            "content": "Hi Portugal Textile team,\n\nI\u2019m currently developing a new premium performance swimwear brand, starting with one product: a men\u2019s training jammer.\n\nThe idea is to create a jammer that combines serious swimming performance with a much stronger focus on design and overall product experience. Think premium endurance apparel rather than traditional swimwear: a very clean second-skin fit, excellent chlorine resistance, a smooth and fast feel in the water, and high-quality finishing throughout.\n\nI came across your swimwear development capabilities in Portugal and your approach seems particularly relevant to what I\u2019m looking for.\n\nI\u2019m not looking to put a logo or print on an existing jammer. I would like to develop the product properly from the ground up, including:\n\n- A proprietary pattern and fit\n- Performance compression suitable for frequent training\n- Premium chlorine-resistant fabric\n- A very stable and comfortable waistband\n- A high-quality custom drawcord\n- Low-profile seam construction\n- Excellent shape retention\n- Custom artwork\/printing for future collections\n\nThe first priority is getting the product itself right. I expect this to involve several prototypes and actual swim testing before moving into production.\n\nCould you let me know whether this type of development is something you can support?\n\nI\u2019d also be interested to hear whether you have previous experience developing men\u2019s performance jammers or competitive swimwear, what fabrics you would recommend for this application, and what your typical sampling process and production MOQ would look like.\n\nI already have a more detailed product requirements document which I\u2019d be happy to share once we establish that the project is a good fit.\n\nLooking forward to hearing your thoughts.\n\nBest regards,\n\nNick",

Your vision for a premium performance swimwear brand sounds impressive, and we appreciate your interest in our capabilities here in Portugal.\n\nTo provide you with the most accurate information and ensure we can support your project effectively, I need to gather a few specific details:\n\n1. **Tech Pack or Physical Sample**: Do you have a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample that you can share with us? This will help our technical team understand your design requirements better.\n\n2. **Quantities**: What is the total quantity you are looking to produce, and how many styles do you intend to create? For swimwear, our minimum order quantity is 200 units per style.\n\n3. **Target Price**: Could you please specify your target production price per style? This will help us align with your budget expectations.\n\nRegarding your specific technical requirements and machinery, I cannot confirm this at my level. I have gathered your project details and will forward them to our technical team. They will analyze your requirements and confirm directly with you if our facilities have the exact capabilities to develop your product.\n\nOnce I have these details, I can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps. Looking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards.",

            "content": "Hi Matilde,\n\nThanks for getting back to me so quickly.\n\nI\u2019ve attached a short Product Development Brief which gives a clearer picture of the product I\u2019m looking to develop. It\u2019s not a final Tech Pack yet, as I\u2019d like to use the expertise of your technical team to determine the right fabric, construction and other technical specifications.\n\nRegarding quantities, I\u2019m currently thinking of an initial production run of around 200\u2013400 units in total. The idea is to develop one jammer model and eventually offer that same model in approximately four different designs\/colourways.\n\nYou mentioned an MOQ of 200 units per style. Would different designs\/prints on exactly the same jammer construction each count as a separate style?\n\nRegarding target price, I don\u2019t have a fixed production price in mind yet. Quality is the priority at this stage. The intended retail price would be around \u20ac79\u2013\u20ac89, so I\u2019d be interested to hear from your technical team what production cost we should realistically expect for the level of quality described in the brief.\n\nMost importantly, I\u2019d like to know whether your team has experience developing men\u2019s performance\/competitive swim jammers and whether you can develop the fit and construction specifically for this project.\n\nHopefully the attached brief gives your technical team enough information for an initial assessment.\n\nThanks again and I look forward to hearing from you.\n\nBest regards,\n\nNick\n\n\n\n\ufffc\n\n> Op 12 aug 2026, om 21:22 heeft Matilde Azevedo  het volgende geschreven:\n> \n> Hello Nick,\n> \n> Thank you for reaching out and sharing your exciting project with us.

I've received it, and it will certainly help our technical team in understanding your project better.\n\nRegarding your question about styles, different designs or prints on the same jammer construction would indeed count as separate styles.

However, to proceed, I still specifically need your exact target production price per style.

            "content": "Hi Matilde,\n\nThank you for clarifying.\n\nFor the initial assessment, please use \u20ac20 per unit as our target production price.\n\nQuality is the priority, though, so I don\u2019t see this as an absolute ceiling. If your technical team believes that a somewhat higher production cost is necessary to achieve the level of fabric, fit, waistband, drawcord and overall construction described in the brief, I would definitely be interested in their recommendation.\n\nThank you also for clarifying the MOQ. Given the 200-unit minimum per design, I would most likely start with one or two designs for the first production run and expand the collection once the product has been validated in the market.\n\nPlease feel free to forward everything to your technical team. I\u2019m very interested to hear whether they see a good technical fit for the project and how they would approach the development.\n\nBest regards,\n\nNick\n\n\n> Op 12 aug 2026, om 21:37 heeft Matilde Azevedo  het volgende geschreven:\n> \n> Hello Nick,\n> \n> Thank you for providing the Product Development Brief.
