1800S The Yelkenci story began over a century ago, with skilled hands crafting sails that danced on the wind. This spirit of precision and dedication to craft is woven into the very fabric of our name – Yelkenci, meaning "sailmaker" in Turkish. Today, that legacy lives on in our impeccably tailored garments.
