Most asked
Are you a one-stop-shop?
Yes. We’re a one-stop-shop to a certain degree. You won’t have to do anything other than share your vision for your swim label. What we can’t produce in-house, we source locally like fabrics, tags and labels from the best suppliers available in the market.
Are you a swimwear vendor?
We design, produce, market and wholesale swimwear under our own brand, “Mar Egeu.” We also produce swimwear for start-ups and people who dream of creating their own swim label and bikini collection.
Are there fees associated with adding my logo on the bikinis?
In addition to the 10% added to private label orders, there are no additional fees unless you prefer more elaborate labels such as embroidered ones rather than printed logos or multi-color swing tags. The additional fees are minor and would just add about $1 or $2 more to the final price of the bikini.
Could you give me wholesale prices and suggested Retail?
Wholesale prices are published on our order form which we share in our general introduction email. The general rule is to resell bikinis for at least twice the amount you paid for.
Can we change the pattern, color and add our logo?
Yes. We can alter the bikini style, color and add your logo but that may fall under the custom design service if it’s a print we don’t have.
Can you please let us know your MOQ per style, size and color?
There are no minimums per style when placing a wholesale order or private label order. There is only an MOQ when producing your own bikini from scratch which is 120 bikinis.
Are you ethical and sustainable?
Yes. Absolutely. We don’t employ child labor and adhere to strict Brazilian tax and labor laws. For more information on sustainability and our Eco friendly fabrics please read this article.
Can you provide samples, patterns of material used to make swimsuits?
Yes, we can send you our bikinis. We encourage first time buyers to start off with 12 samples to get a feel for the quality and range of styles. You can choose from your favorite models (or allow us) and we’ll check back on availability. If you’re interested in sampling just one bikini, it costs $89.90 + shipping. A credit of $50 will be applied if you decide to place an order for at least 12 bikinis.
Can you add my company name and logo on the package.
Yes. We'll provide a quote for that depending on the packaging selected.
Do the bikinis arrive with washing instructions tags and our logo?
Yes, all bikinis include washing instruction tags, sizing labels and a logo if you decide to private label.
Can we arrange for our own shipments?
Yes, you can organise your own shipping preference. We mostly use Fedex since we have a good working relationship with them for more than 15 years and have access to discounts that most customers find hard to match.
Do you know what the import tax in my country is?
Every country has their own import tax code making it difficult to provide any guidance. In some cases, no taxes are levied like Australia if the value of the goods declared is less than $1,000. As a general guideline, we believe customers should add about $1.50 to cover additional fees incurred. For instance, if you purchase 20 bikinis and are thinking of selling them for $45, then to cover the cost of import you should pass the additional cost on to the customer so they end up buying your bikini for at least $46.50.
Do you stock string and micro bikinis?
Our swimwear collection does not consist of string or micro bikinis, also known as “fio dental” or dental floss in Brazil, but we regularly produce these revealing cuts for clients around the world. We can produce any cut you like.
Do you also produce bikinis specialized for bigger breast/larger cups?
Yes. Absolutely. We produced curvy styles and cup sizes to accommodate most sizes.
