Oya is an antique and traditional oya hand embroidery found all-over Turkey and can be traced few centuries back, first found on silk fabrics. There are many different motifs, shapes, and colors of oya; taking the meaning from their makers, usually inspired by elements of nature around them. For many women, oya became a tool of communication, especially at times when they could not express their opinions openly. By creating and wearing these precious embroideries on their scarves, they revealed a different language; expressing emotions and thoughts through their choices in motifs and colors. The oyas for the scarves and accessories are created in collaboration with the embroiderer Kumru Mısırlıoğlu, inspired by old embroidered scarves collected from elder family members.
