6 CUSTOM DESIGN Custom Design is where your ideas shine! For us to develop your dream swimsuit and bikini we want to understand your ideas clearly. Ideally this means complete tech specs + patterns or samples of what you want to develop. But since we also work with non-designers we are definitely flexible. We have example templates (which we call sample specs) with clear instructions of how to start and what we need from you. This could include pictures of products you like with notes on any adjustments. Extra notes: Feel free to take design inspiration from our private label ranges taking parts from one design and adding to another or combining them with your own ideas. You could even adjust cuts/coverage or add new details to the ready pieces. It s also possible to split your collection and have some custom design styles and some private label styles. This saves on development costs and time and is a unique feature very few swimwear manufacturers offer.

7 PRIVATE LABEL Private Label swimwear is our ready-to-go collection of swimwear designs. Choose the pieces you like, put your brand on them and they re ready to sell! Each year we conduct extensive research on what bikinis and swimsuits are in, what s out, and what the upcoming trends are for the season ahead. From that we create a collection of styles both on trend and re-worked classics. In our 2018 range we have 18 bikinis and 12 swimsuits. You can mix and match tops and bottoms between any styles. You could even combine them with your custom designs to flesh out your swim line. All styles are available in our full range of fabrics, in all colors and in any print. There are no development costs with private label. You only pay per piece. It s the quickest, simplest and most affordable method to manufacture a swimwear label.
