OYA is the name of the traditional needle art practiced by Turkish women for centuries. Inspired by nature, these beautifully lace-edged printed cloths speak their own silent language. Women of all ages conveyed their love, their expectations, and their sentiments through the lace they wore. Technology has replaced many of our old art forms and the same is true with the OYA. By wearing these delicately hand embroidered scarves you help to keep the exquisite beauty and tradition of OYA alive.
