About Tara Folks

Tara Folks is an Istanbul-based contemporary designer accessories label, specializing in leather handbags made for life’s untamed souls. Zeynep Gürsoy’s fashion training began at Central Saint Martins Art and Design School in London where she studied "Applied Imagination in Creative Industries." Her career took a different route through London’s inspiring cosmopolitan culture. It was in these years she decided to set up her own independent business that reflects the power of the feminine through her own adventurous, wild spirit and fresh and unique style. Each Tara Folks bag is meticulously pieced together using the finest materials in a second generation family owned factory in Istanbul so that Tara Folks assures artisanal knowledge and cultivates innovative craftsmanship. Tara Folks is sensitive to animal welfare. The brand selects the highest-grade hides that come from animals that have been raised for the food industry. Tara Folks does not use fur or the skins of exotic animals (such as crocodiles and lizards). Read their story
