The design is fully registered in both the EU and the US.\nOur Project Status:\n\n   - Ready Assets: We possess a fully finalized, digitally graded pattern\n   and tech pack.\n   - Construction Transition: The current tech pack is built for a\n   traditional sewn construction. We require an R&D\/manufacturing partner to\n   help transition this into a high-tech execution utilizing Santoni\n   seamless circular knitting and ultrasonic\/bonded seams.\n   - Material Priority: Our design strictly prioritizes premium natural\n   fibers (such as TENCEL\u2122 Lyocell, Modal, and Organic Cotton) for the body\n   and skin-contact layers.\n\nCommercial Readiness:\n\n   - We have capital allocated to cover standard R&D programming,\n   engineering, and prototyping fees.\n   - Our initial production volume projections align with standard European\n   startup Minimum Order Quantities (500+ units per style\/color).\n   - Our timeline is highly flexible, allowing us to align with a factory's\n   open R&D machine schedule.\n\nCould you please let us know if you have factories within your network\npossessing these specific seamless knitting and advanced bonding\ncapabilities? If so, we would love to arrange an initial call to discuss\nyour agency's onboarding process and submit our mutual Non-Disclosure\nAgreement (NDA).\nThank you for your time and consideration.\n-- \nBest regards,\n\nSuraya O'Brien,\nFounder\/Designer\nFlow Riders Ltd\n\n\"Flow the way you want!\"\n\nVisit the Flow Riders website",

We understand that advanced\nengineering and premium components command a higher manufacturing cost, and\nwe have the budget allocated to pay your standard R&D programming and\nprototyping fees.\nPlease note: - The current tech pack is built for a traditional sewn\nconstruction.
