Please note that for underwear our minimum is 1,000 units per style and color, while for swimwear and robes it is 200 units per style.\n3.  **Timeline:** What is your desired delivery date for the production?\n4.  **Target Price:** What is your target production price per style, indicated separately for each style?\n\nOnce I have these details, I can better assess your project.",

I am currently working on the concept and gathering inspiration for the first designs, so I do not yet have a full Tech Pack. However I can prepare sketches and mood boards for the styles I would like to develop.\n\nMy intention is to start with a few prototypes to test the designs and fit before moving into production.\n\nI also noticed that there is a significant lack of elegant, high quality lingerie and resort pieces in the UAE market, which is one of the reasons I decided to develop this concept.\n\nRegarding quantities, I would initially be interested in developing samples and then evaluating the first production step afterwards.\n\nCould you please let me know if it would be possible to start with prototype development and sample creation?\n\nBest regards\nElenaVBH     Elena von Bohlen und Halbach  +971551885520  +491728884848  elena@v-b-h.com  www.v-b-h.eu  Al Marjan Boulevard Bab Al Bahr , Ras Al Khaimah, Marjan Island United Arab EmiratesAm 10.03.2026 um 17:27 schrieb Matilde Azevedo <info@portugaltextile.com>:\ufeffHello Elena,\n\nThank you for contacting us.

Since a physical sample isn't available to send, could you please share those reference images or any links to existing products that capture the aesthetic you are aiming for? This will give our team a clearer visual understanding.\n\nRegarding the quantities, I must clarify our factory's minimums to ensure we are aligned. For items like silk robes and swimwear, the minimum order is 200 units per style. For lingerie, due to the more detailed construction, our minimum is 1,000 units per style and per color. We would need to meet these quantities for a production run.\n\nTo help our sourcing team, could you also provide an estimated target production price for each of your styles? Even a preliminary figure is very helpful for the initial project analysis.\n\nAnd for your planning, our standard production cycle from confirming prototypes to final delivery takes about five months. This schedule allows us to maintain the high quality standards we're known for.
