Suwen was established in 2003 in Istanbul by an experienced team specialized in manufacturing for globally renowned lingerie brands. After its first sales in department stores in 2005, Suwen opened its first branded store in 2007, marking the start of rapid growth.

According to independent consultancy Deloitte's 2021 sector report, Suwen ranked as Turkey's fastest-growing women's lingerie retail brand based on store expansion.
