What we make

Our story

It started in 2014 with a kitesurfing trip. Nesligül and İlan, a Turkish couple who love to create, travelled to the Philippines and Zanzibar chasing wind and turquoise water. What stayed with them was the color: vibrant local cultures, handmade traditions and a relaxed, joyful way of living. They came home with an idea, to bring that color into the things we use every day. That idea became Happy-Nes. Read the full story.
