Ramsey is a Turkish clothing retailer, designer, manufacturer and marketing enterprise founded by Remzi Gür[1][2][3] and owned by Gürmen Group, which also operates the KİP brand. Ramsey retails its own clothing under its house brand in its boutiques, but also 40% of Ramsey's production is for other, foreign, brands.[4]
