No. Uniqlo has no store in Istanbul, Antalya or elsewhere in Turkey, and no Turkish online shop (checked 05.10.2026). You can buy thermal layers, plain tees, jeans and puffers from Turkish brands instead. Pick the item you miss below: get the Turkish search words, a shop to try and the label details that matter.

  • Denim: Mavi or Colin’s. Graphic tees: KAFT. Office shirts: Sarar.

Read the label in Turkish

Tap a dot to read that part of the label. Beden means size; kalıp means fit. A name with pamuklu (cotton) or yün (wool) can still be a blend: the composition label gives the real percentages.

  1. Size · bedenRead the size and the brand’s chart together. Try the neighbouring size when the shoulders or waist feel wrong.
  2. Composition · içerikPamuk: cotton. Elastan: stretch fibre. Yün: wool. Viskon: viscose. Polyester stays polyester.
  3. Care · bakımFollow the garment’s wash, drying and ironing symbols. Keep the care label after cutting off the hangtag.
  4. Origin · menşeiTürkiye’de üretilmiştir means made in Turkey. Menşei introduces the country of origin.

Where to go in Istanbul

Go to Cevahir first: six of these chains are under one roof, straight off the M2 metro. İstinyePark and Zorlu Center are smarter malls with fewer of them. Each card links the mall’s store directory.

Ordering Uniqlo from abroad

Uniqlo’s EU shop does not deliver to Turkey, so you need a forwarding address in Europe: one more shipping fee and a customs step. Personal clothing parcels worth up to €1,500 and weighing up to 30 kg can come by express courier, cleared on a detailed declaration with import taxes (Ministry of Trade FAQ, 05.03.2026).

Since February 2026, overseas shopping orders no longer clear at a simple flat rate. The bill depends on the garment, where it was made and the courier’s fees, and the freight to Turkey counts in the customs value.

Buy the basic here

One local checkout

The price on the tag is what you pay, and the shop’s return window covers you.

Forward a foreign order

Get a landed-cost quote

Item + forwarding freight + import taxes + the courier’s declaration and service fees. Clothing has no fixed rate, so you only know the total from a quote.

Before paying abroad: get the courier’s clearance quote in writing. A cheap tee can pick up brokerage and storage charges larger than its price.

Travelling to a Uniqlo country? Buy there and bring it home in your luggage. Clothes for your own use count as personal belongings, and gifts are allowed up to €430 per traveller (€150 under 15). Keep the receipts. The gift allowance does not cover mailed orders. Use the exchange-rate page when comparing currencies.

Questions before you shop

Is Uniqlo opening in Turkey?

Nothing is listed. Fast Retailing’s store network and country websites have no Turkey entry (checked 05.10.2026).

Where is the nearest Uniqlo store?

In Europe: Italy, Poland and Germany all have Uniqlo stores. Use Uniqlo’s store locator for the city on your route.

Do Turkish sizes fit like Uniqlo’s?

Start with the brand’s size chart, then try on. Compare waist, chest and length in centimetres, not the letter size.

Can I get HEATTECH-type thermals in Turkey?

Yes. Search termal içlik at LC Waikiki for a thermal base layer. Choose the neckline, thickness and fit for the clothes you will wear over it.
