            "content": "Hi,\n\nMy name is Patrice and I am developing a new textile brand. We are starting\nwith a premium wool shawl\/wrap.\n\nThe design direction is a soft but structured wool wrap. It should feel\ncomfortable against the skin, but also have enough body to hold its shape\nwhen wrapped, folded or knotted. I have attached a visual reference to show\nthe general direction.\n\nI am looking for a fabric or production partner for the following:\n\n   - soft brushed merino wool, organic wool, fine wool, or merino-rich wool\n   blend;\n   - suitable for direct skin contact;\n   - woven construction preferred, not loose knit;\n   - approximately 360=E2=80=93430 g\/m=C2=B2;\n   - soft handfeel, but not floppy, stretchy, felted or blanket-like;\n   - compact enough to create a clean silhouette when worn;\n   - lightly brushed, steamed and pressed finish;\n   - suitable for a double-fold stitched hem;\n   - possibility for a slightly tapered or pointed shape to make tying\n   easier;\n   - neutral colour development;\n   - optional woven label attachment or personal label;\n   - small sampling first, followed by a limited first production.\n\nThe key product detail is the double-fold hem. I would like the edge to\nfeel clean, refined and slightly structured, almost like a soft frame\naround the shawl, without becoming bulky.\n\nCould you please let me know:\n\n   1. Do you offer soft wool, merino, organic wool, or merino-rich wool\n   qualities suitable for this type of shawl?\n   2. Can you share your catalogue or available wool qualities?\n   3. Can you send swatches in neutral tones?\n   4. Can you provide an indication of pricing for fabric and\/or finished\n   shawl production?\n   5. What are your minimum order quantities for sampling and production?\n   6. Can you produce finished shawls, or do you only supply fabric by the\n   metre\/roll?\n   7. Can you develop a custom shape with a slightly tapered or pointed end=\n?\n   8. Can you make a double-fold stitched hem or similar refined edge\n   finish?\n   9. Do you offer GOTS, RWS, OEKO-TEX, organic wool, mulesing-free or\n   other certifications?\n   10. Can you attach woven brand labels and\/or personal labels?\n\nThe product should feel like a soft, structured wool wrap rather than a\ntraditional scarf or felted burel cloth.\n\nThank you, and I look forward to hearing from you.\n\nKind regards,\nPatrice\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided attached files (Visual_reference_wool_shawl_wrap_6a265adaa36b7.png).

Please find the requested details below.\n\n*Brand*\nWe are currently in the process of setting up the brand, so we do not have\na website available yet. More brand details will follow once everything is\nfinalized.\n\n*Location*\nWe are based in the Netherlands.\n\n*Quantities*\nWe would like to start with a small order at first, approximately 50 pieces\nper item. For the initial collection, we are looking at producing the items\nin three different colors. We are also planning to expand the collection\nfurther, including products for kids and homewear products. This means the\nnumber of styles and order volume will increase over time.\n\n*Timeline*\nOur goal is to launch the brand and first item in October. Before that, we\nwould need to review swatches, finalize and approve the prototypes, and\nhave the first orders or initial pieces ready. If a full product launch in\nOctober is not feasible from a production timeline perspective, we are\nconsidering adding a pre-order or made-to-order element to our business\nmodel. Therefore, immediate full stock availability is not necessarily\nrequired from the start. However, we would need a number of finished pieces\nin advance for photography, brand building, and presentation purposes.\n\n*Target Price*\nAt this stage, we cannot confirm a target production price yet, as this\nwill strongly depend on the materials, quality, and finishing options\navailable. We would first like to review the different material options and\ndetermine which quality level is most suitable for the product. Based on\nthat, we will define the final sales price and assess the appropriate\nproduction price range.\n\nPlease let us know whether the above quantities and timeline would be\nfeasible, and what information you would need from us to move forward with\nswatches and prototyping.\n\nLooking forward to hearing from you.\n\nKind regards,\nPatrice\nOp ma 8 jun 2026 om 08:02 schreef Matilde Azevedo :\n\n> Hello Patrice,\n>\n> Thank you for contacting us.
