Founded by Emir Yargici in 1978, YARGICI is a retail, wholesale and online fashion company based in Istanbul, Turkey. In addition to their over 90 stores worldwide, Yargici also serves numerous wholesale customers in regions such as Japan, Switzerland, Austria, Russia and the Middle East.

Yargici presents an essential look of sensibility; practical and relaxed shapes embellished with inspirational details. Their fresh and warm style of garments and accessories embody elegant simplicity and comfort. While their colour harmonies speak softly as a reflection of a basic, chic look that is the signature of this young and spirited brand.

With confidence in its strong name and the brand's extensive retail experience, Yargici has been expanding its product line over the past several years to develop accessories in line with its apparel products. Each season integrates an accessories line to complement the garment collection, design themes and styles. In recent years, home furnishing and accessories items have been added under Yargici Homeworks to present an overall lifestyle brand.

Yargici’s success lies in having a young, experienced and dynamic team behind the brand. The design and buying teams regularly travel around the world in order to find inspiration, fabrics and products for the two main collections produced each year. Great care is taken in selecting colour palettes, prints, textures, complementary accessories and home products all of which come together to form the Yargia lifestyle. The design arrangement is supported by a well-equipped team of pattern-makers and cutting units that translate concepts into finely finished garments.

According to Yargici, the company likes to celebrate curiosity. "Because there are more places in the world than we can possibly travel. Because there are more fantasies in our heads than we can imagine, and more feelings in our hearts than can be felt. We celebrate everything and everyone that keeps us curious – curious to find new materials, discover new craftsmanship, and meet new people who become close friends,” the company told Franchising.eu.

“We create and curate inspired pieces from all over the globe so you can experience it in every corner of your life, live every day to the fullest, and continue chasing after the things that keep you curious," they said.
