About Us
We founded Anatolisse to celebrate and share the beauty of Anatolian heritage through timeless design. As natives of Türkiye now based in the Netherlands, we—Zeynep and Hazar—grew up surrounded by the intricate motifs that have been a part of Anatolian culture for centuries. These designs, each with their own story and symbolism, captured our hearts from a young age. Yet, we were struck by how few people outside our homeland knew of their beauty and significance.
With Anatolisse, we aim to reintroduce these ancient motifs to the world, giving them new life in contemporary, artful pieces. Each design in our collection isn’t just an accessory; it’s a bridge to the past, a piece of cultural heritage that carries the spirit and stories of Anatolia. We invite you to discover the rich meanings and artistry behind each piece, bringing the soul of Anatolia into your own story.
Designs
Our designs are deeply inspired by the rich cultural heritage of Anatolia. We reimagine timeless motifs that have been cherished for centuries, bringing them to life in modern forms.
In our debut collection, we've reinterpreted iconic symbols found in traditional Kilims, including the Ram’s Horn, Hands-on-Hips, Muska, and the Tree of Life. Each motif holds a unique story and meaning, and we invite you to explore their significance on our product pages.
As we look to future collections, we are committed to continuing our journey through Anatolia's artistry, uncovering and celebrating the stories woven into its timeless motifs.
Conscious Creation
All our collections are crafted with a commitment to eco-friendly and ethical practices, using sustainable materials. Our T-shirts are made from 100% organic cotton and are ethically produced in India, certified by Fair Wear. For our sweatshirt collection, we’ve used a blend of 85% organic cotton and 15% recycled polyester. Final touches, including embroidery, are completed in the Netherlands to bring our designs to life.
In our latest collection, Jewelry, our necklaces are designed in the Netherlands and handcrafted in Turkiye. Each piece is made with 14-karat gold, containing 58.33% pure gold, skillfully alloyed with other metals. When sourcing materials for our jewelry, we prioritize sustainable and socially responsible practices, ensuring that every element aligns with our values of quality and care for the planet.
