Iles Formula Women Featuring The Ozturk Sisters Of Harem London

This week on the journal we are sharing Iles Formula Women Featuring The Ozturk Sisters Of Harem London.  DUYGU D OZTURK and BEGUM NAZ OZTURK (@haremlondon) are the Founders of HAREM LONDON (www.haremlondon.com). The sisters, one ex-Central St Martins and the other ex-Goldsmith’s, originally launched Harem London in 2015, as a luxury lifestyle collection. Their first and now signature product, the “Pestamal” or hammam towel lies at the core of the brand.  Following the success of their signature product and the accompanying bathrobes, the sisters were soon being approached by leading hotels, spas and private clubs, such as The Spa at The Four Seasons, 10 Trinity Square and The Moroccan Hammam at Harrods to name a few.

2017 saw the launch of their first beachwear collection, a natural evolution of their initial lifestyle products, consisting of casual and versatile yet chic dresses, kimonos, kaftans and separates, all made from the same original hammam towel fabric that they had perfected.  2019 sees their first AW18 collection under the HAREM LONDON name. Hoodies, chic track pants, t-shirts are designed to be mixed and matched and available in Harem London’s signature sophisticated colour palette.
