About Us
About Us
The story of our brand began in 1950 with two separate companies founded by brothers Mois and Yasef Kariyo. In this period when industrialization was limited in our country, the joining of two entrepreneurial brothers under one roof was an important turning point for all of us. Our brand, which took the name of Teacher Socks in 1970, continued to develop with our first production facility established in Bayrampaşa, Istanbul a year later. Changing our brand name to Teacher Socks was based on the fact that teachers generally preferred thin women's socks in Turkey at that time.
When we came to the 1980s, Sami Kariyo, the second generation representative of the family, moved to the wheelhouse of our brand. Our brand, which also focuses on the needs of urban women, further reinforced its production approach that attaches importance to color, pattern, variety and quality. Thus, on the one hand, we strengthened our position in the market, on the other hand, we reached the final stage of the branding process in 1984 and we took the name Penti.
Our Brands
At Penti, we renew our collections in line with the pace of change in fashion trends. Penti has completely different collections for women, men and youth. Ma Vie Privée, Penti Young and Penti Men, who have grown up with the brand, are aimed at more adult women, men, and younger consumers.
Our goal now is to further strengthen our position in the socks market, which we are the clear leader of, and to maintain our leadership in underwear and swimwear retailing as well as socks. To be a global brand originating in Turkey and to be the 'lovebrand' of women abroad as well as in Turkey.
