arada (adv., Turkish): in between; among; in the meantime
Founded in 2026 between Istanbul and Paris by two best friends, living between the two cities and building something in between. Having grown up around jewelry, they spent much of their time in the Grand Bazaar, where their families worked. It’s where their connection to materials, craft, and everyday objects began.
At Arada, objects are valued for being part of everyday life. Each piece is handcrafted in the ateliers of the Grand Bazaar and small imperfections are part of the process and celebrated.
Their inspiration comes from routines, traditions, and the colors of Istanbul, a city they always carry with them. Arada offers rings, bracelets, earrings and hair objects designed to be worn every day, mixed without rules, and made your own.
An ongoing project shaped through making, led by hand and instinct.
