OUR STORY
Hotiç was founded by Salih Hotiç in 1938, Istanbul
For over eight decades, the brand has stood out with its unique design philosophy, refined materials, and craftsmanship that celebrates authenticity. From its first workshop in Istanbul to over 65 concept stores across Europe and Asia, Hotiç has evolved from a family passion into a symbol of modern Turkish design.
Today, still run by the Hotiç family, the brand continues to inspire confidence and creativity, shaping the next chapter of a legacy built on integrity and style.
Heritage & Craftsmanship
Every Hotiç creation is the result of decades of experience and meticulous attention to detail.
From the careful selection of raw materials to the artistry of hand-finishing, each product reflects the brand’s devotion to quality and integrity.
Our artisans continue to uphold the same values that have defined Hotiç since 1938.
