            "content": "Hello,\n\nI am looking for a European partner to help me develop my own original women\u2019s swimwear design.\n\nAt this stage, my main goal is to develop one first prototype for myself, based on my own body measurements. I would like to test and perfect the fit before considering any production.\n\nThe design consists of a feminine supportive swim top combined with high-waisted swim shorts offering more coverage around the tummy, seat and upper thighs.\n\nI already have the design concept, visual references and technical information, but I do not yet have a professional production pattern.\n\nI am based in Belgium and would like to complete the development process remotely.\n\nBefore sending my design files, could you please let me know:\n\n\u2022 Can you develop the professional pattern from my design, technical information and body measurements?\n\n\u2022 Is it possible to produce just one first prototype and ship it to me in Belgium for fitting?\n\n\u2022 Which body measurements would you require, and can these be taken by myself at home according to your instructions?\n\n\u2022 Can the complete development and fitting process be handled remotely?\n\n\u2022 Can you advise on and source suitable swimwear fabric, lining, power mesh, cups, elastics and other components?\n\n\u2022 What would the approximate cost be for pattern development and one first prototype?\n\n\u2022 After receiving the prototype, can I provide photos, measurements and feedback so that the pattern can be corrected remotely?\n\n\u2022 What would an additional corrected sample cost if required?\n\n\u2022 Once the development is completed, will I receive or have the right to use the final corrected pattern and technical files?\n\nIf the prototype is successful, I may consider a small first production run to test the product, rather than immediately committing to a large order.\n\nCould you therefore please let me know what the smallest production quantity you could offer for one swimwear design and one colour would be?\n\nAs this is my own original design, I would also like to know how you handle confidentiality and whether an NDA or confidentiality agreement can be signed before I send the complete design files.\n\nIf this project is suitable for you, I would be happy to send my design reference and further technical information as the next step.\n\nThank you very much.\n\nKind regards,\n\nSofie\n\n\nVerstuurd vanaf mijn iPhone",

            "content": "Hello Sofie,\n\nThank you for reaching out to us with your swimwear project. I understand your interest in developing a prototype based on your original design. However, at this stage, we focus on evaluating the commercial viability of projects for production rather than individual prototype development.\n\nRegarding your questions:\n\n- We do not provide pattern development services or create prototypes based on individual body measurements. Our process requires a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample to proceed.\n- We only develop one sample per style for initial approval, and further samples are only made after the bulk order is placed.\n- Our minimum order quantity for swimwear is 200 units per style.\n\nRegarding confidentiality, your designs and intellectual property are always kept strictly confidential with us by default. However, this is not the point to address an NDA right now. We first need to evaluate the commercial viability of the project.\n\nTo proceed, please provide the following details:\n1. Do you have a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample for your swimwear design?\n2. What is your maximum target production price per style?\n3. What is your desired delivery timeline?\n\nOnce we have this information, we can better assess your project.\n\nThank you for considering us for your swimwear development.\n\nKind regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",
