About dokudu

Behind dokudu are Lisa, Emre and Helena. Or let's say: two lawyers and a teacher. As friends, we have a lot in common, but above all one thing: our enthusiasm for craftsmanship, durable products, sustainable consumption. Hand-weaving crafts and their communities are nearly obsolete because of senseless mass production in the global textiles industry. We believe in small-scale, sustainable production, transparent supply chains and fair working conditions. The handcrafted textile trade in Turkey is based on an old tradition and artisans that pass on the craft generation after generation. With dokudu, we want to do our part to ensure that it stays that way. Quality and good design are important to us. With dokudu, we want to pass on our love for Turkish culture, crafts and textiles. That's it? No. We work with Turkish community centers near the Syrian border in the manufacturing of our bathrobes and accessories. Their aim is to enable people in underpriviliged communities to gain professional qualifications and thus lay the foundation for self-determined and financially independent lives. Supporting women on their journey to financial independence is particularly important to us.
