WHAT DOES LALEN MEAN?
Lalen means "Your Tulip" in Turkish. The tulip is a symbol with a mythical appeal, which can be found in Ottoman culture in architecture, poetry, painting, silk and textiles.
DID YOU ALSO TRAVEL TO TURKEY AND FALL IN LOVE WITH TURKISH TEXTILES?
Actually and ironically it's the opposite. My passion for Turkish textiles appeared after I left Turkey and couldn't reach them easily.
My seven years living in Australia has taught me how to appreciate my culture more, and the products my country has been making for centuries. Sometimes we need to get out of the frame to be able to see the whole picture, right?
ARE YOU REALLY TURKISH?
Yes 100%. I was born and raised in Bursa (an old city surrounded by mountains in northwestern Turkey, famous for its hamams -Turkish Bath Houses- and high quality towels. I met my Australian husband in London so Australia has become my second home.
