Ottoman Hands supports Afghan artists with new collection

Turquoise Mountain supports artisans in Afghanistan to preserve and pass on their traditions to the next generation, elevate their craftsmanship, connect to global markets, and create income to sustain their families.

Ottoman Hands is pleased to continue its partnership with Turquoise Mountain for this collection, which is based on two design themes as set by Ottoman Hands' Founder, Deniz Gurdal: Emotions and Traditional Forms, and Patterns and Symbols of Afghanistan, made in collaboration with skilled jewellers in the heart of Kabul's Old City.

Gurdal has worked in partnership with Turquoise Mountain to train Afghan artisans, with every piece sold contributing directly to preserving artisanal heritage and local communities. Deniz Gurdal struck up this partnership back in 2020, having been inspired by the work the organisation does. Bringing Turquoise Mountain's message to a wider audience, Ottoman Hands is proud to contribute to this mission in an ongoing capacity.
