Life Update: ONE WAY flights to Istanbul

Hello. It’s been a while. As per usual, we underestimated our capacity at the end of the year. Some things fell a part, some things fell together but a looot was accomplished. Then we (all five of us) were sick with multiple viruses (including COVID) for the month of January. Happy New Year.

As I am writing this, we are 3 weeks until we board ONE WAY flights to Istanbul, then hop in an 8 hour shuttle to Bodrum where we plan to live for the next 6 months.

Why? We are on a medical journey seeking a brand new treatment option for our middle child, Derya and want to explore what is available in Europe and Asia.

What does this mean for TOGETHER TEXTILES?

Similarly to our unexpected 6 month stay in Turkey in 2020, we plan to design new collections, continue sampling new products, and evolve current collections while in Turkey. We are grateful for the opportunity to keep a limited selection of collections available for online purchase while we are abroad. Güven’s sister, Fulya and mom, Annecim, have offered to fulfill orders for us while we are away. We haven’t solidified which collections will be available, however, so if you have a preference, LMK. I will be opening a poll on IG this weekend. Be on the lookout :)

Güven relocated our market and show inventory into a more longterm warehouse last week and will relocate our online inventory and packing/shipping office this week.

Have any questions about our travel plans? Comment below or DM on IG @togethertextiles

Hope this message finds you healthy and cozy as always.

Best,

xx Allie

& Güven, Reyla, Derya and Atlas
