We are Prickly Pears. A fruit also known as the Indian Fig that grows on thorny cacti, almost without any need for water, on the sides of dirt roads, along dried streams, on the slopes of arid and barren hills, ripening under the hot sun of the Mediterranean. We were inspired by our fertile land and our childhood memories.

In Antakya, the looms still move at their own pace. The shuttle passes from hand to hand, just as knowledge does. Not through machines, but through years of watching, practicing, repeating.
For us, working this way is a choice. It would be easier to produce faster. It would be simpler to separate ourselves from the process. But we care about staying close; to the craft, to the people behind it, and to the memory carried within each piece.
What you hold is not just cotton. It is time, continuity, and the decision to keep something alive.

Antakya, Hatay
A region shaped by centuries of handweaving, where silk, cotton, and linen have long been part of daily life. This is where our towels are produced; close to the craft, and close to its origins.
After the earthquake, many artisans were displaced from their homes and workshops. Through ongoing collaborations, we aim to help restore working spaces and ensure that this craft continues; not just as a memory, but as a living practice rooted in Antakya’s future.
Everyday Essentials
Inspired by the rich heritage of Anatolia, our bathrobe and towel collection brings together comfort and understated elegance. Made from 100% natural cotton and crafted using traditional hand-weaving techniques, these pieces are designed to adapt to the pace of modern life while keeping sustainability and natural materials at their core. Created to elevate your bath and beach rituals, our bathrobes and towels invite you to experience cultural heritage through everyday moments.
