Antep Sepeti

What Antep Sepeti does

Antep Sepeti is a Gaziantep, Turkey-based direct-to-consumer retailer founded in 2006 by Cihan Koçer that curates and sells authentic regional Gaziantep specialty products. The catalog spans five categories: traditional copper handcrafts (cezveler, pots, decorative items), mother-of-pearl products, Gaziantep pistachios, gourmet foods (jams, molasses, spices, pepper paste), and traditional Antep İşi handicrafts including kutnu fabric slippers and handwoven wedge espadrilles. Product prices range from approximately ₺250 for small spices to ₺9,000 for premium copper items, with free shipping offered on orders above ₺3,000.

The company operates primarily through its e-commerce storefront at antepsepeti.com, which is built on the myikas.com third-party e-commerce platform infrastructure, supplemented by a single physical retail branch at Gümrük Han in Gaziantep city center. Distribution is domestic Turkey-focused, with international shipping available subject to customs duties borne by the buyer. Revenue is generated exclusively through one-time retail transactions; there is no subscription component, no B2B channel, no marketplace presence, and no third-party reseller network disclosed.

The customer base consists of individual Turkish consumers (and a small international segment) seeking authentic Gaziantep regional products. The business is founder-operated with no external funding, no disclosed headcount, and no marketing channels beyond the website itself. Persistent "Tükendi" (sold out) SKUs indicate inventory is actively managed but constrained, and the absence of any disclosed reinvestment, hiring, or expansion activity suggests the business is being run as a stable lifestyle/specialty retailer rather than a growth-stage venture.
