Cekette is a contemporary label founded by Lal Bilgütay in Istanbul in 2018. The brand’s name is derived from the Turkish word ceket, meaning jacket — a reference to its origins in a limited run of upcycled denim jackets. What began with reworked denim evolved into tailored pieces, and eventually into a full ready-to-wear collection.

Rooted in an instinct to combine, Cekette brings together unexpected materials, textures and silhouettes, reworking denim through a tailoring lens and treating it as a medium rather than a category. Denim becomes a tool to reshape form, structure and silhouette.

Defined by a focus on fabric, cut and detail, Cekette proposes a modern, refined wardrobe. Strong silhouettes, subtle contrasts and a sense of controlled experimentation shape the collections. Signature pieces like the double-waisted pants reflect this balance between structure and disruption.

Today, Cekette operates exclusively online, reaching a global audience through its own platform as well as selected retailers including Ounass, Printemps and Nuuly.
