            "content": "Dear Portugal Textile Team,\n\nMy name is Alexander Schmidt and I run Alero Sun (alerosun.com), a small premium swimwear brand. We are looking for a manufacturing partner for blank swim shorts that we finish and brand ourselves. We are at the start of our collection, so a low MOQ is very important to us.\n\nWe are not looking for a fully custom development. If you already have blank or white-label swim shorts in your range, that is exactly what we need. Labeled blanks are also fine if you can supply them without your own brand (we would re-label them ourselves).\n\nWhat we are looking for\n- Men's swim shorts, knee length (approx. 16-18\"), regular fit\n- Kids' version of the same style (approx. 4-14 years), if you can do both\n- Plain styles only: no prints, no logos, no snaps or hardware on the legs\n- Fabric: premium hand feel is our top priority, ideally matte or peach-skin microfiber, 100% polyester (recycled is a plus), approx. 130-170 gsm, quick-drying\n- Elastic waistband with internal drawcord and metal or good-quality eyelets, side pockets, clean seams (flatlock or overlock), no cheap shiny taffeta\n- Colors: black, light blue, beige\/sand, turquoise, olive\n\nOur questions\n1. Do you have a blank \/ white-label swim short style in your standard range? Please send photos or a catalog.\n2. What is the MOQ per style and per color? Is a mixed-color order possible?\n3. What is your price per piece (FOB\/EXW) at 100, 300 and 500 pieces?\n4. What fabric composition and weight (gsm) do you use? Can you send fabric swatches so we can check the hand feel?\n5. Which sizes are available, for men and for kids?\n6. Can you sew in our own labels (woven neck or waist label, care label with composition and origin) if we send them to you? Is there an extra charge?\n7. What are the sample price and lead time, and can you ship samples to the EU? Is the sample cost credited against a first order?\n8. What are the production lead time and shipping options to the EU?\n9. Does the fabric meet OEKO-TEX \/ REACH requirements? Can you supply test reports?\n\nWe plan to start with a small first order and grow with a reliable partner. If the samples and the quality work well, repeat orders will follow.\n\nThank you very much, I look forward to your reply.\n\nBest regards,\nAlexander Schmidt\nAlero Sun\nalexander@alerosun.com\nalerosun.com\n\n\n\t\nAlexander Schmidt\nFounder & CEO\nALERO SUN\nalexander@alerosun.com  \nwww.alerosun.com\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided general web links (www.alerosun.com).

            "content": "Hello Alexander,\n\nThank you for reaching out to us at Portugal Textile. I appreciate your interest in partnering with us for your swimwear collection.\n\nRegarding your request for blank or white-label swim shorts, we specialize in custom manufacturing rather than supplying pre-made blanks. However, I can guide you through our custom production process if you are interested in developing your own styles.\n\nTo proceed, I would need some additional information to evaluate your project:\n\n1. **Quantities:** What is the total quantity you are looking to produce per style and per color? Please note that our minimum order quantity for swimwear is 200 units per style.\n2. **Target Price:** What is your maximum target production price per style?\n3. **Desired Delivery Date:** What is your desired delivery timeline for the first order?\n\nOnce I have these details, I can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps.\n\nPlease let me know if you have any flexibility regarding the MOQ, as our minimums are non-negotiable. If your requirements strictly fit the Private Label model, I can direct you to our Private Label Clothes division for smaller quantities.\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",
