In early 2021, with the end of the pandemic still out of sight, our team put their heads together to find unique ways to invest in the people of our homeland during such unprecedented times.

We knew that there would be many rural communities out of work, many families striving to care and provide while unable to venture outside of the home. So as a part of our dedication to supporting Turkish artisans, our production manager set off with a mission and uncovered a wonderful initiative that both unifies women in need and celebrates another textile tradition of Turkey!

We are so honored to partner with the Women's Co-operative Of Nevrus Village, established with the incredible objective to not only provide income for local women who are unable to work outside of the home, but also to encourage socialization and connection through community.

When we decided to re-imagine the traditional Turkish 'Patik' like the ones our Anneanne and Teyze (grandma and auntie) used to knit for us, we knew there couldn't be a better place to re-create these nostalgic pieces than in the homes of other Anneannes and Teyzes. ♥️
