Since 2016

A bench in Kuzguncuk

A founder who left architecture for flowers, a team of three and a small shop on İcadiye Street.

Market at 6, bench at 9.

It started with a card

In 2016 we tied our first bouquet for a neighbour’s mother’s birthday. He couldn’t write the card, so we did. The next week his mother came in to show us the card.

Since then every bouquet goes with a handwritten card. We write hundreds a day and still read every one.

We choose our flowers at the market every morning. We don’t sell flowers out of season.

Notes from your cards

Mum put the card on the fridge. The bouquet lasted a week; the peonies opened on day two.— Elif

Birthday for her mum

Ordered at 14:40, it was at the door by 18:00. They wrote the card better than my handwriting.— Kerem

Anniversary

Hydrangeas and daisies on the tables, and little bouquets for guests at the end. Everyone went home with flowers.— Deniz ve Ozan

Wedding

My first bouquet ever. I learned the spiral and went home with my own.— Selin

Saturday workshop

What shall we write on the card?

Start typing and see it on the card. Then choose the flowers; we handwrite it.
