Story

Anatolian Craft was founded by architect and designer Bilge Can as a personal journey shaped by memory, craftsmanship, and a love for handmade beauty.

The brand’s story begins with a childhood fascination for hand-embroidered shoes discovered in an old family chest—a quiet reminder of how objects made with care can carry emotion, history, and meaning. Years later, this inspiration became the foundation of Anatolian Craft.

Today, Anatolian Craft creates handcrafted footwear made by women artisans of Anatolia, using traditional embroidery techniques and carefully selected materials. Each pair is shaped slowly, with attention to detail, comfort, and fit. Because of this process, no two pieces are exactly alike.

Rooted in heritage yet designed for modern life, Anatolian Craft brings together traditional craftsmanship and contemporary elegance. Every collection reflects a balance of romantic detail, refined design, and everyday wearability.

Anatolian Craft believes that in a fast-moving world, there is lasting value in things made by hand — thoughtfully, patiently, and with care.
