We Do Things A Bit Differently Here…

We believe true innovation begins when outdated methods are challenged. Türkiye stands as Europe’s leading textile hub, yet it's wholesale industry has been slow to embrace cross-border digital commerce. That’s where NBG comes in. We're bridging tradition and technology to lead the global transformation of Turkish textile export.

5* Trustpilot Reviews From Boutiques & SME's

This was a good investment. I'm very glad I found Annabel's NBG from my simple Google search results. I learned a ton from this one-hour consulting session with her and realized that I needed better prep and the right direction to tackle this grand journey of starting my first fashion business. Because of this, I see clearly now where to focus on for the next step, which would have been completely missed hadn't I chosen to take this session. I highly recommend her consultation to anyone who wants to start taking action towards building a business of fashion under their ownership.

Does The Vendorlist Include Manufacture's ?

Plus icon

No, the vendor list is not a manufacturer list! The wholesalers on the vendorlist may offer custom designs tailored to your needs; however, they are not manufacturers themselves. If you’re specifically looking for manufacturing services, you can certainly reach out to these wholesalers to inquire if they provide any manufacturing options. That said, we generally recommend contacting manufacturers directly to ensure you get the production capabilities and quality control you require.
