Tire Kececilik
Having spent his childhood years in his father’s little accessory store in the lash bazaar in Tire, Mehmet Yılmaz started to produce souvenirs appealing to everyone by founding a small felt workshop in order to survive the art of felting, which has begun to be forgotten in the region. By developing within time, Tire Keçecilik has become a family business; providing employment to house-wives.
The company produces wool of 72 different colours from the raw-materials obtained from the ovine breeding companies in the Aegean Region and sustains the art of hand-made felt with modern designs. The company also provides courses.
