Our designs feature details such as sailor collars, contrast piping, structured collars and cuffs, embroidery and other traditional finishes.\n\n\n\n\nQuality and attention to detail are particularly important to us. We are looking to use premium fabrics including cotton, corduroy, velvet, wool and knitted fabrics\/yarns, with the aim of achieving a high-quality European childrenswear finish.\n\n\n\n\nWe currently have sketches and detailed visual concepts for our designs and would require support with the technical development process, including pattern development, fabric\/yarn sourcing, sizing and grading, sampling and eventual bulk production.\n\n\n\n\nAs Casa de Primos is a new brand, we would initially like to develop samples before moving into relatively small first-production quantities, with the intention of increasing our order volumes as the brand grows.\n\n\n\n\nCould you please provide information regarding:\n\n\n\n   \n   - Your MOQ and whether this applies per style, per colourway or per fabric\/colour\n   - Whether quantities can be divided across different sizes within the MOQ\n   - Your sample and development costs, including whether sample revisions are included\n   - Whether you can develop garments from our existing sketches and visual designs\n   - Whether you provide pattern development, grading and\/or technical packs\n   - Your fabric and yarn sourcing capabilities, particularly premium cotton, corduroy, velvet, wool and knitwear\n   - Whether you manufacture fully fashioned\/knitted garments as well as cut-and-sew garments\n   - Whether custom colours\/Pantone colour matching are available\n   - Approximate unit pricing at 50, 100 and 250 units per style\n   - Sample and bulk-production lead times\n   - Custom branding options, including woven labels, care labels, swing tags, embroidery and packaging\n   - Relevant certifications and compliance standards for children\u2019s clothing\n   - Your payment terms and shipping options to the UK\n   - What information or files you would require from us to begin the development and quotation process\n\n\n\n\nWe would be very happy to send over a selection of our designs so you can better understand the aesthetic, construction and quality we are looking to achieve.\n\n\n\n\nWe are particularly interested in finding a manufacturer with experience in premium children\u2019s clothing and detailed traditional garments, and we would love to explore whether Casa de Primos could be a good fit for your production capabilities.\n\n\n\n\nThank you for your time and we look forward to hearing from you.\n\n\n\n\nKind regards,\n\nChloe & Claudia\n\nCo-Founders\n\nCasa de Primos",

            "content": "Hello Chloe and Claudia,\n\nThank you for reaching out and sharing details about Casa de Primos. Your focus on quality and traditional designs for children's clothing sounds wonderful, and we would be delighted to explore the possibility of working together.\n\nTo provide you with an accurate analysis for your project, I need the following details:\n\n1. **Tech Packs or Physical Samples**: Do you have a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample to send us? If not, do you have links to websites with similar products?\n2. **Quantities**: What is the total quantity you are considering, and how many styles do you intend to create? Please note that our minimum order quantity for kidswear is 250 units per style\/color.\n3. **Target Price**: What is your target production price per style?\n\nRegarding your questions:\n\n- Our MOQ for kidswear is 250 units per style\/color. Quantities can be divided across different sizes within the MOQ.\n- Sample and development costs depend on the complexity of each design. We need to evaluate your Tech Pack or physical sample to provide a proper sample quotation.\n- We do not provide pattern development, grading, or technical packs. We require a Tech Pack or a physical sample to proceed.\n- We have our own production facilities for some product categories and work closely with a network of specialized manufacturing partners for others. The production setup depends on the specific product category, construction, materials, and type of design required.\n- We hold the GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification, which guarantees our commitment to environmentally and socially responsible production.\n- Payment terms are typically 50% advance and 50% before shipping, with shipping options available to the UK.\n\nOnce I have the above details, I can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps. Please remember that shipping instructions are only provided after our team analyzes and approves the complete project details.\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards.",

We are currently looking for the right manufacturing\/development partner to help us take our designs from concept through to sampling and eventual production.\n\n\n\n\nWe can provide detailed visual references for each garment, including the intended silhouette, colours, fabrics, trims and design details, as well as reference products where useful.\n\n\n\n\nBefore sending these over, could you please clarify whether a professionally completed Tech Pack or physical sample is an absolute requirement for you to begin development?\n\n\n\n\nFor example, would your team be able to develop an initial sample from our detailed designs alongside measurements, construction specifications and reference garments\/images, or would we need to have the patterns and Tech Packs professionally developed by a third party before approaching you?\n\n\n\n\nRegarding quantities, as this is our first collection, we are currently assessing production quantities alongside the MOQ requirements of potential manufacturing partners. We understand your MOQ is 250 units per style\/colour and appreciate that this can be divided across sizes.\n\n\n\n\nIn terms of target production price, we do not want to provide an unrealistic figure before understanding the manufacturing requirements of each design. As the pieces vary considerably in construction and materials, we would prefer to receive an indicative quotation based on the designs and specifications once reviewed.\n\n\n\n\nIf a completed Tech Pack is required before you can assess pricing, please let us know and we can take this into consideration as part of our development process.\n\n\n\n\nThank you again for your help.\n\n\n\n\nKind regards,\n\nChloe & Claudia\n\nCo-Founders\n\nCasa de Primos",

            "content": "Hello Chloe and Claudia,\n\nThank you for your detailed response. I understand that you are in the early stages of development and are looking for a partner to help bring your designs to life.\n\nTo proceed with the development and sampling, we do require either a Tech Pack or a physical sample. These are essential for us to accurately assess the construction, materials, and specifications needed for your designs. Unfortunately, we do not provide pattern development or create Tech Packs, so having these professionally developed by a third party would be necessary before we can begin the sampling process.\n\nRegarding your target production price, I understand your hesitation to provide a figure without knowing the manufacturing requirements. However, to move forward, we do need an indicative target price per style. This helps our technical team evaluate the feasibility of your project within your budget.\n\nPlease let me know if you can provide a target price and if you plan to develop the Tech Packs externally. Once we have this information, we can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps.\n\nThank you for considering us as your manufacturing partner, and I look forward to your response.\n\nBest regards.",
