Upcycling Workshops
Upcycled Turkish Fabric Travel Bag Workshop
Sustainable design in Balat
We'll meet in the colorful streets of Balat, at the Mah Roc workshop. Every piece of fabric you pick up was once part of another product... Now it's your turn to give it a new identity.
-
Fabric Selection: Vintage patterns, hand-embroidered pieces, different textures… All waiting for you on our table.
-
Sewing Techniques: Let's talk about life and our dreams while learning hand-sewing techniques passed down through generations.
-
Your Own Design: Transform waste materials into a unique, stylish, and functional travel bag.
-
Exploring Balat: After the workshop, a short walk through the hidden corners of the neighborhood.
When you leave here, you won't just have your self-designed bag; you'll also carry the stories that inspired it.
The Perfect Pairing: Chef’s Table x Mah Roc
Created for a special evening of beer and food pairing, this limited-edition bag was designed as a companion to the table.
Inspired by Fred Erik’s beers – each with its own color and character – every piece reflects a different flavor profile through carefully selected fabrics and embroidery details.
A keepsake to take the experience with you beyond the table.
Art, Carried
The Arrival of Spring, Normandy, 2020 | SSM
Specially designed for the David Hockney exhibition at Sakıp Sabancı Museum, these limited-edition bags celebrate color, texture, and artistic expression.
Each piece is created using patchworked fabrics, combined with hand embroidery and unique embellishments, echoing the playful and vibrant world of Hockney.
Crafted in limited quantities, every bag is one of a kind, carrying the spirit of art into everyday life.
Mah Roc x Zara: Designed for Change
Created for the opening event of Zara’s new store, this special edition bag was designed as a reflection of shared sustainability values.
Committing to 100% more sustainable fabrics and circular initiatives like Join Life and in-store recycling. Inspired by this shift, we reimagined existing fabrics into a limited series of upcycled bags, crafted exclusively for the event’s guests.
