They are very helpful for understanding your vision.\n\nIt\u2019s great that you are planning for four styles, and we certainly understand the need to test the market first. Our minimum of 200 units per style is in place to ensure we can maintain the high quality of production our partners expect.\n\nRegarding your questions, yes, we can absolutely create custom prints. For fabrics, our sourcing team suggests the best options based on the specific needs of each design, target price, and desired function. This is all part of the initial development stage. We can also produce beach accessories. For beach bags, the minimum is 100 units per style, and for towels, it would be based on fabric consumption, typically starting around 500 square meters.\n\nJust to manage expectations on timing, a new project like this, from confirmation to final delivery, typically requires about 5 to 6 months. This timeline allows for proper sourcing, prototyping, and the full production run. Since our factories close for a summer break in August, the earliest we could realistically schedule your delivery would be for the end of September 2026.\n\nPlease let me know if this delivery window works for you.",
