Ethical manaufacturers in Turkey

Posted on March 1, 2010 at 11:16 0 Comments 0 Likes

Hi All!

I am looking for Ethical manufacturers in Turkey for Jersey casual wear and also Denims/ Jeans/ Shorts. The brand is 100% ECO friendly street wear for the extreme sports enthusiast and we have perfected a recycled cotton/ Polyester (made from recycled plastic water bottles). We will be supplying fabric but need professional factories that are able to handle our production requirements.

Does anyone have any suitable contacts?
