Turkish Footwear & Accessories Sourcing

Job ID: 40253625

Budget: $10 – $30 USD

I need a reliable, on-the-ground sourcing agent in Turkey who can secure high-quality textiles and clothing, specifically footwear and accessories. My focus is on shoes and boots as well as bags, wallets, belts, and hats—nothing in fabrics or home textiles.

Your role covers the full sourcing cycle: identifying and vetting manufacturers, negotiating prices and minimum order quantities, arranging samples, handling quality checks, and coordinating shipping paperwork so the goods reach my freight forwarder smoothly. Experience with Turkish leather goods, familiarity with key hubs such as Istanbul, Izmir, and Gaziantep, and strong supplier networks are essential. Fluency in both Turkish and English will make communication seamless.

Deliverables
• A vetted list of at least three factories per product category, complete with contact details, certifications, and price sheets
• Photo/video evidence of factory visits or virtual inspections
• Sample coordination and courier tracking numbers
• Final cost breakdown (product, freight, duties) and recommended shipping plan

Acceptance criteria
– All factories must pass a basic compliance check (ISO or equivalent, no recent labor violations)
– Price quotes must be valid for 30 days and clearly state MOQ, lead time, and payment terms
– Samples must match quoted specifications within agreed tolerances

If you already work with trustworthy footwear and accessory suppliers, even better—let’s move quickly to sampling.
