dor

It means brown horse in old Turkish. For us:

1. noun A horse that carries the Bosphorus' north winds, the lightness of linen, and the slowness of long summer evenings.

2. adjective rooted in the Mediterranean; spending days at sea, nights under the stars.

We've been wearing linen for thousands of years

Wearing a garment made of linen and mother-of-pearl is like wrapping yourself in a plant and adorning yourself with seashells. We don't need to express this in more complex terms. It's such a simple and beautiful feeling. We're talking about a companionship that gently returns to the earth and to where it came from when you decide to stop wearing it.

After all, what comes from nature returns to nature; just like humans who belong to it. Not the other way around.

When we look from this perspective, we can see that we are striving for co-existence and well-being. In the big picture and in the long run, we can see that we make each other's well-being and continuity possible or impossible. This is a narrative of shared destiny. Either all together, or none of us.

Therefore, cooperating with nature is not an act of magnanimity, but living and producing in harmony with the natural flow of life.

This is an invitation to our world. To this beautiful place we cannot show on a map, to our climate.
