Despite the lockdown our looms are weaving in full force. Here is one our oldest loom made locally in Kaimakli. The original owners would have been quite proud to see that their looms are still going strong.
A variety of floor cushions are now available to shop online.
This handwoven piece is inspired by Turkish traditional textile designs with vibrant colours that brighten up any room.
