The Black Sea region is the capital of pure linen that is weaved by using natural ropes in handmade looms that date back to ancient times.
It is mentioned in Evliya Celebi's 17th-century travel documents that the boats and gulets are produced in this region. The boats and gulet sail cloths made for the Ottoman navy were also weaved on the handmade looms of the Blacksea.
Lush Lucky brings the traces of history back to your home by reopening the old trunks where centuries of stories and secrets have been locked up.
