Güngören is a hub for numerous wholesalers specialising in fast-fashion womenswear. For those seeking affordable options with a limited startup budget, this district serves as an ideal launching pad. Consider popular fast-fashion labels such as Fashionova, Prettylittlething, Missguided, and Shein. In Güngören, one can discover similar styles of clothing, with prices beginning as low as $3 for crop tops, $8 for jeans, and $10 for dresses. Additionally, the district is recognised for its suppliers of high-quality gymwear. For individuals interested in entering the athleisurewear market, this location is particularly advantageous, offering sports bras, leggings, tracksuits, hoodies, and more, with prices ranging from $4 to $10. However, it is important to acknowledge that lower-priced products may come with the risk of inferior quality. While finding inexpensive wholesale items can be appealing, one must also consider the potential for customer returns. In my previous discussion on launching a fashion brand, I emphasized the significance of price points and the necessity of providing quality clothing. It is essential to avoid establishing a reputation as a fashion brand that boasts impressive e-commerce visuals but delivers subpar apparel.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Sourcing from Güngören.

Güngören is not characteriSed by poorly designed products; in fact, there are numerous vendors in this area who offer high-quality merchandise. Nevertheless, many vendors can be inconsistent in their offerings, making it essential to thoroughly evaluate each vendor prior to making any purchases. A visit to all suppliers in Güngören typically requires about two days, as it is the smallest wholesale district among the four available. One notable challenge is that most wholesalers in Güngören have limited English proficiency, with only approximately 40% of vendors able to communicate in basic English, while the majority do not speak the language at all. This language barrier may complicate interactions with Güngören wholesalers. To facilitate your purchasing process, it may be beneficial to hire a translator or sourcing agent. I strongly recommend considering a Turkish sourcing agent or utilising Google Translate for assistance. Additionally, Güngören is recognised for its high-quality denim products, with prices starting at $6 for denim jeans and $10 for denim jackets. You can expect to find styles comparable to those of brands such as ASOS, PrettyLittleThing, and Shein.

Modest Fashion Suppliers

For individuals launching modest fashion brands or targeting Muslim clientele, Güngören serves as an excellent wholesale hub for Islamic fashion. This district offers a wide array of products, including stylish long sleeve tunics, maxi dresses, and abayas. In contrast to Merter, the prices for modest apparel are significantly lower, with dresses available from just $10, kaftans starting at $15, and shirts priced as low as $6. Additionally, many vendors provide plus-size modestwear, making this district highly recommended for plus-size fashion brands or boutiques.

Transportation

To reach Güngören, it is necessary to board the T1 tram in the direction of Bağcılar and disembark at Güngören station. The wholesalers are located just a two-minute walk from there, and the same tram line also services the Merter and Laleli wholesale districts. Merter is a mere five-minute journey from Güngören by either car or tram. While walking is an option, it is advisable to refrain from doing so if you are not well-acquainted with the surroundings.
