            "content": "Dear Portugal Textile Team,\n\nMy name is Samia and I am currently developing a new premium women\u2019s swimwear brand, with a focus on elegant, feminine and more covered swimwear.\n\nFor my first collection, I am developing three swim dress designs. I am currently in the fabric sampling stage and have requested several technical swimwear fabrics from different suppliers. However, I am also very open to sourcing fabrics directly through the manufacturer and would be interested to learn what materials you can source or recommend for this type of product.\n\nI am looking for a manufacturing partner in Portugal who can support me with the development and sampling process and, once the designs and fit are approved, with a small first production run.\n\nCould you please let me know:\n\n\u2022 Whether you have experience producing swimwear and swim dresses;\n\u2022 Whether you can assist with pattern development, sampling and grading;\n\u2022 What you would need from me to start the development process;\n\u2022 Whether you can source and recommend high-quality technical swimwear fabrics;\n\u2022 Your minimum order quantities per style and\/or colour;\n\u2022 The approximate costs for development and samples;\n\u2022 Your usual production lead times;\n\u2022 Whether you can provide and attach woven brand labels, size labels and care\/content labels;\n\u2022 Whether the garments and production can be fully manufactured in Portugal.\n\nAt this stage, I intend to receive the complete production myself in the Netherlands and handle the final customer packaging and fulfilment independently.\n\nAs I am starting with a small first collection, I am looking for a manufacturer who is comfortable supporting a growing brand through the initial development and production stages.\n\nI would be happy to share further information, sketches and references once I know whether the project would be a good fit for your production capabilities.\n\nThank you very much. I look forward to hearing from you.\n\nKind regards,\n\nSamia Bourakaa",

            "content": "Dear Matilde,\n\nThank you very much for your detailed response and for confirming that you have experience producing swim dresses. I\u2019m very happy to hear that my project could potentially be a good fit for your production.\n\nFor my first collection, I am currently developing three different swim dress styles. I do not have completed Tech Packs or physical samples yet, as I am still in the development stage. However, I do have sketches and references for the designs that I can share with you.\n\nBefore I send the designs for evaluation, I would like to clarify a few points regarding your MOQ.\n\nYou mentioned a minimum order quantity of 200 units per style. Can these 200 units be divided across different colours and sizes within the same style? If so, is there a minimum quantity required per colour?\n\nAs this will be my first collection, I initially planned to start with a smaller production run and increase quantities as the brand grows. Therefore, understanding how the 200-unit MOQ can be divided is important for me before determining the final quantities.\n\nRegarding the target production price, since the three designs differ in complexity and this is my first collection, I would prefer to first understand your estimated production price range after you have reviewed the designs, rather than setting an unrealistic target price at this stage.\n\nI am also currently receiving and testing fabric samples from several suppliers. However, I am open to sourcing fabrics through you as well. Could you please let me know whether you can source and recommend suitable high-quality swimwear fabrics for the designs?\n\nOnce I have a better understanding of the above, I would be happy to share my sketches and references with you so that you can evaluate the designs and advise me on the next steps.\n\nThank you again, and I look forward to hearing from you.\n\nBest regards,\n\nSamia Bourakaa\n\n\nOp 12 aug 2026 om 07:22 heeft Samia Bourakaa  het volgende geschreven:\n\n\ufeff\nVerstuurd vanaf mijn iPhone\n\nBegin doorgestuurd bericht:\n\nVan: Matilde Azevedo \nDatum: 11 augustus 2026 om 21:59:16 CEST\nAan: samia.bourakaa@hotmail.com\nOnderwerp: Antw: Inquiry \u2013 Development & Production of Premium Women\u2019s Swimwear\nAntwoord aan: Matilde Azevedo \n\n\ufeff Hello Samia,\n\nThank you for reaching out and sharing details about your exciting new swimwear brand.

            "content": "Hello Samia,\n\nThank you for your detailed response and for providing more information about your project. \n\nRegarding the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for swimwear, the 200 units per style can indeed be divided across different colors and sizes. However, we require a minimum of 100 units per color within the same style.\n\nAs for the target production price, I understand your preference to wait until we have reviewed the designs. However, to proceed with the evaluation, we still need an initial target price per style. This helps our technical team understand your budget expectations and align our sourcing and production processes accordingly. Please provide an estimated target price, even if it's a rough figure.\n\nRegarding fabric sourcing, we can certainly assist in sourcing and recommending high-quality swimwear fabrics suitable for your designs. Once we have a better understanding of your project details, we can discuss fabric options that align with your brand's vision.\n\nPlease let me know your thoughts on the MOQ and provide an estimated target price per style. Once we have this information, you can share your sketches and references, and we can proceed with evaluating your designs.\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards.",
