The Journey Begins: Istanbul Collection

Istanbul, Turkey

Oct 2025

Back from Istanbul, hearts full.

While we didn’t find all the organic cotton clothing we were searching for, we did uncover so many beautiful things - soft Turkish Blankets of triple layer cotton gauze, generations-old textile producers with intricate honeycomb towels, flowing silk and wool capes, and vintage kilim handbags. Shop what came home, and take part in the journey as we continue helping you build your natural-fiber wardrobe, piece by piece.

Istanbul feels like the perfect beginning for Global Sourceress.

Turkish cotton is world-renowned for its incredible softness, durability, and quality — the kind of fabric that gets better with age and feels timeless on the skin.

Beyond cotton, Istanbul has been a crossroads of trade and textiles for thousands of years, standing at the very end of the Silk Road. For centuries, merchants and makers have gathered here, bringing treasures, craftsmanship, and stories from across the world.

For me, this isn’t just about sourcing clothing — it’s about stepping into a place with layers of history, culture, and soul. I feel a deep personal connection to Istanbul and can’t wait to wander its markets, discover its treasures, and share those finds with you.

This city, with its blend of East and West, past and present, feels like the most magical place to begin this journey.
