Picture this: It's 2018, and nestled in the charming embrace of Nafplio, Greece, chance led me to the doorstep of a couple whose warmth could rival the Greek sun itself. Between walks to a lone ancient castle and mornings filled with the aroma of freshly brewed Turkish coffee, a seed of inspiration was planted.
Fast forward to the scorching summer of 2023, where the desert sands of the UAE whispered secrets of tranquility amidst the sweltering heat. Surrounded by the whispers of the wind and the dance of heatwaves, I found solace, and perhaps a touch of madness.
I returned to Singapore few weeks later, and began work on a Turkish store concept. From navigating a labyrinth of suppliers to fostering friendships across continents, every step was a dance between cultures. Öğütmek isn't just a business venture; it's a testament to the magic of human connection.
But wait, there's more! Öğütmek isn't just about exquisite craftsmanship; it's about giving back. Be a part of my joint quest to plant trees with fellow SG entrepreneur OneLion because, let's face it, making a positive impact matters to me. Read more about it here.
So, dear wanderer of the web, dive into the vibrant tapestry of Öğütmek, where every click brings you closer to a world of wonder. From silver gleaming under the Turkish sun to the golden hues of tradition, let Öğütmek be your portal to the whimsical wonders of Turkish culture.
With love, sparkle, and Turkish delight,
Ayesha Shaikh
Founder, Öğütmek
