This story is not just Humeyra and Ali’s—it is an invitation for dreamers and adventurers to join them, embrace the heroic journeys and find inspiration in the boundless tapestry of life.

Past: Start of a Voyage

In a world where dreams were tucked away for practicality’s sake lives Humeyra and Ali. They are kindred spirits and dreamers who believe that life’s journey is meant to be an adventure. Humeyra, a Business Intelligence Developer, has a heart that longs for the world’s mysteries, inspired by her love for travel, cartoons, nature, and the marvels of sci-fi and fantasy. Ali, an Editor passionate about comic books, graphic novels, and the wonders of science and technology, shares Humeyra’s zest for life’s uncharted paths.

This revelation sparks a fire within Humeyra’s heart. An invitation to embark on her journey arrives as a dream in which she and Ali stand on the precipice of a new adventure. Doubts creep in, but Ali’s steady hand and editorial wisdom encourage Humeyra to step into the unknown. They courageously decide to leave their ordinary life behind and enter a world where dreams and determination collide.

As they navigate the waters of sustainable fashion, they encounter the daunting task of finding reliable suppliers and carving a unique niché.

With each step, their designs take form—each bearing a piece of their hearts, minds, and experiences. These creations deliver messages to those seeking the courage to take on their journey, either to connect their inner selves, the outer world, or both.

With each thread, they breathe life into their vision, connecting with cultures, nature, and the diverse souls they encounter.
