OTTOMAN OPULENCE

Ottoman Opulence fuses porcelain tile motifs, delicate florals wrapped in ivory and terracottas and gilt scrollwork into a harmonious blue tableau. The result is richly layered blue and white floral dresses, kaftans, swim, accessories and bed linen.

”When beauty sings her sweet serenade, my soul must answer. I ascend the staircase of the Dolmabahce Palace tilting my head skyward to the Ottoman domes above. These celestial realms make the most mighty of us mere subjects. Architectures both storied and divine dance a surprisingly supple waltz. Bombastic Baroque and raging Rococo take the polished hand of Neo Classicism. From great hall to atrium, ballroom to balcony, it’s an exquisite symphony of crystal, light and colour.”

—Founder and Creative Director, Camilla Franks

Introducing an enthralling collection from global print house CAMILLA, inspired by Founder & Creative Director Camilla Franks’ travels through Türkiye. Join us as we embark on an ever-intriguing odyssey through bustling bazaars, Ottoman era palaces, mesmerising mosques, thermal springs, harems, heirlooms and hammams. From Cappadocia to Istanbul, Bodrum to Antalya, uncover an Anatolian dreamland of enchanting embroidery, intricate architecture, antique jewels, wild contemporary art and vintage textiles. Through antique markets and underground cities, we trace the stories of this country’s rich mix of inhabitants: artisans and aristocrats, Romani and rugmakers, singers, sultans, concubines and courtiers.
