About
We turn ideas into textile.
Sorkunlu is a textile design and production partner, developing printed fabrics, textile products and complete collections for brands.
The short version
Design and production, parts of one process.
Production, to us, is not simply moving a print onto cloth. A project is finished when the right ground has been chosen, the artwork developed for its end use, the colours read correctly, the sample confirmed and the finished product has reached the quality the brand was aiming for.
So design, fabric, print, sampling and product development are not separate stages here — they are parts of the same project. We think of ourselves less as a manufacturer than as a development partner present from the first idea through to a commercial product.
Company and facility
From the design studio to the factory floor, one project discipline.

People
Design, technical, production and project teams.
Reactive and pigment routes are chosen against what the product needs, across home textiles, fashion fabrics, shirting, private label and project work. The approach is to carry the print, colour and hand approved at sampling into commercial production without drift.
A project is managed across fabric selection, technical preparation, sampling, quality control and finished-product detail — not only at the print stage. That is what keeps the creative idea and the commercial run in the same conversation.

Developing a textile collection takes a long chain of connected decisions. We keep as many of them as possible under one roof.
Instead of coordinating between suppliers who have never spoken to each other, you work with one team that understands the whole project. Every interface is a place where intent gets a little more diluted; we exist to remove them.
Our approach
Creative freedom. Production discipline.
We believe creativity has to be manufacturable. A print should not just look good on screen — it has to read correctly on cloth, sit well on the product's dimensions, repeat, hold its colour through production and make commercial sense.
Sorkunlu's design approach is where that creative freedom meets production discipline.
The Sorkunlu approach
Five things that define us.
01
Creative thinking
The design and textile knowledge to develop a customer's idea further.
02
Technical knowledge
Getting the relationship between fabric, print and product right.
03
Flexibility
Adapting to the project from sampling and development through to commercial production.
04
Consistency
Making sure the approved design carries the same quality through production.
05
Collaboration
Building a long-term development partnership rather than a customer–supplier relationship.
People
The work is done by people who know cloth.
Designers who know what a repeat will do across a duvet seam. Technicians who can explain why a colour lifts on sateen and drops on twill. Project managers who ask about your laundry regime before they ask about your logo.
That knowledge is the actual product. Everything else — printing, finishing, making-up — is how it gets delivered.
For international brands
Every market expects something different.
What a table linen collection needs is not what a fashion fabric needs. An outdoor project and a children's collection are developed against different criteria again.
So each project is judged inside its own end use, target market and commercial requirements. Rather than offering a standard catalogue, we develop to the brief — with the briefing, approval and documentation discipline international buyers expect.
How it starts
A good project rarely starts with a finished print.
Sometimes it starts with a single reference image. Sometimes a colour palette. Sometimes an idea for a season. Sometimes only the sentence “we want to develop a new collection in this product group.”
You do not have to arrive with a production-ready file. Our job is to turn that first idea into textile. We shape the rest together.
Responsibility
Our approach to materials, chemistry, traceability and certification is written out plainly — including where the data does not exist yet. Claims are made only where they can be documented.
