            "content": "Hello Portugal Textile Team,\n\nI am contacting you because I am developing an original lingerie concept\nand I am looking for a professional partner who could help me assess its\ntechnical feasibility and develop an initial prototype.\n\nMy concept starts from the traditional string, while rethinking the back of\nthe garment.\n\nI want to preserve the delicate, minimal and sensual character of a string,\nincluding the thin side straps, but introduce a new way of dressing and\nenhancing the buttocks through the *choice of fabric and the construction\nof the back panel*.\n\nThe idea is not necessarily to use an opaque fabric. Lace, mesh or other\ndelicate lingerie fabrics could also be considered.\n\nWhat is important to me is that the fabric and its construction *follow the\nnatural curves of the body and enhance the appearance of the buttocks in an\nelegant and flattering way*, rather than simply covering them.\n\nMy design philosophy is that lingerie should not hide the body: it\nshould *embellish\nit*.\n\nI am therefore looking for a result that feels:\n\n   -\n\n   sensual and feminine;\n   -\n\n   sexy but sophisticated;\n   -\n\n   elegant and chic;\n   -\n\n   flattering to the natural shape of the buttocks;\n   -\n\n   delicate and lightweight;\n   -\n\n   comfortable against the skin;\n   -\n\n   as discreet as possible under fitted clothing;\n   -\n\n   free from unnecessary bulk or visible edges.\n\nThe fabric could potentially be lace, fine mesh, stretch fabric or another\nmaterial that your team considers technically appropriate. I am open to\nexploring different materials and constructions during the prototyping\nprocess.\n\nThe important point is that the *shape, tension, elasticity and placement\nof the fabric should work together to create a beautiful visual effect on\nthe body*.\n\nI am particularly interested in finding a construction that can enhance the\nsilhouette without making the garment look like a conventional brief. I\nwant to retain the distinctive spirit and sensuality of a string while\ncreating a new aesthetic for the back.\n\nAt this stage, I am not looking for mass production. My first objective is\nto determine whether the concept is technically feasible and to develop an\ninitial prototype. I would ideally like to test different fabrics and\nconstructions before deciding on the final version.\n\nBefore sharing detailed drawings and technical information, I would also\nlike to understand your process for handling confidential and original\nproduct concepts.\n\nCould you please let me know:\n\n   1.\n\n   Do you develop completely custom lingerie prototypes from an original\n   concept?\n   2.\n\n   Can your team assist with pattern development and fabric selection?\n   3.\n\n   Do you have experience developing innovative constructions for lingerie?\n   4.\n\n   Could you help determine which fabrics and construction techniques would\n   best achieve this flattering, second-skin effect?\n   5.\n\n   What would be the approximate cost and lead time for an initial\n   prototype?\n   6.\n\n   What confidentiality procedures do you have in place for original\n   product concepts?\n\nI have sketches and additional information about the concept that I can\nshare once I understand your development and confidentiality process.\n\nI would be very interested in discussing the idea with someone from your\nproduct development team.\n\nThank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.\n\nBest regards,\n\nLilou GUERY\n\n0749239442\n\nlilou.guery5@gmail.com",

To provide you with the best assistance, I need to gather some specific information about your project:\n\n1. **Brand**: Do you have an established brand, or is this a new venture?\n2. **Location**: What is your country?\n3. **Tech Packs\/Samples**: Do you have a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample to send us? If you require an NDA before sharing your sketches and technical information, please let me know, and our team will be happy to accommodate that.\n4. **Quantities**: Although you mentioned you're not looking for mass production at this stage, could you provide an estimate of the initial quantity you might consider for prototyping?\n5. **Target Price**: What is your target production price per style?\n\nRegarding your questions about our capabilities and confidentiality procedures, I will forward your project details to our technical team once I have the above information. They will be able to confirm if we can meet your specific requirements and discuss confidentiality measures.\n\nPlease note that the cost of a prototype depends on the complexity of the design, and accurate pricing can only be provided after our technical team reviews your Tech Pack or Physical Sample.\n\nI look forward to your response so we can proceed with your project.\n\nBest regards.",

            "content": "Hello Matilde,\n\nThank you very much for your quick response and for forwarding my project\nto your technical team.\n\nPlease find below the information you requested:\n\n   1. *Brand:* This is a new venture. I am currently developing the concept\n   and the brand is not yet established.\n   2. *Location:* I am based in France.\n   3. *Tech Pack \/ Physical Sample:* At this stage, I do not have a\n   physical sample or a finalized Tech Pack. I have the concept, initial\n   sketches and a detailed description of the desired construction.\n\nAs the concept is original and still at an early development stage, I would\nprefer to have an NDA in place before sharing the detailed sketches and\ntechnical information. Please let me know if you can provide your standard\nNDA for review and signature.\n\n   4. *Prototype quantity:* For the initial development, I would like to\n   start with approximately 1 to 3 prototypes, potentially with different\n   fabric or construction options so that we can compare the results.\n\nIf the concept is technically successful and the final prototype meets my\nexpectations, I would then consider an initial production run. I would\nprefer to determine the production quantity after the prototype and costing\nstages.\n\n   5. *Target price:* As this is a new and original construction, I do not\n   yet have a fixed target production price. I would first like to understand\n   which fabrics, construction techniques and manufacturing process would be\n   required. I would then be happy to discuss a target price based on the\n   technical possibilities and minimum quantities.\n\nThe most important aspect of the project at this stage is to determine\nwhether the concept is technically feasible.\n\nThe design philosophy is to create a sensual and elegant string that keeps\nthe minimal characteristics of a traditional string, while introducing a\nnew back construction designed to enhance the natural shape of the buttocks.\n\nI am open to exploring different materials, including lace, stretch mesh,\nfine microfiber or other fabrics that your technical team considers\nsuitable. The objective is to create a flattering, sophisticated and\nsecond-skin effect without unnecessary bulk or visible edges under fitted\nclothing.\n\nI would be very happy to receive your standard NDA and, once signed,\nprovide the detailed sketches and additional information for your technical\nteam.\n\nThank you again for your interest in my project. I am looking forward to\nseeing whether we can develop this concept together.\n\nBest regards,\n\nLilou\nFrance\n\n\nLe sam. 8 ao\u00fbt 2026 \u00e0 17:18, Matilde Azevedo  a\n\u00e9crit :\n\n> Hello Lilou,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out and sharing your exciting lingerie concept with\n> us.
