GAINTART is a luxury handcrafted women's fashion brand from Turkey, reaching the world. Our brand comes to life through unique hand-knitted and crocheted pieces created by economically disadvantaged women working from their homes. Each piece brings together the elegance of traditional Turkish craftsmanship with modern design.
Founder Esen Doruk Celik became the first entrepreneur to introduce the concept of giant yarn to Turkey in 2014. What began with giant yarns sourced from Ukraine evolved over time into handcrafted women's fashion. Our collections, spanning kimonos, dresses, skirts, and beachwear, have been showcased from the New York Magic Fair to Istanbul's most prestigious boutiques.
GAINTART is not just a brand — it is a women's solidarity network. Women working from their homes knit samples using the models, colors, and yarns selected by Esen; after feedback, series production takes place. This system provides women with economic independence while giving each piece a unique story.
Our mission is to bring handmade luxury fashion to the world and tell a woman's story in every stitch.
