For my final thesis project, I am developing an inclusive lingerie and loungewear brand focused on elegant adaptive design.\n\nAt the moment, I am looking for a production partner that could help me develop a few initial samples\/prototypes, mainly different bra styles and pajamas. Since this is currently a thesis project, I would only need one sample of each style for now.\n\nHowever, my intention is to officially launch the brand after graduation in September, and I am therefore very interested in building a long-term collaboration with a manufacturer for future larger-scale production.\n\nI already have technical packs prepared for the designs, and I have also sourced the magnetic closures that will be used for some of the bras.\n\nI would love to know if this is something your company could assist with, and if so, what the next steps would be.\n\nThank you very much in advance. I look forward to hearing from you.\n\nBest regards,\nHilma \u00c5berg",

The brand has not officially launched yet, so there is no website available.\nLocation:\nI am originally from Sweden, currently based in Milan, Italy.\nProduct Category:\nI am looking to develop inclusive\/adaptive lingerie and loungewear, mainly bras and pajamas.\nTech Packs\/Samples:\nYes, I already have tech packs prepared for the styles. I have also sourced the magnetic closures that will be used for some of the bra designs. I can send the tech packs and additional details once you confirm.\nQuantities:\nAt this stage, I am primarily looking to create prototypes\/samples for my thesis project, so I would initially need approximately one sample per style. The collection will include a few different styles, approximately 5-10 pcs. \nHowever, after graduating in September, my intention is to officially launch the brand and move into larger production quantities. Therefore, I am very interested in establishing a long-term collaboration with the right manufacturing partner.\n\nTarget Price:\nSince this is my first development phase and the products are relatively specialized, I am flexible on pricing and would appreciate your guidance on the materials, construction, and quantities.\nPlease let me know the next steps and the best way to proceed with sharing the tech packs.\n\nLooking forward to hearing from you.\n\nBest regards,\nHilma \u00c5berg\n\n\n> On 12 May 2026, at 18:45, Matilde Azevedo  wrote:\n> \n> Hello Hilma,\n> \n> Thank you for contacting us. \n> \n> To provide you with an accurate quotation for your project, I need the following details:\n> \n> 1.

The designs are still in development and are intended to communicate the overall direction rather than final styles.\n\n\ufffc\n\nI plan to continue refining the designs and technical sketches as the project develops. As fabric selection is an important part of my design process, I would also be very interested in learning about your fabric sourcing capabilities and seeing any suitable qualities you may already work with or recommend. I am open to allowing the final fabric selection to inform certain design details and constructions.\n\nThe initial direction focuses on elevated loungewear in silk\/silk-blend satin and lightweight cotton qualities, with lace and feminine detailing. I am particularly interested in exploring high-quality, responsible, or certified material options where possible.\n\nAt this stage, I would love to learn more about your:\n\u2022 Minimum order quantities per style\/colour\n\u2022 Fabric sourcing capabilities and available qualities\n\u2022 Pattern making and grading services\n\u2022 Sampling and development process\n\u2022 Sample and development costs\n\u2022 Approximate production costs or target quantities required for costing\n\u2022 Sampling and bulk production lead times\n\u2022 Label, trim, and packaging capabilities\n\nMy goal is to move into development and sampling soon, with the intention of having the first production completed between March and June 2027.\nPlease let me know if this project could be a good fit for your company.

Based on this, I would most likely begin with one pajama set rather than a larger capsule for the first production, and then expand the collection in future drops.\n\nFor the initial style, I am currently envisioning an elegant women\u2019s pajama set combining cotton with lace detailing. The exact colour options and quantity split would depend on your MOQ requirements and what you would recommend for a first production.\n\nRegarding the target production price, I would really appreciate your expertise here rather than setting a fixed production cost at this stage. My intended retail price is approximately \u20ac100\u2013\u20ac200 for a pajama set, depending on the final design, fabric quality and construction. I would therefore like to understand what production cost and specifications you would consider realistic within this retail range, and what could be achieved in terms of fabric and finishing.\n\nFor timing, the March\u2013June 2027 window is flexible. My main objective is to launch the first collection for Spring\/Summer 2027, so I am happy to work around a development and production schedule that you consider realistic.\n\nYour fabric sourcing capabilities and GOTS certification sound very interesting. I would definitely like to discuss the available fabric options further, particularly suitable cotton qualities for premium loungewear.\n\nI would also like to know more about your lace sourcing capabilities. Do you currently work with lace suppliers or have lace qualities available through your sourcing network? I am particularly interested in high-quality lace that could be incorporated as detailing or trims within the garments.\n\nThank you again. I would be very interested to hear your recommendations regarding the most realistic way to approach the first style and production.\n\nKind regards,\nHilma \u00c5berg\n> \n> On 6 Oct 2026, at 11:47, Matilde Azevedo  wrote:\n> \n> Hello Hilma,\n> \n> Thank you for reaching out and sharing your project details with us.
