Ever since I knew her,my mother had been knitting! She tells me that she probably had been knitting her whole life :)
One day during the pandemic, I wanted her to recreate a sweater Harry Styles had worn and the result was amazing! I loved it,all my friends loved it on me, it was a great success amongst everyone we knew! For a while,my mom knit crochet garments for people we knew closely,as a gift or just sometimes just because they wanted her to. After seeing all the attention the infamous Harry Styles sweater got from our closest ones, I decided that we should see if there would be any other people interested in what my mom knitted, to our suprise, the sweater was a hit! It got much more attention than we ever thought it would and from then, I started encouraging my mother to make her own designs. She was hesitant at first but her designs got worn by the most prestigeous known-personas of Turkey,got featured from enviromentally sustainable brands and had grand shoutouts! Thanks to all the attention from Turkey,we are here now,doing what we love and taking a huge step for us! We thank every single one of you for making this possible and making both my mom and my dreams come true. Your impact is truly magical!!
Our most important goal for us, is to create a piece of art you love wearing, it makes you happy every time you see and brings in everything nice! Your happiness truly is our happiness and we love reading your reviews and hearing about all the amazingness you tell us!!
We started this journey with only my mom knitting for our shop,and we are contiuning it through working with many talented crochet makers, helping them learn even more about knitting and crocheting as well as securing them financially and in more ways, my mom still goes through every single order, making sure everything is perfect! Our beloved crochet makers we work with, have also achieved many of their dreams thanks to your support, like getting an apartment and paying tutions!
We make sure to be aware of our environmental impact,that’s why we always use every single yarn in many projects of us, the leftover yarns get used in unique designs my mom thought for exactly them! We use minimal amount of plastic while packaging and shipping while also using biodegradable/recycled paper for gift messages or any message you want included in your order! (And the messages are hand-written for the geniune,heart-felt vibe we take pride in for our shop!)
We still have so much to improve, and we want to improve, we are doing our best to get there! We are aware of our product pictures not being the best of the best but unfortunately we don’t have professional help available for that area,so we’re doing our best trying to capture our products as accurate as possible, as much as we can!
Thank you for everything, for supporting local makers, for loving my mom’s dear designs and for looking out for the environment, you are making all of these happen!🪄
Much,Much love, take care! 🌸💗🌟
