Quick answer
Spanish brands source from Turkey for quick response: short runs placed close to season, read against real sell-through, then repeated in three to four weeks. Road freight reaches Barcelona and Madrid in 4 to 6 days and Turkish origin goods enter duty free with an ATR certificate, so the reorder cycle is fast enough to trade in-season.
Quick response, not just cheap units
The Spanish retail model is built on buying shallow, reading the first two weeks of sales and pouring volume into winners. That only works if the production base can turn a repeat around inside the season, which sea freight from Asia cannot do.
We plan for it deliberately: hold the fabric on the styles most likely to repeat, keep the pattern and PP sample live, and book a capacity window in advance so a reorder does not go to the back of a queue.
- Initial drop from 100 pieces per style across a wide range
- Sell-through read in the first 10-14 days
- Repeat on held fabric in 3-4 weeks, not 5 months
- Losers left unrepeated instead of arriving in a container
Product groups Spanish buyers place here
Jersey and woven womenswear dominate, followed by knitwear and light outerwear. Turkey's strength in cotton jersey and its dyehouse base suit the colour-led ranges Spanish brands build, and the domestic denim and washing capacity covers the rest.
Logistics and duty into Spain
Road freight from Istanbul reaches Catalonia and Madrid in roughly four to six days. For larger pre-season drops, sea to Barcelona or Valencia runs seven to ten days at a lower cost per piece.
Turkish origin apparel enters Spain duty free under the EU-Turkey Customs Union with a valid ATR movement certificate, issued with your shipment.
