Rouge d'Andrinople, which shook European courts, now embraces the kimono of ancestral power. This exceptional red, obtained from Rubia tinctorum in Edirne during the 15th century, represents a symbol of power, wealth, and Ottoman dominance, transformed into a garment that transcends time and borders.

Color History: Edirne or Ottoman Red is a cultural heritage of the Ottoman Empire, known in France as "Rouge d'Andrinople." Originating in Ottoman lands, it gained immense popularity in Europe to the point that European countries spent years trying to discover its secret formula, even sending spies. The process was jealously preserved by Ottoman master artisans. It is not just a dye, but a symbol of the empire's rich artistic and cultural heritage that you can now wear.

Material: Woven cotton (Peshtemal) on black looms (kara tezgah) with geometric hand embroidery
