UNIQO SOURCING

About

Where brand requirements meet factory reality.

Uniqo LLC is a US-registered sourcing and production management company with an office in Istanbul, working with fashion and home brands across Europe and the United States.

Who we are

Operating from Istanbul since 2019, and today under Uniqo LLC in the United States.

We provide brands with end-to-end sourcing and production solutions from Turkey, combining speed, design insight and ethical manufacturing. With a strong supplier network and deep knowledge of the Turkish textile industry, we bridge the gap between established brands and high-quality manufacturers. Where a product is better made elsewhere in Europe, our partner networks in Portugal and Italy give us a second and third option rather than a compromise.

The work covers two divisions. In apparel: tailoring, outerwear, shirts, knitwear, woven and jersey, activewear and swimwear. In home textiles: towels, bathrobes, beach towels and peshtemals, bed and table linen — a category where Turkey has one of the world's deepest production ecosystems, with Denizli at its centre.

For some clients we manage an existing vendor base and negotiate on their behalf. For others we develop a range from sketch to shipment. Most engagements sit somewhere between the two. What does not change is the position we take: we work for the brand, not for the factory. Our recommendations are the ones we would make if the margin were ours.

Our team

We stay deliberately close to the work. You deal directly with the people making the decisions, not an account layer.

Our team is built around 20+ years of experience across brand-side buying, sourcing, merchandising and production. That includes brand-side buying at Hugo Boss, followed by years representing international buyers and developing Turkish suppliers to meet demanding product, quality and commercial requirements. Our experience spans tailoring, outerwear, shirting, knitwear and home textiles, across premium menswear, high-street volume retail and luxury e-commerce.

What that means in practice: your costing sheet, critical path and quality standards are understood from the brand side, while factory capability, production constraints and commercial realities are understood on the ground. Uniqo works across the United States and Istanbul, combining commercial coordination with direct sourcing and production execution in Turkey.

Our team's experience includes work with the brands shown here across buying, sourcing, merchandising and production. Not all are current accounts. Our experience also includes two decades of developing Turkish manufacturers and mills to meet international product, quality and commercial standards.

A US-based partner. Turkish production expertise on the ground.

Your contract with the manufacturer stays direct. We manage the work between you and the factory.

United States

Uniqo LLC is a US-registered company. Your service agreement and our fee sit here, in your jurisdiction and your language, with someone reachable in your working hours.

Istanbul

The sourcing and production office sits where the mills are. Vendor visits, sample chasing, inline inspection and the daily arguments about delivery happen in person, not over email from another continent.

How the money moves

The manufacturer invoices you directly for the goods. We invoice you separately for the sourcing and production management service. There is no mark-up sitting inside your product price.

Mission, vision and how we hold ourselves to it

Stated plainly, because a supplier relationship is only as good as what both sides can be held to.

Mission

To give brands streamlined, reliable sourcing built on quality, efficiency and sustainability — so that product decisions are made on good information rather than on hope.

Vision

To be a trusted sourcing and production partner for brands in Europe and the United States, known for responsible sourcing and for being reachable when something goes wrong.

Integrity and transparency

You know which mill or factory is making your product and what it costs to make. We do not build our position on information asymmetry.

Sustainability

We source against the certification and traceability requirements your brand already works to — organic and BCI cotton, recycled fibres, OEKO-TEX certified finishing, and factory audits under BSCI, Sedex or your own protocol. It is part of the standard process, not a premium service line.

Commitment to quality

Inline and final inspection on every order. A shipment that is not right does not leave.

We are easiest to judge on a real project.
