Heritage

We believe our heritage deserves to reach the whole world - the same way the world knows Disney's characters and their stories.

The craft

Every stitch is made with love, by hands that care about the details. We pay close attention to every feature, using premium Turkish acrylic and cotton yarn so the doll can be a lifelong companion and withstand years of play.

Nesma

Lavander began in 2016. But for me it was more than the start of a business - it was the start of a journey.

After years working as a tour guide, I needed to find something that would give me back my passion. That's when I returned to what I'd loved for a long time: working with my hands.

What our customers say

Real messages from Lavander customers

You don't understand how amazed they were by it, and how happy the little girl was - happy with the colouring book and the stickers too.
And the mother was amazed, amazed, amazed.

The doll is lovely and looks so much like Mum 😍😍 Truly wonderful work.
Mum was so happy with it, she loved it - and by chance she was wearing the same abaya and scarf, and she said, this doll is dressed like me 😄😄
— Samar, a gift for Mum

Oh my goodness Nesma, you can't imagine how happy the keychain made me.
I love how much you care about the details - the blouse, the scarf, my features. I genuinely loved everything about it.
— Maha, a keychain of herself

It's stunning, Nesma, bless your hands 😍😍😍
And in real life it's far lovelier than the photos. But do you know the best thing about it? It doesn't look like ready-made work - it's unique, and it has every detail she asked for 🥰🥰🥰

Nesma, bless your hands. The order arrived and the falahas are lovely, far nicer than the photos. The headscarf and the little balls on it are gorgeous.

I was there and I loved your work so much - I felt like I was in Disney. May God bless your hands ❤️❤️❤️

The anxiety character was the one I loved most …, and she looks amazing, bless your hands.
The anxiety shows right in her eyes, especially at night when she's next to my PC screen. I'll be working, lost in thought, and suddenly catch someone staring at me in the dark, and my heart drops for a second 😂
As not-nice as that is, it proves you're a master 😅👏🏻
