Anatolian weaving, which started in Çatalhöyük (Catal Huyuk) 9000 years ago, has guided the worldwide weaving trade in every age. Turkish weaving culture, which came from Central Asia and enriched with the local cultures of Anatolia, has been rapidly losing its traditional values in recent years and has been modernized for various reasons and moved away from its originality." - Fabrics Atlas of Turkey As K'ai&Vrosi, we keep alive one of these fabrics which is called peshtemal.

We interpreted traditionally loomed Black Sea peshtemal back to life by combining it with genuine leather.
Hakkımızda
“Peshtemal“ is a multicolored striped pattern textile woven from cotton yarn. What makes it so unique is the way it is manufactured and the story behind it. It is even considered as a cultural heritage. The women of black sea used their “peshtemal” as a scarf and as a garment, while they collected nuts and tea, while they worked on lands fertilized by the rain. What did we do? We changed the utilization area of the “peshtemal” and we adapted it to the everyday life. We brought the “peshtemal” that are weaved using wooden loom which has only a few craftsmen left and which is sunk into oblivion, with genuine leather and handwoven baskets. We designed unique products by combining each of the unique peshtemals that are 100% weaved by using hand looms, with leather in the hands of master craftsmen. We strongly believe that you will welcome these products with love. We named this unparalleled initiative as “K’ai & Vrosi”. Why? Because these two words mean “GOOD” in Laz language. Therefore it is a reduplication. But “K’ai” is predominantly used in Artvin, Arhavi region and “Vrosi” is mostly used by Laz people of Ardeşen. This reduplication is formed by words belonging to these two regions. Therefore, we reflected the diversity of the region into our brand name. Craftsmen can earn almost five times more of the “peshtemal” price that they will weave on the loom in three days in todays conditions from a day's work in orchards, therefore they move away from traditional weaving as a profession and also they are having a hard time in finding buyers because of the unfair competition caused by the mechanical fabrication. This causes the traditional fabrication of the red, yellow and black striped garment that symbolizes the region to be sunk into oblivion. We, as K’ai & Vrosi are a first in this field in Turkey and we set off a journey, for keeping our traditional value, the Black Sea “peshtemal” weaved on wooden hand loom, alive and to support local production.

🔻What is Peshtemal? 🔻 The women of Black Sea used to wrap peshtemal cloth around their heads or their waists gathering tea leaves or collecting hazelnuts from the fertile land around the Black Sea, Turkey. Peshtemal became an inevitable, cultural and traditional piece of a woman's daily life by taking place at home, field, streets and even weddings. Even though there are peshtemal craftsmen, the number of them is decreasing every single day. Like any other sector, peshtemal had been a victim of mass production. With different models and colors, peshtemal's usage area change its direction from clothing to home decoration with runner and beach towel. With its changing form, peshtemal has been in a long journey from villages to cities, from fields to our homes. Want to see something special about this handloomed fabric?
