Founder

Ali Kabaklı

Textile engineer with 36 years of experience across spinning, knitting, dyeing and garment manufacturing. Based in Izmir, working directly with buyers on development, pricing and production planning.

The decision to open a Start Your Brand programme came from seeing how many small international labels struggled to find a trustworthy Turkish partner willing to work at low minimums. We made that our entry point.
