Once we review your design references, we can provide a more accurate quotation.\n\n3. **Sample Lead Times**: The lead time for samples is typically around 6-8 weeks.\n\n4. **Production Lead Times**: After sample approval, production lead times are generally between 10-14 weeks.\n\n5. **Ordering Tops and Bottoms Separately**: Yes, you can order bikini tops and bottoms separately to allow for mix-and-match sizing.\n\n6. **Custom Branding Options**: We offer various custom branding options, including woven labels and packaging. However, please note that labels and hangtags are sold separately.\n\n7. **Fabric Options and Certifications**: We hold the GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification, which guarantees our commitment to environmentally and socially responsible production. We can discuss available fabric options once we have more details about your designs.\n\n8. **Shipping Options**: We can arrange shipping to the UK, but please note that shipping is typically Ex-Works (EXW), meaning the client manages and pays for shipping and insurance.\n\n9. **Working with Startups**: We do work with startup brands, and we are happy to assist you in developing your initial collection.\n\nSince you mentioned that you do not yet have full technical packs prepared, we can assist you in creating technical specifications based on your design references. \n\nOnce you confirm your willingness to meet the minimum order quantities, we can proceed with the next steps. \n\nLooking forward to your response.",
