I appreciate your interest in understanding our capabilities and how we can support your project.\n\nTo provide you with accurate information, I need to gather some specific details about your project. Could you please provide the following:\n\n1. **Product Category:** Could you specify which product you would like to start with? For example, T-shirts, polos, shirts, chinos, jeans, or overshirts.\n2. **Quantities:** What is the total quantity you plan to produce per style and per color?\n3. **Tech Pack or Physical Sample:** Do you have a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample for the product you want to develop?\n4. **Target Price:** What is your maximum target production price per style?\n5. **Desired Delivery Date:** What is your desired delivery timeline?\n\nRegarding your questions about our processes and capabilities:\n\n- We do not offer a private-label catalogue of existing menswear styles. However, we can work with your designs if you have a Tech Pack or Physical Sample.\n- Custom patterns and grading can be developed based on your requirements.\n- The sampling process and costs depend on the specific product and design complexity.\n- Our MOQ for general clothing is 200\u2013300 units per style, with a minimum of 100 units per color.\n- Lead times for first production are typically 10\u201314 weeks after order placement, with sampling taking 6\u20138 weeks.\n- We retain patterns and grading for future orders, and restocks can be produced in the sizes that are selling.\n- We work with stock fabrics, and fabric reservation for future production can be discussed.\n- Labels, trims, and packaging can be handled by our team.\n\nPlease note that we do not provide approximate production price ranges at this stage, as accurate pricing depends on the technical specifications, materials, construction, and final quantities.\n\nRegarding your visit to Portugal, we must first receive and evaluate your project details before arranging any visits.\n\nOnce I have the above details, I can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps.\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards.",

            "content": "Hi Matilde,\n\nJust following up on my email below.\n\nSince we are now building the financial plan for the first collection, it\nwould also be very helpful if you could give us an indicative production\nprice range, even if only approximate at this stage.\n\nFor example, for a premium basic men\u2019s T-shirt using one of your suitable\nstock cotton fabrics, with our custom proportional fit, small logo and\napproximately 500 units across 5 colors.\n\nI understand that the final price will depend on fabric, construction and\nfinal specifications, but even a realistic range would help us greatly with\nbudgeting.\n\nI would also appreciate your feedback on the questions in my previous email\nwhen possible.\n\nThank you,\n\n\u202b\u05d1\u05ea\u05d0\u05e8\u05d9\u05da \u05d9\u05d5\u05dd \u05d1\u05f3, 21 \u05d1\u05e1\u05e4\u05d8\u05f3 2026 \u05d1-15:09 \u05de\u05d0\u05ea \u202aRazi Nabwani\u202c\u200f :\u202c\n\n> Dear Matilde,\n>\n> Thank you for your detailed response. It was very helpful.\n>\n> At this stage, we are still defining the exact structure of the first\n> collection, so I would prefer not to provide artificial quantities or\n> target prices before we better understand the production structure and\n> development process.\n>\n> Our core launch categories will most likely be:\n>\n>    - Premium basic T-shirts\n>    - Polos\n>    - Jeans\n>    - Chinos\n>\n> For T-shirts and polos, we expect to offer several core colors, likely\n> including black, white, navy, grey and beige.\n>\n> I also want to clarify one important point about the concept:\n>\n> Our key requirement is not simply smaller sizing, but garments that are\n> proportionally developed for shorter men. This includes body length, sleeve\n> length, rise, inseam, knee position, taper and overall balance.\n>\n> We do not yet have completed Tech Packs. Ideally, we are looking for a\n> manufacturing partner that can help us develop the patterns, grading and\n> proportions from reference garments, measurements and our fit requirements.\n>\n> Our current goal would be to develop and sample during the coming months,\n> with a potential launch around Spring\/Summer 2027.\n>\n> Before confirming quantities, I would appreciate clarification on a few\n> points:\n>\n>    1. If one style is produced in five colors, would your minimum of 100\n>    units per color mean a total minimum of 500 units for that style?\n>    2. What is the minimum quantity for repeat orders\/restocks of an\n>    existing style?\n>    3. Can several styles be developed and sampled in parallel?\n>    4. Can your team help develop the Tech Pack and pattern from a\n>    physical reference garment and our required measurements, or would we need\n>    to provide a completed Tech Pack?\n>    5. What are the typical costs for pattern development, grading,\n>    samples and revisions?\n>    6. For jeans, do you have stock denim fabrics and existing wash\n>    options that could reduce development time and minimum quantities?\n>    7. Are the patterns and grading developed for our brand exclusive to\n>    us?\n>\n> Once we understand these points, we will be in a much better position to\n> provide realistic quantities and proceed with the next stage.\n>\n> Thank you again, and I look forward to your response.\n>\n>\n> On Mon, 21 Sep 2026 at 14:51 Matilde Azevedo \n> wrote:\n>\n>> Hello Razi,\n>>\n>> Thank you for reaching out and considering us for your new menswear brand\n>> in Israel.
