Estimated production cost per piece:\n- Bikini top\n- Bikini bottom\n- One pieces\n\n2. Price variations depending on:\n- Order quantities and minimum order requirements\n- Size range (XS to XXL)\n- Fabric quality and composition\n\n3. Sampling process:\n- Cost of sample development\n- Sample lead time\n\n4. Production timeline after order confirmation.\n\n5. Services available:\n- Pattern making and technical development\n- Fabric sourcing (including stretch and swimwear fabrics)\n- Private label options (branding, labels, packaging)\n\n6.

Your concept for an inclusive swimwear brand sounds wonderful, and with over 20 years of experience, we truly appreciate the vision behind creating high-quality, well-fitting garments.\n\nTo give you the most accurate information regarding costs and timelines, I just need to get a better sense of your project. I was wondering, what country will you be operating from?\n\nAlso, could you let me know if you have a Tech Pack or a physical sample of the designs you wish to produce?\n\nJust so you are aware, our minimum quantity for swimwear is 200 units per style, where a bikini set counts as two separate styles (one for the top and one for the bottom). With that in mind, what sort of quantities are you considering for your initial collection?\n\nOne more thing I'd love to check with you is your target production price for each style, as well as your desired delivery date. This helps us understand the scope of the project from the beginning.\n\nOnce I have a clearer picture, I can provide a much more detailed analysis for you.",

I would be\nhappy to develop one with your guidance if needed. I also do not have\nphysical samples yet.\n\nFor my initial collection, I am planning a small but thoughtful launch. At\nthis stage, I am considering starting with approximately  200\u2013400 units\ntotal, depending on feasibility and structure per style. I understand your\nMOQ requirements and am open to adapting the collection accordingly.\n\nIn terms of pricing, I am aiming for a competitive production cost while\nmaintaining high quality, ideally around 15-25\u20ac per piece. Of course, I\nremain flexible depending on materials and construction.\n\nAs I am currently building my business plan, I would greatly appreciate if\nyou could provide an estimated unit production cost per piece, even if very\napproximate at this stage. This would help me refine my financial\nprojections.\n\nAdditionally, could you please provide an estimate of the shipping costs to\nR\u00e9union Island?\n\nAs for the timeline, I would ideally like to launch the collection around\ndecember 2026 ( summer here in reunion), which allows time for development,\nsampling, and production.\n\nThank you again for your time and consideration. I look forward to your\nfeedback and next steps.\n\nBest regards,\nL\u00e9na\n\nLe mar. 14 avr. 2026 \u00e0 21:45, Matilde Azevedo  a\n\u00e9crit :\n\n> Hello L\u00e9na,\n>\n> Thank you for contacting us.

It's wonderful that you will be operating from R\u00e9union Island.\n\nI understand you're in the early stages of the design process. While we don't offer Tech Pack creation services ourselves, our team is excellent at bringing a finalized vision to life. Since you don't have a physical sample to send at the moment, could you perhaps provide some links to websites showing products that are similar in style and complexity to what you have in mind? That would be very helpful for our initial analysis.\n\nJust to clarify the quantities, you mentioned a total of 200\u2013400 units. Is this the total for several different styles, or for a single one? I ask because our minimum for swimwear is 200 units per style, and it's useful to remember that a bikini set is considered two separate styles (a top and a bottom).\n\nRegarding costs, it is not possible to give an estimate without a final design, as the price is tied directly to the specific fabrics, complexity, and construction of each piece. Our shipping is also handled Ex-Works, meaning clients manage the shipping process directly, so we are unable to provide quotes for that.\n\nOnce I have a clearer idea of your designs and the number of styles, I can better assess the project for our technical team.",
