Story

Turkey suffered its strongest earthquake since 1939 in Feb 2023. The devastation was tragic, and the people in these communities suffered from a lack of food, water, and housing. Obakki stepped up and was able to contribute to our artisans in this region, and for the past two years we donated profits from the sale of these products, helping to rebuild lives, artisan workshops, and dignity.

There is nothing like stepping from the bath – or from the ocean, lake, or pool – and wrapping yourself in Turkish comfort.

Our Beach & Bath textiles are handwoven on the Turquoise Coast of Turkey by local artisans who remain faithful to their artisanal skills – skills they inherited through the teachings of ancestral tradition. Combining contemporary design inspired by Mediterranean and African cultures, these artisans engage in ethical production using sustainable materials to support local economies. This is a product that not only looks good, but it feels good – in more ways than one.

Hatay Weavers

The Hatay Weavers carry forward a five-generation tradition of textile making on century-old looms, creating organic cotton and linen pieces through slow and intentional craft. Led by Ali and designed in collaboration with Mizar and Alcor, the family hand-warps each yarn and ties every tassel, producing textiles that reflect both heritage and thoughtful design. Their work is rooted in sustainable practice, using materials that meet strict safety standards and require minimal energy to care for.

When the 2023 earthquakes devastated their region, destroying homes and their studio, the artisans chose to rebuild their lives through their craft. Obakki and the Obakki Foundation partnered with Mizar and Alcor to provide emergency relief, followed by ongoing support to help restore the workshop and stabilize the community’s livelihood. Their textiles now carry the strength of this resilience, honouring both tradition and renewal.
