Discover the natural elegance of Şile bezi, a traditional Turkish cotton fabric handwoven by women artisans from a local cooperative in Şile, a coastal town on the Black Sea. Crafted using pure cotton yarns and woven on traditional wooden looms, this fabric is both breathable and durable—perfect for conscious creators and lovers of slow fashion.
What makes Şile fabric truly unique is its final step: after weaving, the fabric is washed in the waters of the Black Sea, giving it an unmistakable softness, flow, and natural texture that reflects the region’s coastal spirit. This process not only enhances its feel but also connects each piece to the rhythm of nature and tradition.
Lightweight and versatile, this eco-friendly fabric is ideal for:
Summer clothing (dresses, shirts, tunics)
Scarves, wraps, or pareos
Baby items and sensitive skin-friendly textiles
Home accents like curtains or soft decorative linens
