Born from a lineage.
Made from the sea.

“It is a tale rising from the depths of the sea. A thread derived from algae is shaped by hand and time into a knitted surface that carries memory.”
A bioyarn luxury-packaging capsule — a Perfume Garment and a Ritual Pouch, hand-knitted from brown seaweed and finished in mineral cobalt. Made to feel precious, made to disappear.

The practice
“I work with one ingredient — brown seaweed — and transform it into yarn, by hand. The yarn becomes the surface: a covering for a perfume bottle, a pouch for a ritual. It dissolves in water, and leaves nothing behind.”
— Berrak Zeynep Okyar
