Portugal has an excellent\nreputation for textile craftsmanship and sustainable production, which is\nwhy I am reaching out to your company. I was wondering if your company is\nalso able to produce babyclothing?\n\nFor the collection, I am looking to develop and produce the following items=\n:\n\n   -\n\n   Baby bodysuit (romper)\n   -\n\n   Baby leggings\n   -\n\n   Wool cardigan\n\nOne of the products =E2=80=94 the leggings =E2=80=94 includes an innovative=\n concept that\nwill require some product development in collaboration with the\nmanufacturer. I am therefore specifically looking for a partner who has\nexperience with product development and is open to working together on new\ndesigns.\n\nCould you please let me know:\n\n   -\n\n   What it costs to produce samples\n   -\n\n   Whether you offer product development support\n   -\n\n   Your minimum order quantities (MOQ) and if a mix of colors and\/or sizes\n   is possible within these MOQ.\n   -\n\n   Typical lead times for samples production and bulk production\n   -\n\n   If you work with organic or certified materials (such as GOTS-certified\n   fabrics) and if you have any other certifications (REACH etc).\n\nI will share my technical specifications of the products with you and would\nlove for us to have a videocall, so I can tell you more about the idea and\nmy vision.

Thank you for sending your tech packs; I have received them.\n\nI can confirm we are certainly able to produce baby clothing. To answer your questions, we hold the GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification, which guarantees our commitment to environmentally and socially responsible production.\n\nAs a manufacturing facility, we work from finalized Tech Packs or physical samples provided by our clients. Our minimum for kidswear is 250 units per style and per color. The entire process, from confirmation through sampling and production, takes approximately six months. This timeframe is essential to uphold the high-quality craftsmanship that Portuguese textiles are celebrated for.\n\nTo get a better sense of your project, could you share a few more details? It would be helpful to know the quantities you are planning for each style and your target production price for the bodysuit, leggings, and cardigan. Also, what is your desired delivery date for the collection?\n\nOnce I have these details, I can provide a more thorough analysis.",

I appreciate the\ndetailed information about your production process and your GOTS\ncertification, this is very important for our brand.\n\nIt is great to hear that you have experience producing baby clothing.\n\nRegarding quantities, as a new brand we are planning a first small\nproduction run to test the market. At the moment, we are considering an\ninitial order of approximately:\n\n\u2022 Bodysuit: 250\u2013300 units\n\u2022 Leggings: 250\u2013300 units\n\u2022 Wool cardigan: 250 units\n\nWould it be possible to mix sizes within these quantities?\n\nDepending on demand and the success of the first collection, we plan to\nincrease volumes in future orders.\n\nIn terms of target production price, we are currently still evaluating this\ntogether with our material choices. However, our goal is to position the\nbrand in the premium babywear segment, focusing on high-quality fabrics and\ncraftsmanship. I can give you our estimated FOB prices per product so you\nhave an idea about how much your production costs might be:\n\n- Baby romper: 12 euros\n- Baby leggings with detachable socks: 12 euros\n- Knitted cardigan: 18-20 euros\n\nOur desired delivery date for the first collection would ideally be around\naugust\/september.\n\nI would be happy to discuss fabric options, development possibilities for\nthe leggings, and the next steps in the sampling process. Please also let\nme know if you require any additional technical details at this stage. If a\nvideocall would be preferred, that's no problem!\n\nThank you again for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.\n\nKind regards,\nFrederique Otten\n\n+31612499377\n\nOn Wed, Mar 4, 2026 at 1:51\u202fPM Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Frederique,\n>\n> Thank you for contacting us.
