            "content": "Hello,\n\nI am based in New York and developing a new premium bedding product for the U.S. market and came across Portugal Textile through an online search. I noticed that you work with Djerf Avenue, which we own and really like - particularly the softness and overall quality, and I\u2019m looking to achieve a similarly elevated feel for our product.\n\nOur product requires non-standard mattress dimensions (smaller than a twin), and we\u2019re looking for a fabric that is exceptionally soft, lightweight, breathable and cool, while still having a fresh, crisp feel rather than being overly silky or slippery.\n\nI\u2019d be interested in exploring both a high-quality 100% cotton percale similar in feel and quality to the Djerf bedding, as well as a TENCEL\u2122 Lyocell\/cotton blend, if you think that could provide an even softer and more breathable result.\n\nThe initial product would include a custom-size fitted sheet, flat sheet and pillowcase, with the possibility of custom colors and prints as the collection develops.\n\nCould you tell me a little about your product-development and sampling process, available fabric constructions, minimum order quantities, and approximate pricing at 250, 500 and 1,000 sets per color or design?\n\nWe are currently in the development stage and are looking for the right long-term manufacturing partner as we build the brand.\n\nThank you, and I look forward to hearing from you.\n\nBest,\nAnnalise Carol\n\n917-691-7271",

It's great to hear about your new premium bedding product for the U.S. market.\n\nTo assist you further, I need to gather some specific details about your project:\n\n1. **Designs:** Do you have a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample for the bedding set you wish to develop?\n2. **Quantities:** What is the total quantity you intend to produce per style and per color?\n3. **Desired delivery date:** What is your desired delivery date for the initial production?\n4. **Target Price:** What is your maximum target production price per set?\n\nRegarding your questions about our product-development and sampling process, available fabric constructions, and minimum order quantities:\n\n- **Product Development & Sampling:** We offer a comprehensive development process, but the exact sample cost depends on the specific product and complexity of the design. We only develop one sample per style for initial approval.\n- **Available Fabric Constructions:** We can explore high-quality 100% cotton percale and TENCEL\u2122 Lyocell\/cotton blends as per your requirements.\n- **Minimum Order Quantities:** For bedding, the minimum order is 500 sqm for solid colors and 1,000 sqm for printed designs.\n\nPlease provide the above details so we can proceed with evaluating your project.

            "content": "Thank you Matilde for the quick reply! So, I am early in this process and do not yet have a tech pack or physical sample. Initially I would like to do a test run of maybe 500 units (sets) for each style and color - so maybe something like 1,500 total for the first run - with the idea of expanding later to something like 5,000 and 10,000 sets, etc. I would like to sell them for next summer season which begins selling in early spring 2027 (it\u2019s for a very specific market- the premium overnight summer camp market). I realize that it is not much time. I really am not familiar with the pricing - but I am looking to make a premium product. I would like the retail price point to be around $100-$120 USD per set - not sure if that is possible. \nMy skill set is really in marketing and PR and some design - so I will need to find the right partners to help me execute this project. \nI am probably not your traditional customer but let me know what I would need to do to work together and if this is even possible.\n\nBest regards,\nAnnalise  \n\nAnnalise Carol\nPartner\n917.691.7271\nwww.pivotalcomms.com\n\n\n\n\n\n> On Sep 3, 2026, at 4:06\u202fPM, Matilde Azevedo  wrote:\n> \n> Hello Annalise,\n> \n> Thank you for reaching out and for your interest in Portugal Textile.
