Celebrating the Legacy of Turkish Handmade Textiles
At Crafted Anatolia, we honour Türkiye’s extraordinary legacy of handmade textiles — a tradition that spans millennia, blending art, function, and sustainability. For Australian businesses looking for authentic, premium-quality textiles, our curated collections connect you directly with skilled Anatolian artisans who continue to weave cultural heritage into every piece.
A Heritage Rooted in Craft
Türkiye’s handmade textile history stretches back to ancient Anatolian civilisations like the Hittites and Seljuks. During the Ottoman Empire, textiles were a pillar of both the economy and cultural life. Cities like Bursa and Istanbul flourished as global centres for silk and cotton production. Ottoman weaving techniques and vibrant motifs in kilims and carpets became sought-after across the Silk Road, influencing styles from Persia to Europe.
