development stage, I would like to begin with one complete \nSize L Washed Black hoodie and sweatpants set before committing to bulk \nproduction. The goal is to perfect the fabric, construction, oversized fit, \nmeasurements, graphics\/embroidery, and overall quality before grading the \napproved sample into M\u2013XXL.\n\nThe intended fabric is approximately 460 GSM heavyweight cotton, with a \npremium heavyweight streetwear feel.\n\nBefore moving forward, I would like to clarify a few points regarding your \nMOQ structure. If the hoodie and sweatpants are considered two separate \nstyles, would the MOQ apply separately to each garment? Additionally, is \nthere any flexibility on the MOQ for a startup brand\u2019s first production run \nafter development is completed?\n\nI am currently finalizing the technical information for the collection and \ncan provide the tech packs for review.\n\nCould you also provide an estimated development cost and estimated \nproduction price range for a 460 GSM heavyweight oversized hoodie and \nmatching sweatpants once you review the technical packs?\n\nI understand final pricing will depend on the specifications, materials, \nartwork, and quantities.\n\nThank you,\nMalcolm\nSNTMNT\n\n\n\nSent from my iPhone\n\n\nOn Sep 14, 2026, at 03:50, Matilde Azevedo  \nwrote:\n\n\n\nHi Malcolm ,\n\n\n\n\nThank you very much for your contact. It\u2019s a pleasure to meet you and learn \nmore about your collection.\n\n\n\n\nAbsolutarget is a fashion supplier based in Vila do Conde, Portugal, \nspecialized in the development and production of high-quality and \nsustainable fashion collections. Our company is divided into two \ndepartments: Portugal Textile, focused on clothing and home textiles, and \nPortugal Shoes, dedicated to footwear and accessories.\n\n\n\n\nWith over 20 years of experience, we have supported fashion brands, \nstartups, and influencers in bringing their collections to life. From \nconcept development to material sourcing, pattern making and sizing, \nsampling, production, quality control, packaging, and delivery, we manage \nevery stage of the process.\n\n\n\n\nDelivery Times\n\n\u2022 Sampling: 8 weeks\n\n\u2022 Production: 10-14 weeks after the order is placed\n\nPlease note that factories close for holidays 2\/3 weeks in August and 2 \nweeks in December. Delivery times may also be affected by certain \ncircumstances such as supplier delays or fabric defects.\n\n\n\n\nQuantities(MOQ)\n\nOur general MOQs are 200\u2013300 units per style, with a minimum of 100 units \nper color.\n\nIf you wish to develop only one style, the MOQ is 400 units per style.\n\nPlease let us know if these quantities are workable for you.\n\n\n\n\nFees\n\n\u2022 Development fee: Price depends on each style - it includes a prototype \n(manufacturing, sourcing of materials, pattern making and sizing, quality \ncheck for approval). The development fee will be communicated to the client \nonce we have all the information about the collection.\n\n\u2022 Adjustments* (confirmation sample, PPS, shipping samples, etc.): Double \nprice (for example, if the production price is 20\u20ac, it will be charged 40\u20ac).\n\n\u2022 Prints and embroideries: Please note that there is an additional initial \ncost for setting up local and digital prints, all-overs and embroideries.\n\n\u2022 Payment method for development: 50% in advance and 50% before shipping the \nprototypes.\n\n\u2022 Payment method for production: 50% in advance and 50% before shipping.\n\n* Adjustments will only be made after you place the final order, until the \nfinal result is achieved.\n\n\n\n\nShipping\n\nWhile we do not directly handle shipping, we collaborate with trusted \nlogistics partners (ex-works). We can provide competitive shipping quotes \nfrom our partners or share their contact details if preferred. Clients are \nalso welcome to arrange their own shipping or provide their courier account.\n\nPlease note that we operate strictly on an EXW (Ex Works) basis. This means \nthat once goods leave our factory, we are not responsible for any damage, \nloss, or delays during transport.\n\n\n\n\nNext Steps\n\nTo move forward with the project analysis, it is mandatory for us to \nreceive:\n\n*\nTechnical packs or physical samples for each style you wish to develop\n\n*\nQuantities per style and per color, in line with the MOQs mentioned above\n\n*\nYour target production deadline and confirmation if the timelines above are \nsuitable\n\n*\nYour production price per style, indicated separately for each style\n\nThank you again for your time.\n\nWe look forward to hearing from you.\n\n\n\n\nHave a lovely day!",
