Why source lingerie & loungewear from Turkey
Turkey produces lingerie at quality levels comparable to Portugal and Italy, with a price floor that European DTC brands need to scale. Bursa is the country s lace heartland and supplies stretch lace, narrow elastics and bonded trims to lingerie ateliers across Istanbul.
Production process
Sampling typically requires two rounds because intimate fit is so subjective. Most factories will keep fit dolls in-house and run pull-tests on elastics, hooks and underwires. Bonded seam constructions are available for invisible-under-clothing programs.
