A Swimwear Manufacturer in Istanbul Since 1996
Thirty years in one category. We manufacture swimwear in Avcilar, Istanbul, and supply boutiques, wholesalers and private label brands in more than 25 countries.
Thirty years, one category
Istanbul Swimwear has been manufacturing swimwear, bikinis and beachwear since 1996. Not textiles generally, not apparel broadly — swimwear. Three decades of doing one thing is the reason our patterns fit, our fabric choices hold up, and our lead times are what we say they are.
We produce from our facility in Avcilar, Istanbul, and supply boutiques, wholesalers, importers and private label brands in more than 25 countries.
What we manufacture
Women’s swimwear
Bikinis, one-piece, tankini, across the standard S to XXL size run.
Plus size
A full 3XL to 5XL range, drafted for the size rather than graded up.
Modest swimwear
Burkini, long sleeve and swim hijab, in fabric that stays opaque wet.
Beachwear
Cover-ups, pareos, beach dresses, kaftans, bandanas.
Kids and men
Girls’ swimwear and men’s swim shorts alongside the main range.
Private label
OEM and ODM production under your own brand.
How we are set up differently
Most swimwear manufacturing in Turkey is built around container-sized orders and long lead times. That model works if you are a chain. It does not work if you are a boutique with one shop, an online seller testing a category, or a brand launching its first swim line.
We built the opposite. Products are sold in series — five pieces covering a full size run — with low minimum order quantities. You can start small, find out what your customer actually buys, and reorder in season.
Fabric
Premium Lycra by DuPont across the range: four-way stretch, shape retention, and resistance to chlorine and UV. Swimwear is judged on how it looks after a season, not on arrival, and fabric is where that is decided.
Where we ship
Why buyers stay
Sourcing from Turkey carries one real risk for a first-time buyer: you are sending money to a company you have never met. There is no clever answer to that. The only honest one is time.
We have manufactured under the same name since 1996. Our buyers reorder season after season, which is a harder thing to claim than a low price and a more useful one to hear.
Istanbul Swimwear is a woman-owned manufacturer, founded and led by Hayriye Demirkol.
Frequently asked questions
How long has Istanbul Swimwear been manufacturing?
Since 1996 — roughly thirty years, in swimwear specifically rather than general apparel.
Where is your facility?
Avcilar, Istanbul, Turkey. Production, sampling and finishing are handled in the same city, which keeps sampling cycles short.
Which countries do you export to?
More than 25, with regular shipments into the EU, the United States, Russia and the Turkic republics.
Are you a manufacturer or a trading company?
A manufacturer. We produce the garments we sell, which is why private label, custom fit and fabric specification are all possible.
What is your minimum order quantity?
Low. Products are supplied in series of five pieces covering a full size run, so a single boutique can order without committing to bulk volumes.
