            "content": "Hello,\n\nMy name is Talia, co-founder of Newenche Apparel, a sustainable activewear\nbrand for couples launching in spring 2027.\n\nWe are currently evaluating manufacturers to find a long-term production\npartner whose quality reflects our brand. Our collection and tech pack are\ncomplete, and our first step is a sampling round of 18 items in size M.\n\nQUANTITIES\n- Sampling: 18 items, one per style in size M\n- First production run: approximately 250 pieces, finalized after sampling\nbased on the styles and colors that perform best\n- Reorders and new collections to follow as the brand grows\n\nFABRICS\nBamboo is central to our brand. We are looking for bamboo-led fabrics (or\nLENZING\u2122 TENCEL\u2122 lyocell) that are soft to the touch, squat-proof, hold\ntheir shape and stand up to regular workouts. The specs below are our\ntargets. We are open to discussing the closest options you can offer, as\nlong as they meet these goals.\n\n1. Leggings, flares and shorts: bamboo blend, about 240\u2013260 GSM, 4-way\nstretch (50\u201370%), squat-proof with good recovery. A bamboo\/nylon\/spandex\nblend is welcome if it is stronger and more opaque.\n2. Sports bras (sewn-in cups): bamboo blend with a little more spandex for\nsupport, about 220\u2013260 GSM. One style is reversible, so it needs a fabric\nthat looks good on both sides.\n3. Covers and jackets: lighter, softer bamboo\/spandex, about 200\u2013230 GSM.\nOne jacket is reversible (two colors), so it needs a dual-face fabric or\ntwo bonded layers.\n4. Men's tee, hoodie, shorts and joggers: bamboo\/spandex for the tops; a\nsturdier bamboo blend for the bottoms.\n\nCOULD YOU PLEASE SHARE:\n1. Which bamboo or TENCEL fabrics you can offer for each group, and how\nthey compare in composition, weight and stretch. Do you offer LENZING\u2122\nTENCEL\u2122 lyocell with certification?\n2. Whether you can send fabric swatches, with composition, GSM, stretch %\nand recovery\n3. Your sample cost and lead time, and whether sample fees are credited to\nthe bulk order\n4. Whether you can accommodate a first production run of approximately 250\npieces, and your MOQ for new brands\n5. Your production lead time after sample approval, and whether you offer\nfull package production (fabric sourcing + manufacturing)\n6. Your certifications (OEKO-TEX, GOTS, WRAP, BSCI or similar)\n\nWe are aiming to approve samples by early December 2026, with delivery to\nthe USA by March 2027.\n\nWe are happy to share our tech pack once you confirm your fabric options,\nand to schedule a call if helpful.\n\nBest regards,\nTalia\nCo-Founder, Newenche Apparel\nTalia@josenalani.com | 1(808)634-6420",
