Çamkalabak Journey - Northern Aegean
Yörüks of Western Anatolia, a society that transitioned from a nomadic to a settled lifestyle, are an isolated community that continues to preserve their traditions tied to their culture, which thrives through weaving, small livestock farming, and the seasonal collection of harvestable goods.
They have a colorful style of dress, where they can tell whether someone is married or single by their clothing and the way their bangs are cut. Living in the mountain peaks, they use the "ehram" (a traditional shawl) tied around their waists, also utilizing it to carry their children. The shape, form, and interpretation of the evil eye bead, along with its meaning in the past, have been subjects of research.
We reinterpret the patterns, colors, and forms of the Yörük in an eclectic contemporary perspective, blending traditional elements with modern design. This innovative approach harmonizes the richness of the past with today’s aesthetics, offering a unique story in each piece. The vibrant colors and dynamic patterns of Yörük culture find their distinctive expression in our collections.
