Our Story

NAKISHE is a luxury brand built on authenticity, artistry, and heritage. Every piece we create—whether a hand-woven Anatolian rug, a bespoke abaya, or an artisanal accessory—carries the spirit of craftsmanship passed down through generations. Founded by Çiğdem and Osman Varlı, NAKISHE was born from a shared passion for art, textiles, and collectible handmade works. Our designs blend timeless Anatolian techniques with contemporary aesthetics, offering elegant and meaningful pieces for those who seek originality beyond the mass market.

With her refined vision shaped in Istanbul’s textile world since 1998, Çiğdem Varlı defines the fashion identity of NAKISHE through her unique style and devotion to artisanal workmanship. Osman Varlı’s deep expertise in hand-woven Anatolian carpets—rooted in his Grand Bazaar experience since 1994—forms the foundation of our home décor collections, built on honesty, natural materials, and enduring quality.

Today, every NAKISHE creation reflects a respect for tradition, transparent craftsmanship, and ethically sourced high-quality materials made to last for generations. At NAKISHE, we bring the timeless beauty of Anatolia to modern living—where art becomes a part of everyday life.
