Our Story

We met on a late ferry across the Bosphorus, both pretending to read, both watching the city light up.

What began as one shared simit and a long argument about the best çay in Kadıköy slowly turned into friendship, and eventually, love.

Through two cities and every summer back home, we found that home was wherever the other one was.

Now we can’t wait to sing, cry and dance with you on our kına night.
