This is very helpful.\n\nBefore ruling this out, could you please clarify whether the 200-unit MOQ\nper style can be split between the two colourways? For example, 100 units\nin one colour and 100 units in the second colour.\n\nI would also like to better understand the sampling phase you mentioned. As\nthe products will already have been developed and approved beforehand with\nmy pattern maker, and I will provide final patterns, tech packs and\nprototypes, what sampling steps would still be required on your side before\nproduction?\n\nI completely understand that you may need to produce your own\npre-production sample before starting the bulk production.\n\nThank you again,\nBest regards,\nJos\u00e9phine\n\nLe lun. 10 ao\u00fbt 2026 \u00e0 16:08, Matilde Azevedo  a\n\u00e9crit :\n\n> Hello Jos\u00e9phine,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out and providing such detailed information about\n> your project.

This step is crucial for quality assurance and to confirm that all details meet your expectations before moving into full production.\n\nIf you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask.\n\nBest regards,  \nMatilde",

The aim is therefore to come to the manufacturer with fully\ndeveloped and approved products, including *graded patterns, tech packs and\nprototypes*, as well as the *main fabrics, which I will source beforehand*.\n\nA particular focus is being placed on *fit, comfort and support, especially\nduring movement and activities in the water*. I am therefore ideally\nlooking for a manufacturer with strong experience in swimwear production\nand used to working on products where the quality of fit and construction\nis particularly important.\n\nI would be very interested to learn more about how you work, and in\nparticular:\n\n   - What are your *minimum order quantities (MOQ)* per style and\/or per\n   colour?\n   - Do you work with patterns, tech packs and prototypes developed by an\n   external pattern maker?\n   - What is the usual *lead time between receiving the final technical\n   files and starting production*?\n   - How long would production typically take for quantities of this size?\n   - When would you recommend *booking a production slot for a collection\n   launching in April\/May 2027*?\n\nAs soon as the technical files are sufficiently advanced, I would also be\nhappy to send them to you in order to receive an *initial estimate of the\nmanufacturing cost* for each style.\n\nI will be in Portugal on *26, 27, 28 and 31 August* to meet different\npartners and suppliers. If you are available on any of these dates, I would\nbe very happy to visit your factory, learn more about the way you work and\ndiscuss the project in more detail.\n\nPlease let me know if this type of project and production volume could be a\ngood fit for your company.\n\nThank you very much for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.\n\nBest regards,\n\n-- \n*Jos\u00e9phine PASCAL*",
