“rumisu” is designed by Pinar and Deniz in Istanbul, with the goal of letting love and curiosity for beauty be a conduit for philanthropy, and creating a line of ethically manufactured luxury design accessories that also give back to their community of origin… passion for illustration led rumisu to seek the perfect blank canvas allowing the brand to tell each tale print by print. each piece has its own story; characters & inspiration and color mood... one might be depicting a birthday bash where the guest list consists of monsters, another portraying mythological creatures, or animals from an African safari... …conceptualized as wearable artwork, each piece is hand-illustrated, then transferred onto 100% silk or 100% cotton, produced only in limited-edition and finished by hand-rolling… …influenced and intrigued by the crafts of our local culture, rumisu integrates these into an illustrative world. thus, most of the pieces have a unique crocheted accessory that carries forward and reminds one of the traditional Turkish art of ‘oya’. these crochet characters and the hand-embroidered fabric cases that each scarf comes in, are hand-made in Southeastern Turkey in cooperation with a UNDP project that aims to foster sustainable economic development of the region’s women… rumisu tries to keep away from taking life too seriously and aims to seduce childlike souls of all ages and sexes…
