THE FIRST PRODUCT IN ISTANBUL WITH GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATION
It is possible to define geographical indications as signs showing products that have a distinctive quality and are identified with a region, area, region or country where the origin is located in terms of reputation or other characteristics. Geographical indication was applied to protect the special, cultural and artistic value of Şile Cloth. On 12.12.2017, Şile Cloth became the first geographically marked product of Istanbul by obtaining the merchandise mark.
The fact that the production stages are specific to the region, the traces and labor of Şile and Şile women in each weaving, stitch and embroidery of Şile cloth necessitate protecting this cloth.
Our primary goal is to preserve the cultural values of Şile Cloth and make it sustainable.
