            "content": "Hi Portugal Textile team,\n\nI run Rosa Mfg Co, an independent menswear brand based in London. Since lau=\nnching in March, we have completed three limited trouser releases, all of w=\nhich have sold out.\n\nWe are now preparing to release our first two woven shirts and are looking =\nfor a long-term Portuguese manufacturing partner with experience in premium=\n men=E2=80=99s shirting.\n\nThe two styles are:\n\nA short-sleeved shirt with a one-piece collar, single chest pocket and crop=\nped 1950s-inspired fit\n\n\nA related long-sleeved shirt, two chest pockets and cuff openings\n\n\n\nI have attached photographs of the latest development samples and prelimina=\nry technical flats. Our patterns are currently being digitised, and the com=\npleted technical packs, measurement specifications and pattern files will f=\nollow shortly.\n\nThe principal construction details include flat-felled seams, faced front o=\npenings, one-piece collars, topstitched armholes, a double-layer back yoke =\non the short-sleeved shirt and bias-bound cuff openings on the long-sleeved=\n shirt.\n\nWe operate primarily on a made-to-order basis. We open a limited sales wind=\now, take our customers=E2=80=99 orders and then place the exact production =\norder with our manufacturer. This allows us to avoid unnecessary leftover s=\ntock while the brand is still growing.\n\nBased on our previous releases and current customer base, we estimate an in=\nitial combined order of approximately 50 shirts. The final quantity may be =\nhigher, and the split between the two styles will depend on customer demand=\n. For planning purposes, we currently anticipate roughly 20 to 30 units per=\n style, although this may not be an equal split.\n\nThe size breakdown will also follow the customer orders, so quantities may =\nvary between sizes. We would confirm the final style, fabric and size break=\ndown immediately after the sales window closes, which we expect to be aroun=\nd 8 October.\n\nFor this initial production, we can supply the Japanese fabrics, buttons, l=\nabels, trims and digital patterns. We are therefore primarily interested in=\n CMT, although we would also like to understand your full-package productio=\nn and sourcing capabilities for future collections.\n\nCould you please let me know:\n\nWhether this made-to-order production model is compatible with your process\n\n\nWhether you require minimum quantities per style, fabric, colour or size\n\n\nWhether you have availability for an October production start\n\n\nWhether you can provide an indicative CMT range from the attached informati=\non\n\n\nWhether cutting, sewing and finishing would all take place in Portugal, and=\n which production facility would handle the order\n\n\n\nAs the final production quantity will only be confirmed once our sales wind=\now closes, would you be able to provisionally reserve capacity based on an =\nestimated order of 50 units? If so, please let us know whether you require =\na deposit, minimum commitment or confirmed material delivery date to reserv=\ne the slot.\n\nWe are looking for a manufacturing relationship that can grow with the bran=\nd, including potential support with fabric, trim, label and specialist fini=\nshing development for future products.\n\nYou can view the brand at http:\/\/www.rosamfg.co\/  and @rosamfgco on Instagr=\nam.\n\nThank you, and I look forward to hearing from you.\n\nBest,\n\n\nWilliam\n\nRosa Mfg Co\n\nmailto:will@rosamfg.co=20\n\nWA: +44 7733 233386\n\nhttp:\/\/www.rosamfg.co\/\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided attached files (IMG_1486_6aa155c17afe7.jpg, IMG_1485_6aa155c210b23.jpg, IMG_1484_6aa155c30946e.jpg, IMG_1483_6aa155c34672e.jpg, ebefb0de-fd27-450f-92ec-2a28401d9062_6aa155c35f902.jpg, 8c839b98-7805-4bb3-b78e-8f82c6748908_6aa155c363772.jpg).

            "content": "Hello William,\n\nThank you for reaching out and providing detailed information about your brand, Rosa Mfg Co. I appreciate the photographs and preliminary technical flats you've attached.\n\nTo address your inquiries:\n\n1. **Made-to-Order Model Compatibility**: Our process typically involves set minimum order quantities, which may not align with a made-to-order model. However, I will need to confirm the specifics with our team.\n\n2. **Minimum Quantities**: Our minimum order quantity for shirts is generally 200\u2013300 units per style. Unfortunately, an initial order of approximately 50 shirts would not meet our MOQ requirements.\n\n3. **October Production Start**: Given our current timelines and the need for a minimum of 5 full calendar months from the current date for production, an October start would not be feasible.\n\n4. **CMT Range**: We cannot provide an indicative CMT range at this stage. Accurate pricing depends on the final technical specifications, materials, and confirmed quantities.\n\n5. **Production Location**: All cutting, sewing, and finishing processes are conducted in Portugal. The specific facility would be determined once the project details are finalized.\n\nRegarding reserving capacity based on an estimated order of 50 units, we would require a commitment that meets our MOQ. If you are able to increase your order to meet our minimums, we can discuss further.\n\nPlease let me know if you have any flexibility in increasing your order quantity or if there are other ways we might be able to collaborate in the future.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",
