Çuval

Çuval is a contemporary accessory brand from Istanbul, Turkey who aims to support and promote local craftsmanship while providing exciting and refined products.

Established in 2012 by Ayse Ozgunes, Çuval is one of the first independent designer bag brands in Turkey who used canvas, linen, outdoor textile and intriguing materials to mix with Turkish vegetable tanned leather. Meaning “sack” in Turkish, the ever first cultural appliance mankind ever created to carry, is the inspiration behind the name.

Each product is one of its kind carrying traditional and artisanal processes.
