The goal is to design pieces that feel soft and wearable on a\ndaily basis, while still offering a flattering and refined aesthetic.\n\nI came across your services and I am very interested in your end-to-end\nsupport, particularly in product development, fabric sourcing, and\nproduction.\n\nAt this stage, I have developed an initial concept and a technical\ndescription for a wireless bralette, which I would be happy to share with\nyou.\n\nI would love to understand:\n\n\u2022 Whether you support early-stage brands in developing their first products\n\u2022 The typical process from development to production\n\u2022 Estimated MOQ for a first collection\n\u2022 Sample development costs and timelines\n\u2022 Fabric sourcing options, especially for cotton blends\n(cotton\u2013modal\u2013elastane)\n\nMy intention is to build a long-term collaboration and create a small,\nwell-developed first collection with a strong focus on fit, comfort, and\nquality.\n\nPlease let me know if you would be available to discuss this further.\n\nThank you very much for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.\n\nKind regards,\nMarina Kotzakioulafi",
