            "content": "Hi Matilde,\u00a0\nThank you for quick reply.\nAt this stage, I am still evaluating materials and development partners, so all details are not yet finalized.\nMy current thoughts are:- Number of styles: At first, 1 LeSus No. 1 Blazer. Two colours.\u00a0- Expected first producion run: approximatly 50-100 pieces, depending on prototype development and market feedback.- Desired production price: ideally within EUR 60-90 EUR per blazer, however I am open to recommendations if adjustments to materials or constructions are needed to achieve a commercially viable retail price of EUR 300-350.\u00a0- Timeline: currently flexible, as I would like to complete fabric selection and prototype development before comitting to production.\nThe reason I am focusing on fabrics first, is that the fabric, rib knit and lining choices will be key design elements of the blazer.\nLeSus and this blazer is intended to bridge the gap between formal tailoring and everyday comfort, allowing women to feel well-dessed without feeling overdressed.\nOne of the most important factors for me is finding a partner who understand the concept behind the garment.Because of this, fabric selection, fit and construction details are extremely important.\u00a0\u00a0A good working relationship and a shared understanding of product vision are just as important to me as price and production cspabilities.\nBefore requesting physical swatches, would it be possible for your technical team to recommend a small selection of existing fabrics that could match the project requirements outlined in the attached document? Photos, fabric specifications, compositions, weight and price levels. This would help us narrow down the most suitable options before requesting physical samples.\nI am particulary interested in understanding which fabric qualities you believe would be suitable before forward with prototype develompend.\nI look forward to hearing from you,\u00a0\nBest regards Susan Gangstad\n  \n\nYahoo Mail: S\u00f8k, organiser, erobre \n \n   ----- Videresendt melding ----- Fra: \"Matilde Azevedo\"  Til: \"susangangstad@yahoo.no\"  Kopi:  Sendt: s\u00f8n. 2. aug.. 2026 kl. 18.06 Emne: Re: New Womenswear Brand \u2013 LeSus No. 1 Blazer Jacket  Hello Susan,\n\nThank you for reaching out and sharing your vision for LeSus.
