Whether you support product development and sample production\n\n2. Typical minimum order quantities\n\n3. Whether you can recommend suitable ribbed swim fabrics\n\n4. Typical sampling costs and lead times\n\n5. Whether you can advise on fabric performance testing or durability standards\n\nI would be grateful to learn more about your capabilities and whether my project may be a good fit for your business.\n\nKind regards,\n\nSarah\n\nUnited Kingdom",

            "content": "Hello Matilde,\nThank you for your response.\nAt this stage I do not yet have a Tech Pack or physical sample, as I am still in the research and development phase of the project.\nMy current objective is to identify suitable fabrics and understand the development process before moving into technical design and sampling.\nThe concept is a premium women\u2019s one-piece swimsuit with a ribbed fabric and an activewear-inspired feel. I am particularly interested in fabrics that provide support, shaping and comfort through the fabric structure itself, while maintaining excellent durability and resistance to chlorine, UV exposure and sun cream.\nAs this is a new brand, I am currently exploring development options and therefore do not yet have confirmed production quantities. My intention would be to begin with a small initial production run following successful sample development.\nI also do not yet have a target production cost, as I am first trying to understand the available fabric and manufacturing options before finalising the product specification and retail positioning.\nI would be very grateful if your technical team could advise whether they are aware of any ribbed swim fabrics that may be suitable for this concept, and whether fabric swatches are available for review.\nI look forward to hearing from you.\nKind regards,\nSarahOn 25 Jun 2026, at 20:13, Matilde Azevedo <info@portugaltextile.com> wrote:\ufeffHello Sarah,\n\nThank you for reaching out to us.
