How a brief runs
How a brief for Gaziantep actually runs.
Denim and outerwear sit at the long end of the bulk range, so the weeks matter more here. These are the ones we plan with.
01
Send the briefDay 0
Product, fabric, pieces per style, target date and where the goods land. A photo or a reference garment is enough to start.
02
We replywithin 24 hours
An honest answer on fit. Our fee, if your project needs one, is quoted in writing before any work starts and is never tied to order size.
03
The factory choiceabout a week
We place the brief with the factory in our group built for your product, fabric and quantity. For denim and outerwear that is most often in Gaziantep. You have one point of contact from sample to delivery.
04
Pattern and samples2–4 weeks
Pattern to first sample in 10–14 days, then a round of corrections. You approve the sample, and bulk starts from it.
05
Bulk and shipping9–11 weeks
Bulk from the approved sample for the products made most here. The factory bills you directly; your forwarder confirms the transport.
Reviewing a garment during inspection
We pick the factory, not the city.
If the best line for your product is elsewhere in Turkey, we tell you and place the brief there. Plan with the 14-week rule: start at least 14 weeks before a fixed ship date.
Gaziantep is a long-standing textile city in southeast Turkey. How it connects to the rest of the map, with general background kept apart from where we produce:
Schematic, not to scale · no transit times implied
KahramanmaraşRegional background
Spinning and denim weaving are widely associated with the area around Kahramanmaraş, next door. Where your denim is woven matters for UK rules of origin.
AdanaRegional background
On the Çukurova plain, a long-standing cotton-growing region.
Outerwear and sampling rooms; some denim sewing and washing also runs around Istanbul (we confirm per brief).
“Where we produce” is how our group works today. “Regional background” is general, widely known context, not a claim about our factories. Neither is a factory count: we never publish one per city.
Brief checklist
A Gaziantep brief, ready to quote.
For the denim and outerwear most brands bring here. Tick what you already have.
It is where we produce most denim and outerwear: the factories in our group there are built for jeans and jackets. We still pick the factory, not the city, so a brief can go elsewhere if the product fits better.
Denim starts at 200 pieces per style, outerwear at 150. We confirm the exact minimum, and whether colours can share it, before you commit.
Budget 2–4 weeks for sampling, then 9–11 weeks of bulk from the approved sample. With a fixed ship date, start at least 14 weeks before it, and earlier for a first order.
For the UK, yes: zero tariff under the UK-Turkey agreement depends on the rules of origin, which depend on where the fabric came from. Ask the factory where the cloth is woven and check with your broker.
Usually not customs duty: clothing in free circulation in Turkey that travels with an A.TR movement certificate usually enters the EU without it. Import VAT and your broker’s fee still apply. This is general guidance, not customs advice: check with your broker.
Step 1 of your brief
What are you making, and how many?
Denim and outerwear are pre-ticked, the products most brands bring to Gaziantep. Change them freely, pick the pieces per style, and the brief opens with both filled in.
