From Tradition to Innovation the Dance of Cotton and Wool with the Shuttle
UTTU - A Transformation Story Woven with Women’s Hands
Thousands of years ago, the Sumerians believed weaving to be a divine gift and named the goddess who protected this craft Uttu. We carry this name today as a tribute to the labor, resilience, and creativity of women, rooted in Ayvalık.
UTTU brings together the deep heritage of the Kedi Kadın Cooperative and the timeless aesthetics of handcraft, reinterpreting them for the contemporary world. Each piece is created using traditional weaving techniques, reflecting both the strength of women’s labor and the warmth of solidarity.
Inspired by the Mother-of-Pearl (Sedefli) Blanket, we honor the elegance and stories of handcraft, carrying them on a journey from past to future.
For us, UTTU is not merely a brand, but a transformation story — one that empowers women and revives values at risk of being forgotten. Each piece, born from tradition, weaves together care, sustainability, and art.
