Introduction:

Founded by Annabel John — former CEO of Modestwist, Forbes-featured entrepreneur, and recipient of multiple global startup accolades including Alibaba’s Top 36 Global Startups and the Meta x NatWest Startup Competition  NBG was created to solve a critical industry challenge: the lack of accessible, reliable pathways for fashion startups and boutique brands to connect with Turkey’s world-class textile suppliers.

Despite Turkey’s reputation as a global textile powerhouse, many of its top vendors remain offline and difficult to access. NBG is changing that. We’ve built a centralized, easy-to-use platform that connects global fashion brands to over 700+ verified Turkish manufacturers, spanning womenswear, menswear, kidswear, modest fashion, and occasionwear.

NBG is now the leading digital database for Turkish textiles, trusted by a global community of 50,000+ importers. By building cutting-edge digital infrastructure, we streamline cross-border sourcing for:

E-commerce startups
Independent boutiques
Established fashion retailers

Our team brings over 17 years of industry experience, consistently driving growth across key global markets including the USA, Europe, Africa, and Asia.

Whether you're an emerging brand or an established label, NBG is your bridge to Turkey’s best textile suppliers.

What Problems Did Memberstack Help You Solve & How:

Before using Memberstack, our platform was built on WordPress  and it quickly became clear that it wasn’t suited for what we were building. The performance was slow, the user experience was clunky, and customising access to our vendor database was nearly impossible without heavy plugins or ongoing dev work. Would have cost us thousands and months to build. Everyone we met even developers had mentioned everyone is using memberstack so why are we still wasting money building something that you can easily integrate and have up and running the same day!

We then moved to Webflow  and while it gave us the design control we needed, Webflow alone couldn’t handle secure user logins, gated content, or membership tiers.

That’s where Memberstack changed everything.

With Memberstack, we were finally able to:

Securely gate our supplier database
Offer different membership levels
Onboard global fashion startups in seconds
And do all of this without touching complex code
What would’ve taken us 6 months to build manually, we completed in a few weeks using Webflow + Memberstack.

Now, we run the leading database for Turkish textile exports, giving fashion startups instant access to over 700 verified suppliers  covering kidswear, womenswear, menswear, modest fashion, and occasionwear  with zero middlemen or travel needed.

Memberstack helped us turn a fragmented, offline industry into a global, digital-first platform, our new updated website is ready to onboard and transfer our new clients!

What Are Your Favorite Things About Memberstack & Why?

At NBG, we operate the leading database for Turkish textile export, connecting fashion startups, boutique brands, and retailers directly to over 700 verified, on-the-ground Turkish wholesalers  many of whom have never had a digital presence before.

Memberstack plays a key role in powering this access.

With just a quick sign-up, global fashion businesses can instantly explore a curated network of vendors across kidswear, menswear, womenswear, modest fashion, and occasionwear  without ever needing to travel to Turkey or rely on expensive intermediaries.

Thanks to Memberstack, we offer tiered access to our database, enabling startups and established brands alike to find the right suppliers at the right scale  whether they're testing a new product line or expanding into new markets.

This integration allows us to digitize and streamline the entire Turkish sourcing process, unlocking one of the world’s strongest textile industries for the digital age.

We love Memberstack because it gives us the flexibility, control, and scalability to deliver on our mission: making Turkish manufacturing, export and trade more accessible, transparent, and efficient than ever before. Something that has never been done before.
