It sounds like a wonderful collection.\n\nRegarding your question about certifications, we hold the GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification, which guarantees our commitment to environmentally and socially responsible production.\n\nTo move forward and properly analyze your request, I just need a few more details. Our minimum order quantity for bedding in solid colors is 500 square meters per color. With this in mind, could you confirm the quantity you would be looking to produce for your initial order?\n\nAlso, could you please provide your brand's website and your target production price per style, indicated separately for the duvet covers, fitted sheets, and pillowcases?\n\nOnce I have these details, I can better assess your project.",

I'm\nglad the project resonated with you.\n\nTo answer your questions:\n\n*Regarding our website: *Vell Home is currently in pre-launch stealth mode,\nso we don't have a public website yet. I'm happy to share more about the\nbrand direction if the initial e-mail was not enough yet.\n\n*Regarding pricing:* As this is our first engagement, I would prefer to\nreceive your indicative pricing before sharing target prices \u2014 this will\nhelp me understand your positioning and ensure we're aligned before going\nfurther. I'm looking forward to seeing your quotes for duvet covers, fitted\nsheets, and pillowcases separately.\n\n*Regarding MOQ: *I understand your minimum is 500 sqm per color. Our seed\nbatch is intentionally small \u2014 100 sets across 3\u20135 colorways \u2014 as this is a\nquality-validation run before we scale. For Q4 2026, we are targeting 300+\nsets, which translates to approximately 3,000 sqm of fabric \u2014 well above\nyour MOQ threshold.\n\nWith that in mind, I'd like to explore two options with you:\n1. A reduced sampling MOQ for the initial run, given the confirmed Q4 scale\ncommitment\n2. Alternatively, we are open to reducing our initial colorways to 2\u20133 to\nbetter meet your 500 sqm requirement per color from the outset\n\nI'm keen to find a structure that works for both sides and build a\nlong-term partnership from here.\n\nLooking forward to your thoughts.\n\nWarm regards,\nRoxi\n\nOn Thu, Mar 26, 2026 at 1:40\u202fAM Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Roxi,\n>\n> Thank you for contacting us and for providing such a detailed overview of\n> your project for Vell Home.
