Origins Of Fabrics

These lands have clothed the World
since the beginning.
Back when Alexander wasn’t Great yet,
when Noble Romans were still a bunch
of ambitious marauders and forgotten
empires thought their glory would be
everlasting…
All the way back then, hundreds of
tunics and cloths of varied sizes and
colors were woven and dyed here daily.
Filled into ships and sold by stoneweight
all around the Mediterranean
and beyond. The special limewater
of the area that allowed a better
grasp between fabric and dye is what
differentiated the product. Across
millennia, Hellenic Hierapolis, center
of textile in antiquity, has left its place
to the traditional Turkish village of
Buldan, where children are said to born
to looms to this day. Our names, faiths,
battles have changed in time. But the
art of weaving hasn’t. Our defining
title as “creators” hasn’t. We were the
common ground between cultures and
peoples that would prosper, expand
and perish before ever facing each
other.
The world changed. Lost and found its
way a hundred times. We didn’t budge.
We are still going strong.
