SIGNIFICANCE OF TURKEY
As the fashion industry continues to globalize, Turkey has proven itself to be well-positioned to play a leading role. The country has the resources and the talent and rightfully has been a major powerhouse for global fashion.
The importance of fashion in Turkey is growing due to a number of factors. The country has a strong textile and apparel industry, a skilled workforce, and a growing number of talented designers. Turkey is also a strategic location, with easy access to Europe and Asia.
We identified Turkey’s significance since it is a great bridge between Europe and Asia. It is a great alternative for people who want to produce garments closer to their homes, and not halfway across the world. The customs and logistics are smooth, and the language barrier is less prominent compared to its other Asian counterparts.
One of the other great things about Turkish garment manufacturers is their versatility. Manufacturers and factories in Turkey are capable of doing small to bigger quantities. With the Turkish market, we can find great and reliable factories along the spectrum of high to low MOQs to cater to your every need.
Turkey has the ATR agreement, which allows Deepwear’s partners (suppliers and factories) to draw out items from customs with low taxation. All of the suppliers and factories we work with are certified (i.e. BCI – Better Cotton Initiative).
All of these factors make Turkey an unmissable alternative for fashion production. But the lack of the right markets, right suppliers and the understanding of how the industry works there has made many people a little hesitant to move away from their conventional options towards Turkey.
