Mavi was founded in 1991 by Sait Akarlilar and his daughter Elif and his son Ersin, in Istanbul, Turkey. The brand was founded under the umbrella of the parent company, Erak Denim, which Sait Akarlilar founded in 1960, at the age of 20.

The company manufactures jeans for both women and men, targeting a younger age group. Besides jeans and pants, it also makes jackets, shirts, and shorts.

Trivia

Mavi is the Turkish word for blue.
In 1952, the brand's founder, Sait Akarlilar, apprenticed at a garment shop in Istanbul, which was located at house number 34. Later, he acquired that shop and continued to use 34 as his lucky number.
