Daylight Textile

What Daylight Textile does

Daylight Textile is a privately held woven fabric manufacturer established in Istanbul, Türkiye in 2002, operating from a single site in the Esenler district (Giyimkent textile complex). The company produces woven fabrics across seven categories — Linen & Mixtures, Polyester Viskon, Rotation & Digital Print, Seersucker, Tencel & Mixtures, Tweed, and Cotton & Mixtures — using cotton, lyocell (Tencel), linen, polyester/viscose fibers, and blends. Its offering targets women's, men's, and children's apparel, with a stated emphasis on sustainability and responsible use of natural resources, supplemented by a dedicated DAYLIGHT PRINT service for rotation and digital printing on customer fabrics.

The company operates a B2B go-to-market, selling directly to fashion brands and garment manufacturers via personalized relationships and quote-based pricing, supplemented by participation in international trade fairs such as The London Textile Fair and München Fabric Start. With a workforce of approximately 11 employees and no disclosed external funding, ownership, or named enterprise customers, Daylight Textile functions as a small, owner-operated textile converter within the Turkish apparel supply chain. Its core differentiators per its own positioning are an experienced team, design responsiveness, and a sustainability narrative — though no specific certifications or third-party validation of those claims appear in the source material.
