MOTIF presents a timeless reinterpretation of the classic men’s shirt, shaped by local craftsmanship and natural texture. Its relaxed and balanced fit falls away from the body without clinging, preserving ease of movement while maintaining a clear and composed silhouette. Clean lines and a restrained surface language position the piece as a strong essential — equally suited to everyday city dressing and more refined settings.
The embroidery detail along the front placket is created using the traditional SARMA embroidery technique, specially applied onto Şile Bezi. In this heritage method, cotton thread is wrapped in dense, sequential strokes along the motif line, allowing the embroidery to gain soft volume and presence on the surface. The result is a fuller, more defined, and durable embroidery structure. Executed entirely by hand, this technique introduces natural depth and a rhythmic texture, making each shirt subtly unique through small variations.
Our models are crafted in two distinct Şile Bezi textures according to their intended purpose: STRUCTURED (TOK) and LIGHTWEIGHT (İNCE).
Structured (TOK) Şile Bezi features a denser weave that preserves form, creates a stronger silhouette, and offers balanced comfort across all seasons. Lightweight (İNCE) Şile Bezi, by contrast, provides a softer, more breathable touch against the skin, delivering fluidity and elevated comfort especially in warmer climates.
The MOTIF Men’s Embroidered Shirt is crafted in LIGHTWEIGHT (İNCE) Şile Bezi, bringing together refined lightness, natural breathability, and an effortlessly fluid character.
