Our Story

Rustique was founded by Senem Erdoğan Atay, a native of Izmir and a 2005 Chemical Engineering graduate from Middle East Technical University in Ankara. With a rich background spanning multiple industries, she brings together years of experience and a deep passion for entrepreneurship.

Inspired by the cultural richness of Anatolia, we created Rustique as a lifestyle brand rooted in authenticity, quality, and timeless design. Our journey began with a curated collection of clothing, home textiles, and wearable fashion pieces — each crafted with premium materials and meticulous attention to detail.

Our mission is to share Turkey’s artisanal heritage with the world by fusing traditional craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics. From handcrafted genuine leather bags to scarves woven from the finest bamboo, cotton, and silk, every piece reflects elegance and a sense of global sophistication.

At Rustique, we celebrate simplicity, authenticity, and enduring quality — creating more than products, but a way of life.
