Clothing is more than fabric — it is a language. Crafting pieces that combine comfort, individuality, and artistic expression.

Hello, I'm Basak.

Basak Yurtoglu - Fashion Designer

A passion for design that tells a story

I am a fashion designer passionate about creating pieces that combine comfort, individuality, and artistic expression.

Inspired by art, texture, and form, I enjoy exploring silhouettes that balance simplicity with character. With experience spanning womenswear design, handmade jewelry, textile prints, and visual branding, I bring a multidisciplinary approach to every project.

Currently based in Seattle, I run Bijoux Bellamy, my handmade jewelry brand on Etsy, while continuing to develop my creative voice through fashion and design.

This is my fifth or sixth pair from this shop and I love each one of them. Unique design and quality is amazing. The best thing about this product though is the colors. Red and pink is used together very elegantly. Shipping was super fast and packaging is very nice as always. It is worth every penny.
