Modest Fashion and Abaya Wholesale from Turkey

Sourcing modest fashion and abayas wholesale from Turkey: manufacturer groups, technical details and the export process.

Modest fashion and abaya wholesale from Turkey is sourced from specialist workshops in the Merter district of Istanbul. MerterAI pools current production tagged as conservative style in one catalog; quotes for models narrowed by length, sleeve and fabric are requested from the supplier.

What makes Turkish production different?

In Turkey modest fashion developed as a separate sub-industry: there are workshops specialising in tunics, ferace, abayas, modest sets and shawls. Fabric quality and workmanship are why production from the region is preferred in export.

Which technical details should be requested?

Length measurements, sleeve length, neckline depth, fabric opacity, lining and pocket details come first. In abaya and ferace groups the fabric drape (crepe, medina-silk look fabrics) is decisive.

How does the export process work?

For export orders, labelling language, size charts, packing and delivery terms (FOB/EXW) are settled. MerterAI runs discovery and comparison online; commercial terms are set directly with the manufacturer.
