Everything started in the beginning of 2016. NO 33 BUTİK emerged because we felt that we needed to be more creative in our lives.When we started the project we never thought that it would become so important for us. I say ‘us’ because two people founded this event. Namely, Gülşen and Serdar…
We are a couple who are together both at work and at home. We are a couple as well as colleagues. And yes, even after spending most of 5 years working together, we still love each other very much. ♥️♥️♥️
Actually, everything started with a dream, there was no 'business plan', investment, communication strategy or anything else. This project was born out of our passion for fashion. Over time, we have developed in line with our own needs as well as the needs of our followers. We tried different things and finally decided to do what we liked the most. Our passion was designing combinations that people liked, and as our combinations received positive reactions, our enthusiasm increased even more.
We started as two people with no ambition, no goals other than to make a living and enjoy what we do (and that is still the most important thing). Right now we have a great and busy team that takes care of everything at lightning speed. (hello to the team) Sometimes this speed makes us dizzy which is a good thing!
When we quit everything to start NO 33 BUTİK, our work ceased to be a job. Every day or let's say almost every day, because everybody has bad days, we had the tremendous luck to go to work with a big smile on our faces. We strive to create something that is completely ours, a style that completely our own. For us, happiness is in living our way.
Let's not kid each other. Starting a business is very difficult. It is super hard. Whoever says otherwise is a liar. We haven't even mentioned what we have been dealing with for 3 years, the hours we spent on this project, the effort we have put into it and the passion we've laid out... A lot of experimentation, a lot of mistakes, this worked, that didn't, we always started from scratch all over again.
But it was worth every minute. We are sincere when we say that if we had to start all over again to establish a company-studio that is so wonderful and gives us such pleasure, we would do the same all over again. But that still doesn't change the fact that we have a ton of work ahead of us - behind us.
No 33 Butik is a part of our life. A big thank you to everyone who believed and supported us.
We love you all so much.
