Founded in 1986 by Hanna Darsa

Hanna Darsa founded Darsateks in Istanbul in 1986, and it has grown into one of Türkiye's leading women's wear manufacturers. Quality, reliability and a readiness to try new methods have kept us working for fashion brands known around the world.

Our headquarters and design studio are in Istanbul; our production is in Erbaa, Tokat. We cut, sew and finish 200,000 pieces a month there and export 97% of them, to Europe, the Americas and the Far East.

With 250 people, a design and merchandising team of about 35, modern production technology and our own solar power, we give fashion brands high quality and the flexibility to follow what sells.

Milestones

The dates we can put on record.

    A solar roof

    960 solar panels go onto the Erbaa roof. The factory now makes more power than it uses and sells the surplus to the grid.

    A second factory rises

    Work starts on a second green factory across the road: columns in February, the steel shell clad by the summer.

How the solar factory works

Our mission

Production, for us, is a responsibility as much as a process. Our mission is to meet fashion's changing needs with fast, flexible and sustainable production, and to make collections that add value for the brands we work with.

  • Excellence as the standard at every stage, from design to production.
  • An ethical, fair and transparent production process.
  • A way of making that respects people and nature, and sets an example for the industry.

Our vision

To shape the future of fashion through sustainable production, today.

Our aim is to be the Turkish manufacturer the global fashion industry knows for clean, technology-led production.

  • We keep improving sustainable textile technologies.
  • We run on renewable energy: 960 solar panels on the Erbaa roof power the factory, and the surplus goes to the grid.
  • We design and fit in 3D with Style3D and Prosoft AI.
