Story

Turkey suffered its strongest earthquake since 1939 in Feb 2023. The devastation is not over, and the people still suffer from a lack of food, water, and housing. ALL profits from the sale of Obakki’s Turkish products are being returned to our artisan community to help them rebuild. In addition, our foundation can receive direct donations here: Earthquake Relief

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.

Meet Our Artisan Partner

Anatolia, Turkey

Hatay Weavers

For five generations, our artisan partners in Turkey have woven sustainable textiles on century-old looms in Anatolia. Led by Ali, and designed by Mizar & Alcor, the family hand-weaves fabrics from certified organic cotton and linen, warping the yarns and tying the tassels by hand. These lightweight textiles are eco-friendly, requiring less energy to wash, and are crafted using materials that meet the strict safety standards of Standard 100 Oeko-Tex.

In February 2023, devastating earthquakes struck Southern Turkey, destroying over 500,000 buildings. Many artisans and their families tragically lost their lives, while others were left homeless. The weaving studio was severely damaged, with most looms and stock buried beneath the rubble. Despite this immense loss, the artisans showed remarkable resilience, salvaging some century-old looms and beginning the rebuilding process.

Obakki and Mizar & Alcor stepped in to provide essential support, including emergency housing, food security, and assistance with restoring the workshop. Revitalizing the textile sector is vital for the community’s economic recovery, and our collective efforts are helping over 60 families rebuild their livelihoods. By purchasing a towel or robe, you are directly supporting the artisans on their journey to restore their lives and preserve their craft.
