Turquoise Tassel in the Press

A Quiet Coincidence, A Meaningful Moment

During the National Day celebrations of Luxembourg, Turquoise Tassel unexpectedly found itself part of a moment it had never anticipated.

Seeing Hereditary Grand Duchess Stéphanie of Luxembourg carrying a Turquoise Tassel Bloom Clutch during the ceremony was both an honor and a genuine surprise for us.

The piece had previously been purchased in Turkey by a guest who simply mentioned that it would be gifted abroad. No further details were shared, and the identity of the recipient remained unknown. As with every Turquoise Tassel creation, the clutch took shape in women’s hands, crafted with care, and quietly sent on its way.

It was only later, through a photograph that reached us, that we discovered where this journey had led.

This moment was not the result of a planned collaboration or a promotional strategy.
It was simply a coincidence.

Yet this coincidence served as a gentle reminder that work created with sincerity and patience naturally finds its way, without direction, to exactly where it belongs.

For Turquoise Tassel, this story is less about fashion, and more about values meeting quietly.

The Bloom Clutch carried during the celebration is part of a project that reflects the founding idea of Turquoise Tassel: to create meaningful work for women who, for various reasons, are unable to work outside their homes. Each clutch is handmade, and no two are alike. Shaped by countless combinations of colors and motifs, every piece is entirely unique.
