            "content": "Dear Matilde,\n\nThank you very much for your detailed response and for providing the\ninitial information regarding your MOQ, sampling and production process.\n\nI have now finalised the initial product specifications for AUREN and have\nattached our *Master Technical Pack V2.0* for your review.\n\nAs AUREN is a new luxury bedding brand, I am looking to begin with a\ncarefully controlled first collection and scale production as the brand\ngrows.\n*1. Initial products & quantities*\n\nI have now decided that the first collection will consist of *duvet covers\nand matching pillowcases only*.\n\nI will not be producing fitted sheets or flat sheets at this stage.\n\nThe duvet covers will be produced in the following UK\/Ireland sizes:\n\n   - Single =E2=80=94 *135 =C3=97 200 cm*\n   - Double =E2=80=94 *200 =C3=97 200 cm*\n   - King =E2=80=94 *225 =C3=97 220 cm*\n   - Super King =E2=80=94 *260 =C3=97 220 cm*\n\nStandard pillowcases will be *50 =C3=97 75 cm* with a deep envelope closure=\n.\n\nI have not yet finalised the exact quantity per size because I would first\nlike to understand how your *500 sqm MOQ for solid colours* would translate\ninto finished duvet covers and pillowcases.\n\nCould you please advise approximately how many pieces the 500 sqm MOQ would\nproduce across the different sizes, and whether the 500 sqm MOQ applies\nseparately to each colour?\n\nI would also appreciate knowing whether a smaller first\ndevelopment\/production order is possible for a new brand.\n*2. Fabric*\n\nMy preferred fabric specification is:\n\n   - *100% European flax linen*\n   - Approximately *170=E2=80=93200 GSM*\n   - No synthetic fibres\n   - Premium, soft hand-feel\n   - Pre-washed \/ garment-washed \/ stonewashed finish\n   - Breathable and temperature regulating\n   - Durable and suitable for luxury bedding\n\nI would appreciate receiving your available linen qualities and swatches,\nincluding the GSM, fabric construction, origin of the flax and weaving\nlocation.\n\nYou mentioned that you hold *GOTS certification*. Could you please confirm\nwhether the specific linen qualities you recommend for AUREN can be\nsupplied with GOTS certification and\/or OEKO-TEX certification?\n*3. Colours & designs*\n\nThe three initial AUREN designs\/colourways are:\n\n*01 =E2=80=94 Deep Brown*\nA rich, deep warm brown with a clean tonal finish.\n\n*02 =E2=80=94 Taupe*\nA warm neutral taupe with a soft beige\/grey undertone.\n\n*03 =E2=80=94 Classic White*\nA clean classic white =E2=80=94 *not ivory or cream*.\n\nThe *Classic White design will have a refined gold-coloured rim\/piping\ndetail around the duvet cover and matching pillowcases*, as shown in the\nattached design references.\n\nThe Deep Brown and Taupe designs will remain clean and minimal without the\ngold edging.\n\nThe attached technical pack contains the visual design references and\nconstruction details.\n\nPlease use the physical colour swatches\/lab dips as the final colour\napproval standard rather than relying on digital colours on screen.\n*4. Duvet cover construction*\n\nOne very important requirement is the closure:\n\n*We do not want zips.*\n\nThe duvet covers must use a *premium concealed\/internal button closure*.\n\nThe requirements are:\n\n   - High-quality natural-looking buttons\n   - Concealed\/internal button placket\n   - Secure reinforced button stitching\n   - Even button spacing\n   - Four internal corner ties =E2=80=94 one at each corner\n   - Strong, clean stitching\n   - Clean finished seams\n   - No exposed raw edges\n   - Minimal\/discreet AUREN branding\n\nPlease do not substitute a zip for the button closure.\n*5. Pillowcases*\n\nThe matching pillowcases should:\n\n   - Be *50 =C3=97 75 cm finished size*\n   - Use the same linen, colour and finish as the matching duvet cover\n   - Have a deep envelope closure\n   - Have clean finished seams\n   - Have discreet AUREN branding\n   - Include the *gold rim\/piping on the Classic White design*\n\n*6. Tech pack & sampling*\n\nI have attached the AUREN Master Technical Pack V2.0, which includes the\nrequired measurements, construction details, colour directions, button\ndetails, corner ties, stitching requirements, branding and sample quality\nchecks.\n\nI do not currently have a physical sample, as I am still at the\nproduct-development stage, but the attached technical pack provides the\nspecifications and visual references for the initial prototypes.\n\nBefore any bulk production, I would like physical samples\/prototypes\nproduced and approved.\n\nThe samples should allow us to check:\n\n   - Finished dimensions\n   - Fabric GSM and hand-feel\n   - Colour\n   - Shrinkage after washing\n   - Stitching and seams\n   - Button construction\n   - Corner ties\n   - Pillowcase construction\n   - Gold edging on the Classic White design\n   - Overall finish and quality\n\n*Please do not begin bulk production until AUREN has approved the final\npre-production sample in writing.*\n\nIf any specification in the tech pack needs to be technically adjusted for\nmanufacturing purposes, please let me know and explain the proposed change\nbefore making it, so that I can approve it.\n*7. Pricing & lead time*\n\nAt this stage, I do not have a confirmed target production price because I\nam still determining the final manufacturing specification and quantities.\n\nI would therefore appreciate your quotation based on the specifications in\nthe attached technical pack.\n\nCould you please provide:\n\n   - Sample\/development cost\n   - Estimated production price per duvet cover by size\n   - Estimated production price per pillowcase\n   - MOQ per colour\n   - Quantity produced from the 500 sqm MOQ\n   - Whether a smaller first order is possible\n   - Production lead time\n   - Sample lead time\n   - Whether the sample cost is credited against a bulk order\n   - Shipping cost and delivery time to Ireland\n   - Cost\/MOQ for custom AUREN woven labels and care labels\n   - Packaging options and costs, if available\n\nYou mentioned that your typical production lead time is *10=E2=80=9314 week=\ns after\norder placement*, which is helpful. My ideal target is to have the first\ncollection ready for launch around *spring 2027*, although I am flexible\ndepending on the sampling and production process.\n\nThank you again for your time. I am very excited about developing AUREN\nwith the right manufacturing partner and look forward to hearing your\nrecommendations and quotation.\n\nKind regards,\n*Molly*\nFounder, *AUREN*\n*Luxury worth staying in*\n\n\n\n\nOn Tue 6 Oct 2026 at 10:04, Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Molly,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out to us at Portugal Textile.
