We certainly have experience with waterproof outerwear and it's a pleasure to connect with you.\n\nIt is absolutely possible to begin with development and sampling. Before we can provide specific costs, our technical team needs a few key details to properly analyze your project.\n\nTo start, I was wondering which country you are based in?\n\nAlso, could you tell me a bit about your designs? Do you have a Tech Pack or a physical sample of the rain suits that you could send to our office?\n\nJust to get a better sense of the project's scope for a future production run, it would be helpful to know the number of styles you are planning for both the adult and children's suits, and what your intended order quantity would be per style. For our planning, please note that a set (like a jacket and trousers) is considered two separate styles.\n\nFinally, to help us align with your vision, it would be very useful to know your target production price for each style.\n\nOnce I have these details, I can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps.",

The concept is based on one-piece rain\nsuits (jumpsuits), rather than separate jackets and trousers.\n\nMy intention is to create a *high-quality product*, not only visually\nappealing but also waterproof, comfortable and durable.\n\nI would really appreciate your guidance regarding *materials, construction\nand price-quality balance*, as this is very important for me.\n\nAt the moment, I do not have a physical prototype.\nI only have *visual concept image* showing how I would like the rain suits\nto look, I hope that would be enough for you to get the idea.\n\nI would like to understand if this design would be technically feasible and\nsuitable for production.\n\nMy plan is to first test market interest before moving to full production.I\nwould like to evaluate whether customers would be interested in\npre-ordering the product, and if there is a sufficient demand, we would\nproceed with a production order.\n\nInitially, I am planning:\n\n=E2=80=A2 4 styles (same construction, different colors)\n=E2=80=A2 adult and children versions of each style\n=E2=80=A2 starting with sample development only\n\nIf the market response is positive, the intended production quantity would\nbe approximately:\n\n=E2=80=A2 100=E2=80=93300 pieces per style (first production run)\n\nTarget production price (estimated):\n\n=E2=80=A2 children: 40=E2=80=9360 EUR\n=E2=80=A2 adults: 60=E2=80=9390 EUR\n\nHowever, I am flexible and would appreciate your recommendation depending\non fabric quality and construction.\n\nI would be happy to share the concept visuals with you.\n\nFor now, I would prefer to start with *sample development phase*, before\ncommitting to production.\n\nI've attached a techpack and a photo with the designs\n\nPlease let me know the next steps and if you need any additional\ninformation.\n\nThanks again!\n\nBest regards,\nSibel\n\nOn Wed, Mar 25, 2026 at 2:40=E2=80=AFPM Sibel Nadarova \nwrote:\n\n>\n>\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided attached files (puddle_family_rainsuit_techpack__1__69c3dd41bb3d4.pdf, puddle_family_design_69c3dd41bb44c.png).

I have received them, and they provide a clear idea of the premium, high-quality concept you are aiming for.\n\nRegarding a potential production run, I see you\u2019ve estimated a quantity of 100\u2013300 pieces per style. To maintain the high standards of production here in Portugal, our minimum quantity for adult garments is 200 units per style, and for kidswear, it is 250 units per style and per color. Would you be able to meet these quantities for your first production order?\n\nOne more thing I'd love to check with you is your timeline. Could you let me know your desired delivery date for this collection? Our full development and production cycle, from prototyping to final delivery, typically requires about five months. It's also important to consider that our factories close for several weeks in August, so we would need to add an extra month for any project spanning the summer period.
