Meet our Knitter: Sule Kaya

Coming from Turkey, a country known for its arts and hand-crafts, it's no surprise that Sule Kaya has made a career in knitwear design. Although her grandmother and mother are expert knitters and crocheters, Kaya actually learned how to knit and crochet through instinct and observation. Before starting middle school, she could crochet moderately intricate pieces and designed her first sweater at the age of 10. She found it natural to translate her abstract creativity into concrete pieces. It had never occurred to Kaya or her parents that her talents in knitwear would ever become a viable career. Therefore, she attended a college in Los Angeles and studied economics and international business. In 2007, she had the opportunity to work for a Los Angeles-based haute couture design duo knitting pieces for their line. The collaboration marked a huge leap for her career as an exclusive knitwear designer.
