Why source modest fashion wholesale from Turkey

Turkey is the world capital of modest fashion: Istanbul hosts the largest modest fashion week, and ateliers in Merter and Fatih ship abayas to the Gulf, Malaysia, Indonesia, the UK and the US every week. Designers excel at intricate embroidery, beaded detailing and elegant silhouettes that respect modesty without compromising on style.

Production process

Modest programs begin with silhouette and modesty-level discussion - sleeve length, neckline, hem, opacity. Sampling runs 10 to 14 days, with full-length proto fittings. Bulk lead time is 25 days for jersey hijabs and prayer wear, 35 to 40 days for abayas and beaded evening pieces. Many factories pack with hijab pin-sets and modest-friendly hangtags.
