About Us
Our Story
"Tara" means star and symbolizes uniqueness. Tara Folks bags serve as reminders to embrace our light and shine brightly.
"Folk" represents individuals who carry traditions and arts. Our designer honors her culture and supports local artisans with Tara Folks women preserving these traditions.
The logo merges the first two letters with a small star on the "F," symbolizing the radiant glow of Tara women.
The Founder and Designer
Zeynep Gürsoy, is an award winning designer, a graduate from Central Saint Martins London Design and Art School.
Tara Folks Accessories was inspired by Zeynep’s question, “What does it mean to be a Turkish woman?” In response, she
began designing handbags that blend her cultural heritage with her contemporary perspective.
Brand Values
The brand supports Turkish design and craftsmanship by working with local artisans. All bags are made in Istanbul using local materials to minimize carbon emissions. Leather, selected for its durability, biodegradability, and long-lasting qualities, is sourced as a by-product of the meat industry, ensuring no animals are specifically harmed for TF bags.
