Collection Note:
Gulnar
‘If you buy a pomegranate, buy one whose ripeness has caused it to be cleft open with a seed-revealing smile. Its laughter is a blessing, for through its wide-open mouth it shows its heart, like a pearl in the jewel box of spirit.’
– The Laughter of Pomegranates, Rumi
The journey of Gulnar collection began not just with an inspiration, but with their deep, abiding love for suzani textiles, fostered in over 150 antique pieces collected by their founders. But after multiple exhibitions, They knew they had to go beyond display.

They did what they do best: combine textile history and fashion through their contemporary, minimalist lens, creating each piece into wearable art. This is their definitive and passionate statement on how suzanis can belong in the modern wardrobe. They have meticulously identified the core motif languages of suzanis and translated them through intricate appliqué work. The pomegranate stands out as their central motif. This is a rooted, honest, and timeless collection. It is passion made real.
