            "content": "Dear Matilda,\n\n\nThank you for your detailed response and for explaining your requirements.\n\n\nI am currently in the early product development stage of my brand, so I do not yet have a completed Tech Pack or physical sample. The concept and design direction are established, but I am looking for a manufacturing partner who can also support me with technical development, pattern development and prototyping.\n\n\nBefore proceeding with a full Tech Pack, I would therefore like to understand a little more about your development process.\n\n\nRegarding quantities, as this will be the first launch of a new brand, I would initially prefer to start with one matching set consisting of:\n\n\n  *   1 wireless bra style\n  *   1 matching brief style\n\n\n\nInitially, I am considering a small number of core colours.\n\n\nI understand that your MOQ is 1,000 units per style per colour. Could you please confirm whether the MOQ applies separately to the bra and brief?\n\n\nFor example, if I produce one bra and one brief in three colours, would the minimum order therefore be:\n\n\n3,000 bras + 3,000 briefs = 6,000 units in total?\n\n\nI would also appreciate some additional information regarding your development process:\n\n\n  1.  Can your team develop the Tech Pack and patterns based on sketches, reference images and a detailed design brief?\n  2.  Do you offer a paid prototype\/sample development service before committing to bulk production?\n  3.  What is the approximate price range for developing the first prototype of a wireless bra and matching brief?\n  4.  How many sample and fitting rounds are typically required?\n  5.  Can you develop the bra for different body types and larger bust sizes?\n  6.  Do you perform fit testing, or would I need to arrange fit testing independently?\n  7.  Are the final patterns and Tech Packs provided to me once development has been paid for?\n  8.  Can you provide different TENCEL\u2122 Lyocell\/elastane fabric options for sampling?\n  9.  Are your TENCEL\u2122 materials sourced from authorised suppliers, and can relevant certifications\/documentation be provided?\n  10. Could you provide an approximate production price range for a premium wireless bra and matching brief at your MOQ? This will help me determine whether our target pricing is aligned before investing in development.\n\n\n\nRegarding the delivery date, I am currently prioritising product quality and fit over launching by a fixed date. Once the prototype and development timeline are clear, I would like to establish a realistic launch date together.\n\n\nI am very interested in creating a long-term partnership with the right manufacturer, so at this stage I would first like to make sure that our development process, quality expectations and production requirements are aligned.\n\n\nThank you again, and I look forward to hearing from you.\n\n\nKind regards,\n\n\nYoussra\n\nVerstuurd vanaf mijn iPhone\n\nOp 26 aug 2026 om 11:19 heeft Matilde Azevedo  het volgende geschreven:\n\nHello Youssra,\n\nThank you for reaching out and sharing details about your new premium lingerie and underwear brand. I'm excited to learn more about your project and how we can assist you.\n\nTo proceed with evaluating your project, I need to gather some specific information:\n\n1. Tech Pack or Physical Sample: Do you have a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample for the wireless bra and slip you wish to develop?\n2. Quantities: What is the total quantity you intend to produce per style and per colour?\n3. Desired Delivery Date: What is your desired delivery date for the collection?\n4. Target Price: What is your maximum target production price per style?\n\nRegarding your questions:\n\n- We have experience in producing a wide range of lingerie and underwear, including wireless bras.\n- We can discuss the possibilities for custom pattern development and sourcing materials like TENCEL\u2122 Lyocell once we have more details.\n- Our minimum order quantity (MOQ) for underwear is 1,000 units per style and per colour.\n- The cost for pattern development and prototypes depends on the specific design and complexity, which we can determine after reviewing your Tech Pack or sample.\n- We do not offer smaller production runs below our MOQ.\n- Production timelines and other details will be provided once we have the complete project information.\n\nPlease provide the above details so we can further assess your project and guide you on the next steps. Rest assured, your designs and intellectual property are kept strictly confidential with us.\n\nLooking forward to your response.",

This gives me a much clearer understanding of your development and production process.\n\n\nAt this stage, I am still developing the technical side of the collection and therefore do not yet have a completed Tech Pack or physical sample.\n\n\nI will first work with a specialised lingerie product developer\/pattern maker to develop and fit-test the wireless bra and matching brief and prepare the required technical documentation.\n\n\nI also understand your MOQ requirements. For my initial launch, 6,000 units would currently be a significant first production commitment, so I will need to evaluate this carefully.\n\n\nHowever, I would be happy to keep your company in consideration for future production once the product development is complete and the required volumes are appropriate.\n\n\nThank you again for your time and transparency.\n\n\nKind regards,\n\n\nYoussra\n\nVerstuurd vanaf mijn iPhone\n\nOp 26 aug 2026 om 11:32 heeft Matilde Azevedo  het volgende geschreven:\n\nHello Youssra,\n\nThank you for your detailed message and interest in partnering with us for your new brand.
