            "content": "Dear Matilde, Thank you for your reply and for forwarding the SCHAAF project to your technical team. I appreciate your time and look forward to hearing their assessment regarding your experience and capabilities in developing premium performance grip socks. Please find the requested information below: 1. Quantities As SCHAAF is a new premium performance brand, we are currently looking to develop our first production run. Our initial target order is expected to be between 200 to 1000 pairs, depending on your MOQ requirements and the outcome of the prototype development. If the collaboration is successful, our intention is to establish a long-term partnership with significantly larger production volumes as the brand grows. 2. Target Production Price Our primary objective is to develop a high-quality premium product rather than achieve the lowest possible manufacturing cost. Based on our current market research, we are targeting a production cost of approximately 2.00\u20134.00 euros per pair , depending on the final material selection, grip technology, construction, and packaging specifications. If your technical team believes a different price point is necessary to achieve the desired quality, we would appreciate your recommendations. Please forward the project details to your technical team to see if you have the ability to take on this sort of production. Thank you again, and I look forward to hearing from your technical team.
