Wholesale Clothing in Turkey: Suppliers, Packs and Order Costs
Choose online wholesalers or Istanbul showrooms, understand size packs, and check the sample, invoice and customs before ordering.
Table of Contents
Buy Turkish clothing through ready-stock packs, an own-label production order or a stock lot. For ready stock, start online with Lonca, which allows 1 pack per brand, or book showrooms in Istanbul’s Merter, Osmanbey and Laleli districts. For baby and children’s clothing, shortlist Bursa. Approve a sample, get a written pro forma and price the shipment to your country.
Your first order
Choose the clothes. Check the whole order.
- Where: online wholesalers, Istanbul showrooms or Bursa kidswear suppliers.
- Quantity: write the sale units and size mix inside each pack.
- Before paying: approve a sample and an itemised pro forma.
- At home: budget for freight, clearance, duty and import tax.
Istanbul by district
Book the showrooms before you travel. Merter and Güngören sit on the M1A and T1 lines, Laleli on the T1 in the old city and Osmanbey on the M2; kidswear means a separate day in Bursa.

A showroom visit
Send your brief first and ask every showroom to quote the same quantity. Take a paid sample and record its style code, fabric, measurements and colour. Read the pro forma back at the hotel, then sign once the order matches your notes.
Three ways to buy
Use ready stock to fill your shop, production to create your collection, and a stock lot when you can inspect the exact batch. Start by telling the seller which route you want.
Making your own collection and buying the fabric yourself? Our guide to fabrics in Turkey shows which city makes what and how to brief a mill in Turkish.
What are you buying?
For a boutique testing a collection: choose existing styles and their listed packs. Lonca starts at 1 pack per brand. Ask the seller to reserve the available stock and quote a dispatch date. Put the sizes, colours and any substitutions in writing before payment.
- Minimum
- Listed pack; check the order minimum.
- Timing
- Stock confirmation → dispatch.
For your own collection: send a design or reference garment, composition, measurements and label requirements. Use IFCO’s product and private-label filters to find production services. Request the minimum per style and colour, a paid sample and a production schedule; approve the specification before the run starts.
- Minimum
- Manufacturer’s written production quote.
- Timing
- Sample approval → production → dispatch.
For clearance buying: inspect the batch and obtain its exact count by style, size and condition. Agree which branded goods you have the right to resell. Put the batch list and remedy for shortages or faults in writing. Arrange inspection and collection around the seller’s confirmed availability.
- Minimum
- The agreed lot or split.
- Timing
- Batch inspection → collection.
A discount in a retail shop is not wholesale: wholesalers sell by the pack, to a business, on a trade invoice.
Online wholesalers
Start with the trade route that matches your product. Send the same brief to each seller: style, colour, size mix, quantity and destination. Compare the full order and shipment in one currency.
Lonca
Compare women’s clothing and accessories across brands. Start with 1 pack per brand and combine them into one shipment. Sign up to see wholesale prices. The help centre lists worldwide delivery and the countries where customs charges are paid at checkout. Buy stock for your shop: Lonca currently offers no dropshipping.
Fervente
Use the wholesale section for standard and plus-size collections. Its Blue Crepe Single Sleeve Maxi Dress comes in packs of 3, and its price shows without an account. Ask for your chosen colour’s size breakdown, the current minimum and an export delivery quote. Compare the fabric and finishing on a sample before ordering the full run.
Malkoç Bebe
Browse baby rompers, outfits and children’s ranges through its online wholesale shop. The showroom is on Vişne Caddesi in Bursa. Send product codes and ask for each model’s pack contents, prices and minimum. Put your destination in the enquiry and request the export delivery terms in writing. When comparing outfits, record whether the quoted unit is a complete set or a single garment.
For your own label, search the IFCO exhibitor directory by product. Setre’s profile lists women’s apparel, private label and sampling; Lacarino’s lists denim, sampling, cutting, sewing and washing. Request the sample, minimum and timetable for your design. Use our factory contacts and size-pack counter to prepare the enquiry.
Piece, set, pack, carton
A carton holds packs; a pack holds sale units. A sale unit can be a dress or a complete outfit. Put the unit beside every quantity and price on your order.
Fervente’s dress listing: 3 units in a pack = 3 dresses to sell.
Example: a pack of 2 five-piece sets = 10 garments but 2 sale units.
Use the size-pack counter to check your intended mix before requesting the quote.
Bursa: kidswear
For baby and children’s ranges, book a visit to the Vişne Caddesi area. Compare samples and measurements across the suppliers on your shortlist.
Bursa · Vişne Caddesi
Buy by measurement.
Malkoç Bebe lists its showroom on Vişne Caddesi. BEKSİAD represents Bursa’s baby and children’s garment sector. Ask for the garment measurements and intended child height, then compare the sample’s fastening, seams and care label before choosing the size mix.
One maker’s 2–3 years is another’s 18–24 months: compare the centimetres, not the label.
Before you pay
Check these six things against the sample and the written order. Keep the approved specification with your invoice.
Ready to place the order?
Keep the sample notes, pro forma and agreed remedy together.
Shipping and customs
Name the delivery term and the exact place in the pro forma. Under ICC’s Incoterms rules, these four terms divide transport and customs work differently. Include the edition shown in your contract.
| Term | Transport and clearance | Import duty & tax |
|---|---|---|
| EXW · Ex Works | You collect and arrange carriage, loading and export clearance. | Buyer |
| FCA · Free Carrier | Seller delivers to your carrier at the named point and clears export; you arrange onward carriage. | Buyer |
| DAP · Delivered at Place | Seller arranges carriage to the named destination, ready for unloading; you clear import. | Buyer |
| DDP · Delivered Duty Paid | Seller arranges carriage and export/import clearance to the named destination; you unload. | Seller |
