Belitisi was born in 2024, right in the middle of the global pandemic, inside a kitchen in Gümüşlük, Bodrum — founded by an actress. Six months later, it became part of a shared workshop. A year later, it was already strong enough to run its own studio and shop.
For almost four years, Belitisi delivered its unique, handcrafted gifts to nearly every city in Turkey. Now, our dream is to share the handmade work of local women and the lavender grown in Bodrum with the whole world.
