Me and my business partner are developing a new type\nhigh-performance, close-to-skin technical base-layer designed for active\nwatersports.\n\nThe product addresses a specific and currently unsolved performance\nchallenge. The concept involves a precise combination of knit structure and\nmaterial behavior. Something I believe requires a development partner with\nexcellent technical fabric expertise, not just production capability.\n\nWe are looking for a full-service partner (FPP partner) who can help us\nwith fabric sourcing, finetuning of our tech pack, pattern grading and\nprototyping.\n\nWe are looking for:\n\n\n   - A development partner, not production-only\n   - Experience with seamless circular knit and technical fabrics\n   - The product requires advanced dual-surface\/plated knit fabric\n   - Willingness to collaborate on early-stage prototyping\n   - MOQ: start with a small, premium launch\n   - Scale up production capability. Fast and high production is required\n   in big quantities.\n\nWe would like to ask:\n\n\n   - Do you have experience with high-performance, close-to-skin technical\n   base-layer designed for active watersports?\n   - Do you support product development for new concepts from an early\n   stage?\n\nI am happy to share more details and a full concept brief, under a mutual\nNDA once we've established a business match.\n\nWould you be open to a first call or discussion?\n\nIn the near future we would highly appreciate the opportunity to visit your\nfacilities, look at your fabric catalog and discuss a potential partnership\nin person.\n\nWe look forward to hearing from you.\n\n\nKind regards,\n\nNicole",
