New Venues: The Launch of GreenApple Production Studios via Aegean Apparel and RNP Tees
Aegean Apparel Incorporated, established in 1991, is a heavy hitter in the wholesale sleepwear industry. Focused on producing quality products out of their family owned factories in Denizli, Turkey, this company has kept a keen eye on doing things the right way, not the cheap way. That might be why it has grown from a tiny textile shop to a multi million dollar bathrobe and sleepwear powerhouse in the nearly 20 years since conception. Its client range spans from close out stores like T.K. Maxx and Marshalls to the epitome of department store couture, like Nordstrom, Sak’s 5th Avenue, and Neiman Marcus.
It’s no question that the backlash of a poor economy can crush any business, and this had been proven true for a lot of Aegean’s competitors. “Everyone is feeling the aftershock” said Mehmet Panayirci, President and Founder of the company. “We knew that the best way to pull through this was to get in touch with our customer and their needs.”
It was that idea alone that birthed GreenApple Production Studios. By merging Aegean Apparel’s signature line of bathrobes, pajamas, shower wraps, and beach and bath towels with their sister line of quirky and original printed tee shirts and totes under the name RNP Tees, Aegean Apparel Inc. has a established a tight grip on today’s recession. Though many of Aegean’s styles can retail anywhere from $59.99 to $129.99, this website provides about 100 of their best selling pieces for a price point of between $39.99 and $89.99.
