About Knotolia
Knotolia is a symbolic name derived from the terms knot (loom) and Anatolia. It essentially consists of the Anatolian Woman's future knitting, stitches, and knots. The bowknot represents the work of courageous, diligent, and strong women. Knotolia is a narrative about a woman and her labor. The story begins in these stitches, which are patiently thrown one by one, and spreads as effort. These loops also extend to the logo, transforming it into a texture and pattern.
And that's how the story begins...
Bridge Koop, a Women's Production and Business Cooperative established in Istanbul on December 20, 2022 by seven aspiring female entrepreneurs, is the driving force behind Knotolia.
Women must be involved in production to assure socioeconomic development and growth for themselves, their families, children, and the society in which they live. Bridge Koop's goal in this direction is to plan and implement programs that will allow women to achieve economic independence. In an effort to highlight the worth and dignity of women in the workplace, Bridge Koop provides women an opportunity to produce and supports them in doing so, allowing them to contribute to the economy and production as well as giving them opportunities for cooperation, socialization, learning, and solidarity.
Taking its strength from Bridge Koop and its spirit from Anatolia, Knotolia is a brand of contemporary designs that women create their collections which they meticulously prepare by combining innovation with the conventional techniques.
