The recent earthquakes in Turkey and Syria have devastated the people of both nations, as well as major fashion brands, many of whom have attempted to expand their supply chains into Turkey. Over 500 clothing manufacturers are located in the seismic zone, producing clothing for various high-profile clothing companies such as Levi Strauss, Mango, Hugo Boss, and Zara. According to the EBRD, the accident might cost Turkey 1% of its GDP. According to the Ekonomi Daily, hundreds of textile plants in Kahramanmaras have shut down, and it might take up to six months to restore production.
