LC Waikiki (stylised LCW) is a Turkish ready-to-wear clothing and lifestyle retailer headquartered in Istanbul. The brand was founded in France in 1988 and became Turkish-owned in 1997 after acquisition by Tema Tekstil (Taha Group). The name combines LC for the French phrase Les Copains (“friends”) with “Waikiki,” referencing the beach in Hawaiʻi.
