We're assessing both direct factories and managed partners, and\nwould value knowing whether you could support this:\n\n   1. *Merino:* can you source 70% ZQ- or RWS-certified merino wool, with\n   chain-of-custody to the finished sock?\n   2. *Recycled nylon:* GRS-certified recycled nylon (ECONYL or equivalent)\n   for the ~25% content?\n   3. *Construction:* 168-needle fine gauge with a hand-linked flat toe\n   seam?\n   4. *Volume & capacity:* launch order ~2,000 pairs (one style, two\n   colourways, three sizes) \u2014 workable, with availability in 2026 \/ early 2027?\n   5. *Price & model:* rough DAP price per pair to the UK at this volume,\n   and how your service and fee structure works?\n\nOur blend is approximately 70% merino \/ 25% recycled nylon \/ 5% elastane,\nfinished sock to OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100. If it looks a fit, I'll share our\nfull brief and specifications.\n\nThank you \u2014 I look forward to hearing from you.\n\nBest regards,\nJawad Chaudhry\nFounder & CEO, Zuhvion Global Ltd\ncontact@zuhvion.com \u00b7 +44 777 468 0353",

Your project sounds exciting, and we're glad to hear you're considering Portugal for your premium merino performance crew socks.\n\nTo provide you with accurate information and proceed with your request, I need to address a few points:\n\n1. **Technical Requirements:** Regarding your specific technical requirements and machinery, I cannot confirm this at my level. I have gathered your project details and will forward them to our technical team. They will analyze your requirements and confirm directly with you if our facilities have the exact capabilities to develop your product.\n\n2. **Volume & Capacity:** Our minimum order quantity for socks is 1,000 units per style and per color. Your launch order of 2,000 pairs across two colorways and three sizes seems to meet our requirements, but please confirm if this is per style and per color.\n\n3. **Timeline:** You mentioned availability in 2026\/early 2027, which is well within our production timeline capabilities.\n\n4. **Price & Model:** For pricing, we need your target production price per pair. Accurate pricing can only be provided after our technical team analyzes your Tech Pack or Physical Sample and confirms the final quantities.\n\nOnce I have your target price and confirmation on the quantity breakdown, I can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps.\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards.",

            "content": "Dear Matilde,\n\nThank you \u2014 it's good to hear Portugal could be the right home for this.\n\nTo take your points in turn:\n\n*Quantity.* To confirm the breakdown: one style (our Everyday Performance\nCrew Sock), in two colourways, at *1,000 pairs per colourway \u2014 2,000 pairs\ntotal* \u2014 each colourway split across three sizes. So we meet both minimums:\none style well above 1,000, and 1,000 per colour.\n\n*Technical.* Thank you for routing this to your technical team. To help\ntheir assessment, the points that matter most to us are:\n\n   - 70% merino \u2014 *ZQ- or RWS-certified, with chain-of-custody* to the\n   finished sock\n   - 25% *GRS-certified recycled nylon* (ECONYL or equivalent)\n   - 5% elastane (OEKO-TEX); finished sock OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100\n   - *168-needle* fine gauge\n   - *Hand-linked flat toe seam* (no raised seam)\n   - Crew height, light targeted cushion (ball-of-foot and heel only)\n\nThe certifications, the 168-needle gauge and the flat toe are the critical\ncapability points. I'm happy to share fuller technical detail whenever your\nteam needs it.\n\n*Price.* Understood that firm pricing follows the tech pack or sample. At\nthis stage, rather than work to a target figure, we'd value your team's *best\nindependent production price per pair* for the specification at 2,000 pairs\n\u2014 that lets us compare like-for-like across the makers we're speaking with.\nOnce your technical team confirms the spec is achievable, an indicative\nbest price would move you up our shortlist quickly.\n\nLooking forward to hearing from your technical team.\n\nBest regards,\nJawad Chaudhry\nFounder & CEO, Zuhvion Global Ltd\ncontact@zuhvion.com \u00b7 +44 777 468 0353\n\nOn Thu, Jun 25, 2026 at 3:56\u202fPM Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Jawad,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out to us at Portugal Textile.
