What is Şile bezi fabric?

Şile bezi is a traditional cotton fabric from the Şile area near Istanbul. It is loosely woven and has a natural crinkled texture, so it needs little ironing and still looks fine after hours of wear. Because it is thin cotton, air passes through it easily, which makes it a favourite fabric for summer. Crinkled texture: naturally relaxed, no careful ironing needed. Embroidery: traditional details on the chest or sleeves. Tie neckline: a simple, feminine finish.

How do you style a Şile bezi tunic?

Pair it with wide linen trousers or a light maxi skirt and a cotton or chiffon hijab in a soft shade. Wash it in lukewarm water and dry it in the shade to keep its texture. For more lightweight pieces, explore our summer tunic collection.
