Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) President Faruque Hassan has called upon LC Waikiki to strengthen collaboration with Bangladeshi suppliers to build long-term business partnership.

Founded in 1988 by three French partners, LC Waikiki became a Turkish brand in 1997. LC Waikiki aims to offer fashion at affordable prices in line with the belief that “everyone deserves to dress well,” and has been the market leader in all clothing categories in Turkey since 2004.
Ömer Öğüt, Overseas Countries Director oc LC Waikiki, was also present at the meeting.
They discussed various trade related issues including current market situation, global trends, LC Waikiki’s plans of expanding business in Bangladesh.
Faruque Hassan highlighted the RMG industry’s emphasis on capacity building and diversification of products, especially non-cotton and high-end segment.
He requested the Turkish brand to explore business opportunities in Bangladesh that will bring mutual benefits.
He assured LC Waikiki of all-out support from BGMEA to expand its suppliers’ base and sourcing volume in Bangladesh.
BGMEA President Faruque Hassan invited them to the Made in Bangladesh Week which will be organized by BGMEA on 12-18 November in Dhaka to promote Bangladesh and the RMG industry.
