The spark that ignited Meraki came to life when Penelope moved with her family to Istanbul in 2019, where they later launched their atelier. Imbued with the rich history and enchanting traditions of Turkey, they found themselves immersed in the vibrant tapestry of Turkish craftsmanship.
Despite the challenges posed by the global lockdowns, Penelope and Virginia seized the opportunity to collaborate with skilled artisans, sourcing the finest textiles and sketching prototypes.
