the obj: to show R&D and retain a good relationship with Rbk U.S and factories.
Start with the R&D Sample orders already developed from SMT.
1. GID : need cus to approve price before go ahead with sample orders.
The yarn cost is very expensive. Pls consult with PDM that we would like them to control /limit the sample qty. And for the next sample stage, we have to buy more yarn, we would like to ask their support that if there is no bulk orders for GID, we need to do the sample charge to them.
*Need cus support to approve MOQ, and need forecast orders 21days in advance to place order for yarn G.I.D
2. Velvet yarn: there are 7 colorways in which is one of limitation as we have to place order specially this Velvet just for this specific sample orders. The lab dip could only produce for 2 prs for each colorway for 1st look see. Then, when cus approve, then we can order for yarn sample orders another lot. We would like to get cus co-operation to try to limit the colorways ! As we have to buy these with MOQ per colorway to keep some stocks for the next sample stage.
*Need cus support to approve MOQ: 3000prs/colorway
*Need the co-operation for the 14days LT for 1st look see lab dip can produce 2prs.
And after color approval, need to take another 14days for the next sample orders stages.
Bulk orders LT 14-21days.
***Lek has just reviewed the new price this evening, as we might have a problem to keep all Velvet MOQ yarn stock. So we offer 2 steps price; one for =< 3 colorways price and another for =< 7 colorways price.
We only encourage to use velvet yarn on the base, in order to show it's fury touching on the surface. Not for letter (as the yarn is big size, it would make letter unclear)
3.Cotton-Bamboo :
Pls submit sample cloth from Bkk fac I did h/c last time to show to TT and let them make the use of it as per p'Yoon suggested process to make sockliner.
*It's urgent that we have to get the centre mark of the sockliner, in order to make sure the logo would be in the correct position !
However, we will provide more options with weaving the logo on it, awaiting for cuchi trial samples. While Bkk fac will do another option with 'Spun Yarn' another kind of natural yarn, sample ETD is within this wk. So on next Mon, you could submit more samples for Ambrose.
I would suggest cus to consider to use small piece of woven labels for Bamboo yarn as per our R&D catalogue as well.
This yarn is specially produced and has a limited stock, we need to know U.S demand and that we can plan out for the yarn material properly! Now we have enough yarn for all sample stage. However, we need forecast orders 21days in advance to place order.
Pls observe how the demand / new season trends of Upper, woven labels, printed labels..
