We're based in Stockholm,\nSweden, and are now looking for the right product development and\nmanufacturing partner to help us develop our first product.\n\nOur first product is The Signature Leg \u2014 a premium flared legging\nwhere we're putting a lot of focus on fit, comfort and a really\nflattering female silhouette. It has a custom V-shaped waist, a clean\nfront without a centre seam, an M-shaped back yoke and a medium flare\nstarting around the calf.\n\nI came across Portugal Textile while researching manufacturers in\nPortugal and was really interested in your experience with activewear,\nproduct development and fabric sourcing. Since we're still in the\ndevelopment stage, we're looking for a partner who can work closely\nwith us through pattern development, sampling and fit iterations \u2014\nrather than simply producing from an existing pattern.\n\nThe material is also an important part of what we're trying to create.\nWe'd love to explore natural and natural-derived stretch fabrics such\nas TENCEL\u2122 Lyocell, modal\/micro-modal and organic cotton, while still\nusing the elastane needed to get great stretch, recovery and fit.\n\nI've attached a short development pack so you can get a better feel\nfor the product and what we're trying to achieve.\n\nI'd love to hear your thoughts on the project and whether this is\nsomething you could help us develop. It would also be great to know:\n\n1. What fabrics you think could work best for this type of legging;\n2. How you normally approach pattern development and first prototypes;\n3. Your sample\/development costs and approximate timeline;\n4. Your MOQ per style\/colour;\n5. Whether pattern making and grading are done in-house;\n6. Whether it would be possible to receive some relevant fabric\nswatches before we start sampling.\n\nLooking forward to hearing what you think!\n\nBest,\nMiriam\nStockholm, Sweden\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided attached files (Signature_Leg_Supplier_Development_Pack_v1_1_6a8edb1eb5558.pdf).

            "content": "Hello Miriam,\n\nThank you for reaching out and providing the development pack for The Signature Leg. Your project sounds exciting, and we appreciate your interest in partnering with us for your women's Movement Wear brand.\n\nTo proceed with evaluating your project, I need to gather some additional details:\n\n1. **Quantities:** What is the total quantity you plan to produce, and how many styles and colours are you considering?\n2. **Desired Delivery Date:** What is your desired delivery date for the first production run?\n3. **Target Price:** What is your maximum target production price per style?\n\nRegarding your questions:\n\n- **Fabrics:** We can explore various natural and natural-derived stretch fabrics, including TENCEL\u2122 Lyocell, modal\/micro-modal, and organic cotton, combined with elastane for stretch and fit.\n- **Pattern Development:** We work closely with our clients through pattern development, sampling, and fit iterations to ensure the final product meets your expectations.\n- **Sample\/Development Costs:** The cost of samples depends on the specific product and complexity of the design. We can provide a more accurate estimate after evaluating the Tech Pack.\n- **MOQ:** For activewear like leggings, our minimum order quantity is 200 units per style.\n- **Pattern Making and Grading:** We handle pattern making and grading in collaboration with our specialized partners.\n- **Fabric Swatches:** We do not provide fabric swatches before the sampling stage, but we can discuss fabric options during the development process.\n\nOnce I have the additional details, I can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps.\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards,  \nMatilde Azevedo",

Because of that, we\u2019re not looking to \nadd a second style to the development process just yet.\n\nWe completely understand that this may not fit your production setup at the \nmoment, but we\u2019d love to stay in touch and potentially revisit the \nopportunity once we\u2019re ready to develop additional styles.\n\nThank you again for taking the time to review the project!\n\nBest,\nMiriam",
