This special fabric, woven in the Tamzara neighborhood of the Şebinkarahisar region, was to be produced with the raw materials supplied by the state, as per a written order from Atatürk. However, due to an unfortunate event, the villagers were forced to cease weaving.
Following his visit to Şebinkarahisar, Fırat Neziroğlu has been actively supporting the revival and promotion of this traditional fabric.
Handwoven by local women on traditional looms, the fabric is crafted entirely from 100% cotton.
