What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

Our standard MOQ is 100 pieces per style, which you may split across sizes and colourways. Fabric and category can affect what is practical, and we confirm the exact minimum with your quotation.

How long does production take in Turkey?

Sampling typically takes 1–2 weeks. Bulk production lead time is 4–6 weeks after sample approval, depending on quantity and fabric availability. Shipping to the EU takes 3–7 days by road and 1–2 days by air.

Why should I manufacture clothing in Turkey instead of Asia?

Turkey combines EU-adjacent logistics, vertically integrated fabric mills, skilled garment workers and duty-free access to the EU under the Customs Union. You get faster lead times, easier factory visits, lower shipping costs and smaller MOQs than most Asian suppliers.

Can you work with our existing tech packs and patterns?

Yes. We produce from your tech packs and patterns, or develop both from scratch — including pattern making, grading and size-set validation — in our Istanbul product development office.

Do you handle labelling, packaging and shipping?

Yes. We offer full-package production: woven labels, hang tags, printed poly bags, retail packaging, barcoding and worldwide delivery including DDP terms to the EU, UK and US.

Which certifications and standards do you support?

We work with OEKO-TEX certified fabrics and partner facilities holding GOTS, BSCI and Sedex audits. Compliance documentation can be provided per order on request.

How an order runs, and how far it scales

Five stages, identical for a 100 piece test and a 100,000 piece programme. Volume changes the plan, the buying power and the number of quality gates, never the standard the goods are inspected to.

Five stage apparel production flow used in Turkey: tech pack and costing, sampling, fabric and trim sourcing, bulk production with in-line checks, then AQL final inspection and shipping

Four order volume tiers: 100 to 499 pieces for launch runs, 500 to 1,999 for repeat orders, 2,000 to 9,999 for planned seasons, and 10,000 pieces and above on allocated lines

Frequently Asked Questions

The seven subjects this site covers properly

A sourcing decision is never one question. Each pillar below is a subject we set out to cover completely, from the first thing a buyer asks to the paperwork that clears the shipment.

Clothing manufacturing services in Turkey

How a garment order is actually run: the production model you buy, the order size you commit to, the sampling that comes first and the decoration that goes on top.

Garment categories we manufacture

Product-by-product manufacturing pages. Each one names the fabrics that work, the GSM range buyers usually land on, the decoration that suits it and the realistic MOQ.

Who we manufacture for

The same factory floor behaves differently depending on who is buying. These pages set expectations by brand stage, sales channel and market segment.

Fabrics and materials

Turkey's real advantage is its mills. These pages explain how each material behaves in production, what it costs in lead time, and which certificates travel with it.

Export markets and delivery

Country pages that answer the question a buyer actually has: how long does it take to reach me, what duty do I pay, and what has to be on the label.

Manufacturing regions of Turkey

Turkish apparel is not made in one place. Each district and city has a speciality, and picking the wrong one is the most common sourcing mistake.
