I'm a daily wearer of historical clothing and a Volga Tatar. I’m also passionate about experimental archaeology. I enjoy glimpsing firsthand into what it may have been like for people in the past, applied in a modern context by exploring historical fashion and hand sewing, and how we can interact with the world in a more compassionate, sustainable, and connected way.

For my own everyday clothing, I wear Ancient Greek, Medieval, Renaissance, Prehistoric and other eras, as well as incorporating more of my Indigenous (Turkic) dress. All the garments I make for myself are 100% hand-stitched and are slow to construct! I feel this is a wonderful way to connect with the process of sewing and show the durability of hand-sewn garments.

This is a welcoming space for all genders, sexualities, ethnicities, and any other marginalised groups.
