We fell in love with the story of this young and courageous designer from the south of Turkey !
Passionated by leather goods and crafting, Nazli decided at the end of her studies to start an exceptional human adventure. She started making her first models with recycled paper cords and her mother, amazed by her daughter’s creations, developed a passion for knitting. With the help of her friends, she prepared and packed her first orders. The bags are getting popular and a beautiful familial story is starting ! Then, Nazli decided to make her first complete collection by adding natural bamboo and leather as new materials. She met a local leather craftaman which allowed her to launch her first collection in Spring 2020.
Exclusively in Europe, we will propose to you her essential of her Spring / Summer 2021 collection.
More than a traditional knowledge, it’s a saddle stitching that is used to make each model. This way of sewing has been developed a century ago to respond to a need for strength. A subtle handling of two needles and a thread leads to a faultless smooth stitching, giving the item an indestructible premium quality.
Each piece is unique as it’s handmade on demand.
Artisanal, sincere and family oriented, this story has seduced us in a great way.
Exclusively in Europe, we will propose to you her essential of her Spring / Summer 2021 collection.

OUR VALUE
Every bag embodies every single woman working in the world who contributes to her own economy. This is why each one of our bags is different, unique, and special. Each piece of work opens a new chapter to a new adventure for strong and positive Duende women. The Duende bag has its own story and reflects the beauty in nature. Every stitch on every bag is carefully crafted to reproduce the scenes and colours from nature itself.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
When a piece of work is handmade, it is vital to pay attention to details. The craftsmen transfer a part of themselves into their products. Their skills have been developed for years and they can produce fantastic pieces. We rely on traditional design techniques, and we take time to innovate on new processes and materials in order to achieve unique designs. We care about the details of the handmade final piece, and we combine it with high-quality materials to create a lifetime product.
STITCHING
A traditional technique, also known as saddle stitch, is used to create the piece. As an ancient form of art, it begins with the drilling by hand of each hole on the piece of material that are then assembled. A subtle movement of the needle allows to achieve a smooth seam, which looks tidy on both sides. Hand sewing gives a superior quality and strength. Even when a stitch is broken, the bag cannot be torn (unlike machine stitches). The technique has an inherent beauty, which can only be achieved thanks to a hard work and dedication, to give as a result, a masterpiece.
