Weaving Legacy and Sustainability: The Story Behind Minoa’s Organic Cotton Journey
In the heart of Minoa's story lies a beautiful fusion of heritage, sustainability, and conscious design. What began as a family legacy passed down from a skilled silk artisan grandmother has evolved into a modern movement — one led by brothers Tunc and Fatih Tandogan, whose passion for textiles is woven into every thread of Minoa Home.
From the Silk Road to Sustainable Innovation
Raised in Switzerland and inspired by a rich blend of cultural influences, Tunc and Fatih’s journey has been anything but conventional. Their path — from the historic Silk Road to global retail and textile design — reflects a shared mission: to revolutionize home textiles through artistry, purpose, and sustainable innovation.
Tunc’s Artistic Eye: A graduate of Istanbul’s University of Fine Arts, Tunc brings creativity and craftsmanship to the forefront, exploring sustainable production without compromising quality or beauty.
Fatih’s Business Precision: With a degree in Mathematics and decades of experience in luxury retail (including at Canada’s renowned Harry Rosen), Fatih blends analytics and ethical business strategy to ensure Minoa leads by example in eco-conscious operations.

Why We Choose Organic Cotton
Organic cotton isn’t just softer — it’s smarter. It plays a pivotal role in eco-friendly fashion and sustainable interiors, with benefits that extend far beyond the fabric itself:
Environmental Protection: Grown without toxic pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, organic cotton reduces water pollution and supports biodiversity.
Farmer Well-being: By eliminating chemical exposure, it promotes safer farming practices and healthier rural communities.
Climate Action: It helps sequester carbon and reduces overall resource consumption, contributing to climate resilience.
By choosing organic cotton, Minoa is part of a movement that supports both planetary health and human dignity.
