The collection includes several original garment concepts that\nrequire a more specialized approach to construction, so I believe your\ncapabilities could be a strong fit.\n\nIf you are open to exploring a potential partnership, I would be happy to\nshare more information about the brand, designs, and technical\ndirection. *Before\nsharing the designs and proprietary construction concepts, however, I would\nlike to have a mutual confidentiality agreement signed between ARTISANA and\nSC Fashion.* I can provide the agreement for your review.\n\nPlease let me know if this is something you would be open to, and I would\nbe happy to discuss the project further.\n\nBest,\n*Daniella Arcila*\nFounder & Creative Director\n*ARTISANA*",

            "content": "Hi Matilde,\n\nThank you for your quick response. I appreciate the information regarding\nconfidentiality. Please see the project details below:\n\n*1. Product Category*\nThe first ARTISANA collection is focused on elevated womenswear,\nprimarily *tops,\ndresses, and skirts*. The designs use fluid, lightweight fabrics and\ninclude some more specialized construction details. The quality of the\n*construction,\nfit, drape, and finishing* is particularly important to me.\n\n*2. Tech Pack or Physical Sample*\nI currently have *tech packs and technical sketches*, which I=E2=80=99ve at=\ntached\nalong with design references for your initial review. I am still in the\ndevelopment stage, so I would be looking for support with *sample\ndevelopment, fit refinement, fabric sourcing, and eventual production*.\n\nSome of the silhouettes shown may be similar to silhouettes that already\nexist in the market; however, the main differentiation of the concept is in\nthe *functionality and interchangeable construction of the garments*.\n\nThe reference images are primarily intended to communicate the *fabric\nquality, drape, fit, and overall level of finishing* I would like to\nachieve. The attached designs establish the initial concept and creative\ndirection, and I am open to refining the silhouettes, proportions,\nconstruction, and details throughout the development and sampling process\nto create a final product that feels distinctive to ARTISANA.\n\n*3. Quantities*\nFor the initial collection, I am planning approximately *30=E2=80=9350 unit=\ns per\nstyle*. As this is ARTISANA=E2=80=99s first collection, I would like to beg=\nin with\nrelatively small quantities and increase production through reorders based\non demand.\n\n*4. Desired Delivery Date*\nI am targeting a *September 2027 launch*, with the goal of completing\ndevelopment and sampling well in advance and receiving final production\napproximately *June=E2=80=93July 2027*.\n\n*5. Target Price*\nARTISANA is positioned within the *accessible premium segment, with an\nexpected retail price range of approximately $200=E2=80=93$400 USD per garm=\nent*.\n\nRather than compromising on fabric or construction to meet a predetermined\nproduction cost, I am currently evaluating what production pricing is\nrealistic for the quality level I am looking for. I am particularly\ninterested in *silk, viscose, georgette, and other high-quality fluid\nfabrics*.\n\nOnce you have reviewed the designs and fabrication requirements, I would\nappreciate your guidance on the expected production price range for this\nlevel of product.\n\nPlease let me know if the project, quantities, and positioning could be a\ngood fit for Portugal Textiles. I would be happy to discuss the next steps.\n\nBest,\nDaniella Arcila\nFounder & Creative Director\n* ARTISANA*\n\nOn Thu, Sep 10, 2026 at 12:25=E2=80=AFPM Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Daniella,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out and introducing ARTISANA.

However, I would be willing to increase the\ninitial quantity to *up to 100 units per style* if that would allow us to\nwork together.\n\nI also understand that producing below your standard MOQ may result in\na *higher\nproduction price per unit*, and I would be open to that. At this stage,\nachieving the right quality, fit, construction, and fabric is more\nimportant to me than reaching the lowest possible production cost.\n\nRegarding target pricing, based on the positioning of the brand and the\ninitial designs, I am currently estimating a target production cost of\napproximately *$50\u2013$100 USD per garment*, depending on the style, fabric,\nand construction requirements. This is not intended to be a strict maximum,\nand I would be open to discussing a higher cost for certain styles if\nnecessary to achieve the desired quality or accommodate the lower initial\nquantity.\n\nThe intended retail range is approximately *$200\u2013$400 USD*, so I would also\nappreciate your guidance on whether this production range is realistic\nbased on the tech packs and the quality level I am looking for.\n\nWould your team be open to considering *100 units per style at a higher\nunit price* rather than your standard 200\u2013300 unit MOQ?\n\nThank you, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts.\n\nBest,\nDaniella Arcila\nFounder & Creative Director\nARTISANA\n\nOn Thu, Sep 10, 2026 at 1:17\u202fPM Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Daniella,\n>\n> Thank you for providing the detailed information about ARTISANA's first\n> collection.
