The textures, colors, smells, spaces, tastes, human connections were electric from this Istanbul collaboration with 3 fellow female entrepreneurs.

Yesterday, my personal trainer (and close friend), Digba invited Güven, the kids, and I to seek wild flamingos that have recently arrived from Southern Africa to hang out and feed during the winter.  I actually didn’t really believe her but of course said yes to see what in the world she’s talking about.

A beautiful collaboration of friendship, love, and artistic vision dreamed and actualized this photoshoot for our Fall 2022 Lookbook featuring our newest Turkish Cotton Bathrobe: A Natural State.

We spent the summer on the Aegean and launched our newest robe collection: Kiss the Skin. It is designed to be a daily reminder to care for yourself luxuriously.

Whether you are preparing to go away to school this fall, or maybe you took a new traveling nurse assignment: making your new temporary home homey is important for a smooth and quicker transition.

Good news. It’s never too late to become one. I know we all have that friend or family member who says that the robe life chose them, and that could be true. But it is also true that you could choose to live that robe life, too.

If you’re here reading this blog, it probably isn’t your first time hearing about Turkish Towels. But you probably haven’t heard of these unconventional uses - I consider them my mom hacks!

I just know that you know someone (probably yourself?) that deserves something special while supporting small business. Here’s my Top 5 Favorite Things of 2022 (so far).

Connecting with our Together Textiles community has always been one of my favorite things about our small biz. In person is preferable, but virtual will continue to play an important role as we travel back and forth from Turkey to the US.

We take photographs of happy times to store for later but the hard times take up a lot of mental storage. Traveling to the other side of the world with 3 kids under 5 years old during a pandemic isn’t easy. But once we rounded the corner of the last mountain obstructing our view of the sea, I felt the calm (My 2022 Word!) I’ve been seeking.

I have great news: It’s never too late to become a robe person.

I am a very different person than I was in that photo working for JPMorgan. And my experience has lead me here. I have studied about the tradition, culture, and craftsmanship of our small business for the past 5 years and I’m thrilled to shift my focus to explore where we are taking it next.

We are relocating to Turkey to design our newest Turkish cotton robes and Turkish Towels! What does this mean for TOGETHER TEXTILES?

Currently raising 3 kids under 4 while growing a small business has been a whirlwind.

In Feb 2017, after losing both our jobs and our first born in a 3 month span, we started a passion project continuing Güven’s family business (in Turkey) and called it TOGETHER TEXTILES.
