Women's wear manufacturer Istanbul — Erbaa, Tokat Since 1986

Made in Erbaa, worn in London.

We design and manufacture women's wear for Reiss, Whistles, Karl Lagerfeld, Boden and the houses beside them: two million pieces a year from our solar-powered factory in Anatolia.

A factory that runs on sunlight.

960 solar panels on the roof of our Erbaa eco-factory power the floor, and the surplus goes to the grid. Rainwater is recycled, electric steam irons have replaced gas, and daylight comes in through glass roof windows.
