This 100% pure cotton fabric (125 g/m², 150 cm width) combines lightness and strength, offering a soft natural texture and timeless quality.
The Quiet Elegance of Anatolia
Buldan cloth, woven for centuries in the town of Buldan in Denizli, is one of Anatolia’s oldest and most refined handwoven textiles.
Made entirely from natural fibres — mainly cotton, sometimes blended with linen or silk — it is known for its lightweight texture, breathability, and understated elegance.
Behind its simplicity lies an extraordinary discipline and patience; each fabric reflects the rhythm of the weaver and the calm of its origin.
Traditionally woven in soft whites and neutral tones, Buldan cloth symbolises purity, nature, and serenity — the very essence of Anatolian craftsmanship.
I, Fırat Neziroğlu, reinterpret Buldan cloth through a contemporary design perspective. By combining its timeless simplicity with contemporary silhouettes, geometric compositions, and visual storytelling, I aim to preserve its authenticity while allowing it to live anew in today’s world.
Buldan cloth is more than fabric — it is the quiet spirit of Anatolia, woven with light, patience, and grace.
