"As being an unseperable part of our lives and a constantly renewed product which is making us feel happy; the textile products are presented to domestic and foreign customers. These products are qualified by the successes of our creative, talented, young textile and fashion designers. Let's not forget that according to William Morris (1834-1896), an aesthetic environment designed by textile increases the labour and the efficiency of people."
