*Knitting methods and techniques vary from person to person. Most of the oya is handmade by the housewife at home, so even if you get a rare oya from time to time, it is unlikely that you will see the same thing next time. As a result, the oya has a scarcity value, and it may be bought by collectors at a high price.
* The yarn is made of cotton and silk, and is braided with plenty of natural stones and beads.
* The detailed motifs are zoomed in, but no matter which motif you look at, the delicacy of knitting really fine threads is unique to handicraft techniques.
* Since metal is not used for the part that comes into contact with the skin, even those with allergies can enjoy fashion with peace of mind.
*Our oya embroidered items are the work of Turkish artist BAHAR BAHAR.
Before Corona, Mr. Bahar had several craftsmen, but now he is making works by himself.
Her creations are decidedly more playful than other Oya embroidery pieces, each of which is layered with intricate and small parts, and is decorative and three-dimensional, creating a real variety of fun in every detail.
A one-of-a-kind accessory in a world with individuality, please come into contact with Mr. Bahar's heartfelt work.
* Motifs are knitted with thin threads and small parts such as natural stones, beads, and sequins are sewn together.
Since they are very delicate works, there is a possibility that they will be damaged if a strong force such as tension is applied.
Please handle it carefully and gently.
