Hello, I am Hüsniye
Clothing has always held a special place in my life.
I come from a family of nine siblings, and as you can imagine, I inherited clothes from my older sisters.
But what fascinated me the most was the family workshop, overflowing with fabrics of all colors and textures.
From a young age, I ventured into experimenting and creating my own designs.
Dressing up wasn’t just fun; it was my way of expressing myself and showing who I was.
Rebellious garments
I don’t know about you, but for me, some garments make me feel unique, different from everyone else.
I grew up within a strict family structure, shaped by a traditional and conservative Turkish culture, where clothing was meant to conceal rather than express. Yet beyond that, a modern and free-spirited European culture called to me, awakening an urgent, almost life-saving need for emancipation.
In that context, creating my own clothes became an act of rebellion—a way to assert who I was and to express what made me feel truly unique.
Today, at Simit Tribu, I bring these two worlds together by crafting timeless, exclusive clothing that revitalizes materials with a story.
I celebrate the uniqueness of children while contributing to a more creative, diverse, and eco-conscious world.
The Simit, a round Turkish bread covered in sesame seeds, symbolizes my brand: a desire to sow our rebellion, our light, and our love for nature and colors—all while having fun.
