Ilkay says with each pattern, they are able to create a large-small scale to fit the product. Plus, they created fine borders on each pattern to create clean lines for their clothes. The House of Turk & Turk home collection so far features; pillows, table clothes made of silk sateen, and bone China plates. The brand is committed to well-crafted, limited-edition pieces, creating five to twenty sets at maximum. Ilkay says pricing varies for home collection plates, depending on quantity and style.
