The woman behind the brand
Every piece in this shop has passed through Rifaa's hands. Born between Barcelona and Istanbul, she curates with a single rule: only what she would keep herself.
I've been looking for a kilim like this for years. The colours are even more beautiful in person — warm, earthy, perfectly imperfect. It anchors the whole room.
I bought the straw tote for a trip to Menorca and it hasn't left my side since. The quality is unlike anything I've found on the high street — you can feel every weave. Already eyeing a second one.
I ordered this as a summer bag and ended up using it all year. It's the kind of thing you don't want to put down — simple, solid, beautiful. Exactly what it promises to be.
HANDCRAFTED WITH INTENTION. WORN WITH EASE.
We curate objects and clothing made by artisans — from the coasts of Catalonia to the workshops of Turkey. Each piece is handpicked by Rifaa, chosen for its craft, its origin, and the hands that made it.
The peştemal has been woven and used in Turkey for generations. Light, soft and easy to carry, it began as an essential part of hammam culture and slowly found its place in everyday life. From bath to beach and home, its simplicity is what makes it special.

A story of roots, craftsmanship and the beauty of ordinary things.
