About Us

“Gifted” means more than talent. It represents a rare creative instinct — a perspective someone is born with, a spark that feels almost like a gift.

Gifted is a creative brand shaped by emotion and guided by thoughtful design. We collaborate with artists to create customized, storytelling products, connecting creativity with fashion, textiles, media, advertising, and publishing.

Beyond design, Gifted also lives as a retail space in Sinop, Türkiye, where talented local women and independent artists share their work with the world. From handmade ceramics and jewelry to curated second-hand fashion, every piece carries a story.

Gifted is where creativity, craftsmanship, and community meet.

Gifted was established in 2002 by Bekir Dogan (I.U. Business Administration) in Istanbul in order to market Turkish designers’ unique products domestically & internationally and have been continuing its operations in Istanbul and Dubai.

Co-founder Belgin Kaptanoglu (Instituto Marangoni Fashion Design) has worked with leading brands in Turkey and USA as designer & buyer and has been working as instructor and consultant at IMA (Istanbul Fashion Academy) and IFA (Istanbul Fashion Academy Paris).
