Although several styles were created, after\nreviewing and testing the prototypes I realised they don't yet reflect the\nlevel of quality, fit and design I envision for the brand.\n\nRather than continuing in that direction, I've decided to take a step back\nand focus on quality over quantity. My goal is to refine the collection and\nconcentrate on four key styles\u2014two one-pieces and two bikinis\u2014developing\nthem with a high level of craftsmanship, attention to detail and an\nexcellent fit.\n\nLa Bise is built around the idea of modular swimwear that goes beyond the\nbeach. The collection is designed to create pieces that originate from\nswimwear but can naturally become part of an everyday wardrobe through\ndifferent styling possibilities and ways of wearing them.\n\nAlongside the garment development, I would also like to create a series of\nexclusive all-over prints on sustainable fabrics such as Carvico ECONYL\u00ae.\nThe visual direction is inspired by natural elements\u2014light reflections on\nwater, sea textures, shell surfaces and other organic details interpreted\nin a contemporary way. I will provide the creative direction and visual\nreferences.\n\nAs this is my first collection, I'm not simply looking for a manufacturer,\nbut for a partner who can support me throughout the development process and\nhelp me make the best technical decisions, from prototype refinement\nthrough to production.\n\nI would also be interested in developing matching fabric pouches made from\nthe same printed fabric as the swimwear, together with all the necessary\ngarment labels, including branded woven labels, composition and care\nlabels, ensuring compliance with current regulations for products sold\nonline and internationally.\n\nThe first production run will naturally be relatively small, as this will\nbe the launch of the brand. However, my goal is to build a long-term\nrelationship with the right manufacturing partner as La Bise grows.\n\nIf you believe this is a project your company could support, I would be\ndelighted to arrange a call and share the work completed so far, including\nthe current prototypes, patterns, sketches and the brand brief.\n\nThank you very much for your time and consideration. I look forward to\nhearing from you.\n\nKind regards,\n\nNoruena Iannuzzi",

Tech packs \/ Physical samples\nAt the moment, I don't have final tech packs yet.\nI do have design sketches, reference images for the styles, and existing\npatterns for two of the styles I intend to develop. However, after\nevaluating the first prototypes, I decided to redesign and refine the\ncollection, as the results didn't fully meet my expectations in terms of\nfit, construction and overall quality.\nMy intention is to use the existing work as a starting point, but to\nredevelop the collection together with your team. I would provide the\ndesign sketches and creative direction, while I would really value your\nexpertise in pattern development, prototyping, fitting and technical\nrefinement, so that we can create garments that meet a premium standard.\nRegarding the prints, I have created a Pinterest mood board that\nillustrates the visual direction I'd like to explore.\nThe idea is to develop four exclusive prints inspired by marine textures\nand natural underwater elements. I can provide all the visual references\nand creative direction, but I would need your support in transforming those\nideas into production-ready prints suitable for sustainable swimwear\nfabrics.\nYou can find the mood board here:\nhttps:\/\/it.pinterest.com\/noruenai\/pattern\/\n\n2. Quantities\nAs this will be the first collection of the brand, I was initially planning\na relatively small production run.\nI noticed that your minimum order quantity is 200 units per style. Since my\nintention is to launch the collection with four styles, this would mean\nproducing 800 swimsuits for the very first collection, which is a\nsignificant quantity for an emerging brand.\nI completely understand the reasons behind your MOQ, but I was wondering\nwhether there might be any flexibility for start-up brands, or whether you\noffer a development phase or alternative solutions before moving to full\nproduction quantities.\n\n3. Target price\nAt this stage, I don't have a fixed production target price.\nMy priority is developing a high-quality, sustainable product with\nexcellent fit and construction. The brand will be positioned in the premium\nsegment, with an expected retail price of approximately \u20ac150\u2013200 per\nswimsuit.\n\n4. Timeline\nIdeally, I would like to start the development process as soon as possible.\nMy goal is to have the collection ready during the autumn so that I have\nenough time to organise the photoshoot, build the website, prepare the\nmarketing campaign and launch the brand ahead of the next swim season.\nThank you again for your time.
