It is \na pleasure to connect with the team at Portugal Textile.\nThe timeline of 8 weeks for sampling and 10-14 weeks for production aligns \nwell with our long-term launch strategy ahead of the winter season. The EXW \nshipping terms are also perfectly fine for us.\nRegarding your questions and requirements to move forward:\n\n1.\tQuantities & MOQ: As we are a highly specialized performance startup, a \n400-unit initial run of a single style is a bit high for our immediate \nmarket validation test. However, we note your minimum of 100 units per \ncolor. We would like to propose a compromise of 200 units total for our \nfirst production run (split into 100 units in Black and 100 units in Dark \nCharcoal). Please let us know if this is acceptable so we can proceed.\n2.\tTechnical Specs & Target Price: We are currently finalizing our flat \nsketches and size chart for size Medium, which we will send over to you next \nweek. Our target production cost is around \u20ac12 - \u20ac16 per unit for the bulk \nrun, given the premium Merino wool blend requirements.\n3.\tDevelopment Fee: We are fully ready to pay your development fee (50% \nupfront \/ 50% before shipping) to initiate the 8-week sampling process for \nthe first physical prototypes.\n\nPlease let us know if the proposed 200-unit total run works for you, and we \nwill follow up with our technical references and files to get the exact \ndevelopment quote.\nHave a lovely day!\nBest regards,\nIsac Kristensson\nFounder, DryPace\nSweden\n\nDen fre 21 aug. 2026 kl 13:45 skrev Matilde Azevedo \n:\n\n\n\n\nHi Isac,\n\n\n\n\nThank you very much for your contact. It\u2019s a pleasure to meet you and learn \nmore about your collection.\n\n\n\n\nAbsolutarget is a fashion supplier based in Vila do Conde, Portugal, \nspecialized in the development and production of high-quality and \nsustainable fashion collections.

The development fee will be communicated to the client \nonce we have all the information about the collection.\n\n\u2022 Adjustments* (confirmation sample, PPS, shipping samples, etc.): Double \nprice (for example, if the production price is 20\u20ac, it will be charged 40\u20ac).\n\n\u2022 Prints and embroideries: Please note that there is an additional initial \ncost for setting up local and digital prints, all-overs and embroideries.\n\n\u2022 Payment method for development: 50% in advance and 50% before shipping the \nprototypes.\n\n\u2022 Payment method for production: 50% in advance and 50% before shipping.\n\n* Adjustments will only be made after you place the final order, until the \nfinal result is achieved.\n\n\n\n\nShipping\n\nWhile we do not directly handle shipping, we collaborate with trusted \nlogistics partners (ex-works). We can provide competitive shipping quotes \nfrom our partners or share their contact details if preferred. Clients are \nalso welcome to arrange their own shipping or provide their courier account.\n\nPlease note that we operate strictly on an EXW (Ex Works) basis.

However, as an early-stage\nstartup conducting a strict, localized market test in Scandinavia, our\nabsolute limit for this initial launch is 100 to 150 units. Therefore, the\n400-unit requirement is not workable for us at this exact moment.\nWe will keep your technical specifications and contact details on file.\nOnce we complete our initial test launch and scale our order volumes to\nmeet your 400-unit threshold, we will gladly reach back out to you and move\nforward with Portugal Textile as our long-term partner.\nThank you again for your time and professional guidance.
