Merhaba!
About Us
TOGETHER TEXTILES is a family-run textile studio founded by life and business partners Allie and Güven Arpacı in February 2017.
What began as a way to share Güven's four generations of Turkish textile knowledge has grown into something larger: a study in care, craftsmanship, and connection across borders.
Today, we design small-batch textile collections, from Turkish towels and robes to our signature classic cotton tees, made slowly, intentionally, and in partnership with the people who bring them to life.
Our products are made soil-to-stitch in Denizli, Türkiye, Güven's hometown. We work directly with family-owned workshops, artisans, farmers, and production partners whose relationships span generations. We don't believe the people who make our goods should be hidden from the story.
They are the story..
For us, textiles have never been just products.
They're evidence of collaboration.
A towel requires cotton farmers, spinners, dyers, weavers, sewers, truck drivers, warehouse workers, shopkeepers, photographers, storytellers, and customers. A simple cotton tee represents decades of accumulated knowledge, thousands of human decisions, and a network of people trusting one another enough to create something together.
That kind of community isn't always convenient.
It isn't always efficient.
And it certainly isn't the cheapest way to make things.
But we believe real care.. for land, animals, and humans, rarely is.
For us, Türkiye isn't just where our manufacturing takes place, our lives are here, too.
We spend our time in the places where our products are made. We walk the streets. Drink tea with our partners. Visit workshops. Check on animals. Listen to stories. Share meals. Show up for celebrations and losses alike. These relationships extend far beyond transactions.
Because we believe trade can be human.
We believe business can be relational.
We believe quality is created through proximity, trust, and shared investment.
Together Textiles was born from an immigrant story, a love story, and eventually a family story. While raising three children between cultures, languages, and continents, we've learned that togetherness is not a fixed destination. It is an active practice.
It's choosing collaboration over isolation, and partnership over extraction. Enough over excess.
And remembering that everything we enjoy was made possible by someone else's hands.
Our newest cotton tees embody this philosophy perfectly. Designed to become the piece you reach for most often, they're made from 100% cotton and made to drape after wash and wear. Structured, relaxed, genderless, and intentionally simple, they celebrate what we value most: natural fibers, thoughtful construction, longevity, and everyday usefulness.
Movement is natural. Borders are not.
We're grateful you're here.
Welcome to Together Textiles.
