Transparency & Accountability
Anyone anywhere can find out how, where, by whom and under what conditions their clothing is made.
“I can’t say working in the fashion industry is easy but I love it because this industry challenges me every day. Producing beautiful items makes me feel happy, productive, and clever in a way I never felt before starting to work.”
- Yeliz
Equal value on financial growth, human wellbeing and environmental sustainability
I have been working since I was 16 so it’s been almost 20 years in the fashion industry. As an uneducated woman, working gave me the chance to become independent. I earn my own money, I’m able to take care of myself and have the respect of my family and friends. Most importantly, I respect myself.

Honoring Artisans, Respecting Culture and Heritage
I grew up in the fashion industry, but I didn’t work until this year. Working in this industry helped me to understand a lot of things better. It is important that we all share our visions under an international brand like ELSE. We all respect different point of views, cultures and we can all get a chance to show this to the world.

Louder Voice to Speak up for Better Conditions
The conditions of the fashion industry in Turkey are not bad. We don’t work incredibly long hours, and when we do, we are paid for that time. However, we are aware that this isn’t the situation for all around the world. Women, who have better conditions should speak up for others and share their stories to inspire, to show how the conditions should be.
