Your wovenwear =\nsourcing and network of Portuguese manufacturing partners may help us =\nfind the right fabric and workshop.\n\n=20\n\nThe priority is a premium client kimono, designed as an elegant =\nalternative to a conventional hairdressing cape. It should cover the =\nknees and sleeves sufficiently when the client is seated, fit one =\nuniversal size, and close with adjustable snaps at the neck while =\nleaving room for a towel. It must protect clothing from water and hair =\ncolouring products, avoid lasting stains from dye, bleach and hairspray, =\nand withstand weekly washing. We would validate these requirements on =\nthe actual fabric and prototype before making any performance claims.\n\n=20\n\nThe first phase would be a paid pattern and physical prototype, =\nfollowed, if feasible, by about 20 identical kimonos for use in the =\nclient's new salon. We can work with one design, one existing fabric and =\none stock colour to keep the pilot practical. A later retail order may =\nfollow, but volumes are not yet known. The salon is expected to open =\nbetween March and June 2027.\n\n=20\n\nCould you please advise:\n\n1. Can you develop and sample this type of woven or technical kimono? As =\nan agency, could you identify a partner willing to develop a prototype =\nand make a 20-piece pilot, or advise the lowest realistic quantity?\n\n2. What stock fabrics could provide a light drape plus liquid protection =\nand stain resistance? Can you supply technical sheets, washing data and =\nany relevant test results? Are tests using actual salon chemicals =\npossible?\n\n3. What are the separate costs and lead times for pattern development, =\nswatches, one prototype, revisions and a final sample?\n\n4. Can you make a 20-piece pilot? If not, what is the minimum per style =\nand colour? Please quote indicative unit prices at 20, 50 and 100 pieces =\nwhere possible.\n\n5. What are the options and minimums for simple private-label care =\nlabels and packaging? Who owns the pattern and technical files?\n\n6. What are the production lead time, payment terms and delivery terms =\nto Belgium? Please distinguish manufacturing price from freight, duties =\nand taxes.\n\n=20\n\nIf the kimono is feasible, we may later explore matching capes, towels =\nand aprons. For now we are seeking a feasibility response and indicative =\nbudget, not placing an order. We can provide reference images and a =\ntechnical brief for the next step.\n\n=20\n\nKind regards,\n\nAlexandre Herman\n\nNextGen Studio\n\ncontact@nextgenstudio.pro =20\n\n=20\n\n=20\n\n\n\n=20\n\n=20\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided attached files (image001_6ae1971f86667.png).

            "content": "Hello Alexandre,\n\nThank you for reaching out to us at Portugal Textile. I appreciate your interest in developing a premium client kimono for your salon project.\n\nTo proceed with evaluating the feasibility of your project, I need to gather some specific information:\n\n1. **Tech Pack or Physical Sample:** Do you have a detailed Tech Pack or a Physical Sample for the kimono? If not, can you provide reference images or a technical brief?\n\n2. **Quantities:** You mentioned a pilot of about 20 kimonos. Our minimum order quantity for clothing is typically 200\u2013300 units per style. Would you be able to meet this MOQ, or is there flexibility in your initial order size?\n\n3. **Target Price:** What is your maximum target production price per kimono? This will help us assess the commercial viability of the project.\n\n4. **Desired Delivery Date:** You mentioned the salon is expected to open between March and June 2027. Could you specify your desired delivery timeline for the kimonos?\n\nOnce I have this information, I can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps.\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",
