Production

As a brand we make sure to make the most of Istanbul's deep rooted history of production and craftsmanship by working with workshops and artisans. The cushions are handmade in Beyoğlu, while the photography is printed with one of the most respected specialised printers of the city. Our peshtemals and throws are woven in Denizli, a region synonymous with cotton weaving, where the local women finish the ends of our peshtemals by hand.
