            "content": "Hello Matilde,\n\nThank you very much for your detailed response and for taking the time to review my enquiry.\n\nI am pleased to hear that Portugal Textile can develop fully customised patterns and garments from original concepts, and I appreciate your willingness to sign an NDA before receiving our confidential designs.\n\nPlease find my answers below:\n\n  1.  Tech Packs \/ Samples\n\nWe currently have a visual design dossier covering the eight original designs, together with our brand direction, product features and material requirements.\n\nWe are now preparing the detailed Tech Packs. We do not have physical samples because the designs are original and are being developed from scratch.\n\nBefore sharing the complete visual and technical files, I would be happy to sign an NDA with your company.\n\n  1.  Initial quantities\n\nAt this first stage, we only want to develop and test one prototype of each design:\n\n  *   4 sports tops\n  *   1 full-length legging\n  *   2 sports shorts\n  *   1 sports skirt with built-in shorts\n\nThis would be a total of eight prototypes, all in women?s size S and deep black.\n\nAfter testing the fit, durability, comfort and washing performance of the prototypes, we will select the final styles for the first commercial launch.\n\nFor the initial bulk production, our preference is to begin with a small quantity in order to validate market demand. We understand that your standard MOQ is 200?300 units per style, and we would therefore like to ask:\n\n  *   Is it possible to develop the eight prototypes without committing immediately to the bulk MOQ?\n  *   Do you offer a lower MOQ for a first test production or emerging brands?\n  *   Could the MOQ be distributed between several styles if they use the same fabric and colour?\n\n  1.  Target production price\n\nAs this is our first development phase and the styles include custom patterns, technical mesh, woven elastic and metal branding details, we would prefer to receive your recommended price range after your technical team reviews the designs.\n\nOur priority is premium quality, durability and technical performance rather than achieving the lowest possible price.\n\n  1.  Timeline\n\nOur preferred timeline would be:\n\n  *   NDA and design review: as soon as possible\n  *   First prototype development: within your estimated 6?8 weeks\n  *   Testing and revisions: immediately after receiving the prototypes\n  *   Bulk production: to be confirmed after prototype approval and market validation\n\nWe do not currently have a fixed launch date because we want to ensure that every garment meets our quality standards before going into production.\n\nCould you also please confirm the following before we send the dossier?\n\n  *   The approximate cost range for developing one fully customised prototype.\n  *   Whether you can produce only the eight initial prototypes at this stage.\n  *   Whether OEKO-TEX?, GRS or other certifications are available for the nylon\/elastane technical fabrics you recommend.\n  *   Whether your team can develop the custom woven elastic bands, mesh panels and rose-gold metal ?D? detail.\n  *   Whether you have your own NDA template, or if you would prefer us to provide one.\n\nThank you again for your detailed response.\n\nI look forward to learning whether Portugal Textile can support the prototype phase and potentially become a long-term manufacturing partner for DESIR?.\n\nKind regards,\n\nDesir? ?lvarez\nFounder\nDESIR?\nSpain\n\n\n\n\nEnviado desde Outlook para iOS\n________________________________\nDe: Matilde Azevedo \nEnviado: Sunday, 12 July 2026 12:08:12\nPara: desirealvarezpena@hotmail.com \nAsunto: Re: Premium Women?s Activewear Development ?
