Hand Dexterity
Today, mechanization that has developed due to technology has caused the extinction of many handicrafts.
We set out to ensure that these values are passed on to future generations.
When we look at the aesthetic, quality, hand embroidery made by our grandmothers, we sigh and say what kind of “hand labor”. Because art is the ability to reflect one's feelings and thoughts in this way through any means. First of all, they are the ones who know this handicraft the best.
Knitting has always been among the hobbies that every woman has engaged in at some point in her life. Knitting has a history dating back to ancient times. Although the knitted models have changed depending on fashion, the same simple tools have been used in the art of knitting. It is true that the magnificence of the work that is produced as a result of the labor required makes one forget this fatigue and turns into a pleasure.
This reality causes new ideas to emerge and creative thoughts to emerge.
We, as a team, saw that knitted belts and sashes were indispensable complementary accessories in old Turkish clothing and we wanted to bring them to the present day.
In ancient Turks, men used belts and women used belts. These belts were simple and elegant, but they differed in the way they were tied.
Over time, this complementary role of the belt in clothing has survived to the present day. So much so that;
A beautiful belt can take your outfit to a whole new level of fashion. Belts can be multipurpose, but finding the right belt is more difficult than finding the perfect shoes. With this understanding, from another point of view, art is to reveal the beauty that exists in nature. We said let's continue on the road with straw paper rope and we determined our raw material. No matter how difficult it was to make, the products that emerged were very pleasing. Our KATUN belts consisting of 100% leather, handmade and natural wicker were produced with 100% leather, handmade and natural wicker with its aesthetic, quality and minimal stance with the power of combining knitting and leather by our leather masters who add life to our knitting.
