About Us


Our journey, which began in the 1900s with the peddling profession—from which we also derive our surname—and fabric trading in Antalya, has transformed into a family tradition over the years. This dedication, passed down from generation to generation since those early days, has enabled us to become a brand that is recognized and trusted in every corner of Antalya today.

In the beginning, we started by delivering the fabrics people needed even to the most remote villages of Antalya. Over time, we became more than just a business; we evolved into a brand that has a place in everyone's life, one where everyone shares a memory of our products, from clothing to home textiles, in some corner of their home. Thanks to the warmth and trust that come to mind when "Çerçiler Kumaş" is mentioned, we now have the joy of adding value from Antalya to businesses and organizations across Turkey. We continue to inspire everyone, from amateur home sewers to professional designers.

We don't just sell fabric; every piece we touch carries a story, a tradition. We will continue to uphold our slogan, "A fabric tradition from generation to generation," which we have maintained for years, as a business where new generations can find solutions for every fabric they seek, and more importantly, where we can add value to their projects with our knowledge and experience.

Our History

1900'lü Yıllar Antalya Kaleiçi Seyyar Kumaşçı

Early 1900s

The First Peddler

The roots of our commercial history date back to the years when our grandfather, 'Naneci Dede' (Grandpa Peppermint) Mehmet Çerçiler, sold salep and peppermint water on the streets of Antalya, carrying a copper pitcher on his back. Thanks to the recognition he gained in this profession, families in Antalya would knock on his door when naming their children. Later, when he began selling dry goods at the stall he opened, he became a symbol of commerce and trust. This mobile and honest approach to trade formed the foundation of the "Çerçiler" surname and brand.

Early Textile Retailing

Hasan Çerçiler became the second generation to continue his father’s tradition of itinerant peddling. He began a new era of textile-based peddling by selling printed cotton, flannel, and cambric fabrics, purchased with coupons from Sümerbank, to villagers. Loading bales of fabric onto horses, he traveled with his son to every village from Serik to Karaöz. Payments were not accepted solely in cash but through a barter system involving products such as sesame, wheat, goats, oil, and hides, ensuring that fabric reached every household. Over these years, the name Çerçiler became more than just a business; it became synonymous with finding solutions in times of hardship and sharing in the villagers' troubles.

First Shop

In 1944, the first shop was opened across from the Ayanağa Mosque, opposite the location where Topçu Kebap stands today. This store, rented from the foundations, was the first place where the Çerçiler family transitioned from itinerant peddling to fixed-site trade. Advances were given to farmers who could not afford seed money, with payments collected after the harvest. In particular, the red-striped cotton and silk blend fabric known as “çitari” was an essential part of wedding shopping. In line with demand, the shop worked with “üçetek” tailors, preparing custom orders embroidered with gold thread. During this period, silk and gold-embroidered “meydani” fabrics began to adorn the Çerçiler storefront. Thus, a place was born that the people of Antalya could trust for all their fabric needs and where they could find everything they were looking for.

Initial Wholesale Sales

In 1962, the Çerçiler brand moved to its new location in Kışla Han. The economic activity that began following the National Protection Law played a major role in the background of this transition. During this period, the family made a significant breakthrough not only in retail but also in wholesale fabric sales. Especially with Mensucat Santral products, essential needs such as flannelette, printed cotton, cambric, and bed linen fabrics were supplied to both the public and small tradespeople. Kışla Han was not just a workplace but a trade ecosystem. By positioning itself within this vibrancy, Çerçiler further solidified its standing through both its product variety and the bond it established with the neighborhood. This was the era when the name Çerçiler became a reliable brand not only for villages but also for city merchants.

Transition to Modern Fabrics

Haluk Çerçiler began learning the fabric business by working alongside his father, Ahmet Çerçiler, at the shop on 2nd İnönü Street (now 1st Street). However, he believed that this business should not be limited to classic fabrics alone. Shortly after, he opened his own store on the same street. Thus, father and son began to continue their journey in solidarity, but with different visions. This period was when the innovative spirit of the Çerçiler brand began to emerge. By modernizing the perspective on fabrics, Haluk Çerçiler brought fabric catalogs, types, and patterns from abroad to Antalya and introduced them. With this move, he became the first person to bring the quality and style of Italian and French fabrics to the Antalya market. Çerçiler Fabrics was now turning into a destination where fashion-oriented fabrics were showcased, catering to customers with refined taste. This step was the first bold move of a brand transforming without breaking from tradition, reaching from local to global.

A Tradition Moved to Government Street

In 2000, Haluk Çerçiler, together with his father Ahmet Çerçiler, opened the doors of their new four-story store on Hükümet Street. This store was not only a physical expansion but also the greatest step in the institutionalization process of the Çerçiler brand. During this period, Çerçiler Fabrics continued to bring different textures, trends, and styles from many countries abroad to Antalya. Thanks to this global approach, Çerçiler stores began to attract not only those in need of basic fabrics but also professional clients seeking aesthetics and quality. Over the years, the store has offered: specialized fancy fabrics for five-star hotels in Antalya, flamboyant and striking fabrics for events and stage costumes, unique and impressive textures required by the art community from theater and ballet to cinema and concert stages, and innovative textures to inspire fashion designers. Today, Çerçiler Fabrics is not just a business that sells fabric; it is “a brand that tells the story of fabric.” Without forgetting its roots and by renewing itself with every generation, it maintains its privileged place in the commercial and cultural memory of Antalya.
