A Bag with a Story
Meet Ilayda, a unique handbag crafted from an authentic vintage Anatolian kilim seat cushion (sedir minderi).
Once part of a traditional Turkish home, this beautifully woven textile has been given a second life as a timeless accessory. Its intricate geometric patterns and rich, earthy colours reflect the artistry and cultural heritage of Anatolia.
Finished with elegant natural bamboo handles, Defne brings together traditional craftsmanship and contemporary style.
By repurposing vintage textiles, each bag celebrates sustainability, individuality, and the beauty of slow fashion.
Each piece is one of a kind, carrying its own history, character, and story.
From Anatolian heritage to your everyday wardrobe, a little piece of history, reimagined.
Dimensions: 30H x 30L cm
Materials & Craftsmanship
All our bags are individually handmade, one by one, using 100% handwoven vintage textiles that have been carefully repurposed into new designs.
As we exclusively use authentic vintage materials, natural variations in colour, texture, weave, and signs of previous use may be present. These are normal characteristics of vintage textiles and should not be considered defects.
Due to the handmade nature and age of the materials, our bags may not have the uniform or flawless finish of factory-produced items.
All bags are fully lined on the inside to provide additional structure, protection, and durability.
