Défier is an Attitude. That’s why we don’t produce at the expense of others.
Since our very first drop, we’ve been working with a production partner who not only shares our vision but brings it to life. The family-run company in the heart of Istanbul combines decades of craftsmanship with modern approaches to sustainable and high-quality streetwear.
Alongside the use of Oeko-Tex-certified materials and strict compliance with REACH standards, they place a strong focus on a respectful work environment and genuine appreciation for their employees – something we’ve experienced firsthand on site, reminding us time and again why we love working with this partner.
Their care, reliability, and values are unmatched, allowing us to create pieces we can stand behind with full conviction.

Made in the heart of Istanbul.
Turkey is globally renowned for its excellent textile production, built on extensive expertise and the highest manufacturing standards. As an EU accession candidate and member of the customs union, its factories are closely tied to EU regulations. This ensures high standards in environmental and social responsibility that meet our requirements.
Thanks to the geographical proximity, we also benefit from short supply chains – saving time and reducing CO₂ emissions. The regional availability of high-quality cotton makes Turkey an indispensable partner. With short procurement routes and the premium quality of Turkish cotton, every product becomes a statement of excellence.
Our decision to produce in Turkey is deliberate. And when we collaborate on selected products with experts from other countries, we choose our partners just as carefully – ensuring they meet our standards for quality, working conditions, and sustainability.
