Eylül Tekstil is one of the older sourcing agencies in Istanbul still run by its founders. The company was set up in 1996 by Demet Poyraz Şerbetçi, and her sister Deniz Poyraz Kırmanlı joined later; both are still named and pictured on the site, which is rare in a market where most agencies present an anonymous team. The registered entity is Eylül Tekstil İç ve Dış Tic. Ltd. Şti., with an office in the Ulus area of Beşiktaş on the European side of Istanbul. The service range is narrow by design. Eylül sources fabrics and raw materials such as yarns, and separately sources finished ready-to-wear: t-shirts, sweatshirts, polos, shirts, shorts, trousers, jeans, dresses, skirts, leggings, jackets, outerwear, socks, underwear, pyjamas, knitwear and hats, for men, women, kids and infants. The team follows the collection from the fabric selection stage through sampling and production to shipment. The practical advantage is that fabric and garment sourcing are not split between two suppliers, which is where fit and shade problems usually enter a collection. The language mix is a genuine differentiator. The team works in Italian, English and Turkish, and the client base shown on the site is heavily Italian. Turkey's advantage for European brands is proximity and small-run flexibility, and an agency that negotiates directly with Italian brands and Turkish mills removes the interpreter layer from technical discussions about construction, handfeel and colour approval. What the profile does not give you: no pricing, no minimum order quantities, no certificates, no inspection methodology and no named client references beyond a logo wall that includes Prada, Armani, Versace, Diesel and others. Treat the logo wall as a claim, not as evidence, and ask for two references in your product group. The website is also dated and partly served over plain HTTP, so do not read design quality as a proxy for operating quality here, in either direction.
No fees are published. Eylül Tekstil works on a commission model typical for Istanbul agencies, usually 5 to 10 percent of order value depending on volume and whether fabric sourcing is included. Ask whether the commission is charged on garment FOB only or also on fabric passed through, whether sampling is billed separately, and whether the agency receives any payment from the mill. Because the agency does not describe inspection services, agree in writing who inspects, at which stage and against which AQL level, and budget for a third-party inspection firm if needed.
The company was founded in 1996 in Istanbul and has operated continuously since, which makes it one of the longer-established sourcing agencies in the Turkish market.
Fabrics and raw materials such as yarns, plus finished ready-to-wear garments: t-shirts, sweatshirts, polos, shirts, shorts, trousers, jeans, dresses, skirts, leggings, jackets, outerwear, socks, underwear, pyjamas, knitwear and hats for men, women, kids and infants.
Italian, English and Turkish. The team follows production and supplier communication in those languages, which is relevant for Italian and European brands working with Turkish mills.

The site describes production follow-up and monitoring rather than in-house inspection with published AQL standards. Agree inspection stages and standards in writing, and consider appointing an independent inspection company for pre-shipment checks if your order value justifies it.
