About Us

We're TEXTILE CULTURES , a creative duo that loves to create beautiful things.

We are Said and Mio, co-founders of the luxury brand TEXTILE CULTURES , based in Istanbul and Tokyo. We started our journey together sharing a common passion - textiles.  We produce high quality, hand-crafted textiles and collect existing textiles from different time periods for versatile usage.  Personally, we find joy in mixing and matching those textiles to create unique and original items.  We travel the world looking for new treasures and inspiration and apply this to the designs and creations brought to life in our atelier in Istanbul. We take pride in supporting the traditions of textile weaving and embroidery by providing a sustainable livelihood for skilled artisans. We also collaborate with the Mehmet Cetinkaya Gallery, a prominent dealer of Islamic textile art. Our relationship with this renowned gallery allows us to offer some of the rarest and highest quality pieces with confidence.  We are passionate about what we do and the luxury it creates. For us, luxury means being surrounded by authentic, hand-crafted and affordable comforts that bring pleasure into your space. We welcome you to explore the tactile world with which we have fallen in love.
