My Experience With Our Turkish Partners
When I first met the owner of the Turkish manufacturer of ORGANIC cotton and rare LINEN items in 2021, I was not only fascinated by the beautiful products, but also by the way this petite, determined and charming lady presented her company. As a guardian of old, artisan traditions, as someone who loves nature and the environment, as someone who forms a symbiosis with employees, weavers and designers. Everyone benefits. No superfluous advertising, but better pay for all employees who put their hearts into their work. Just like she does. A winning situation for everyone how works with her, including me as a trading partner and our customers in US, who have the opportunity to be a part of warmhearted women's businesses. I am thankful that I found her and her production. My wish is to support her passion that goes beyond tradition, because we both believe in a sustainable future by choosing durable, high quality goods that don't end up in landfills.
About
Founder Christine Morysse
The founder of authentic-fine-design LLC has transformed her passion for nature and the well-being of individuals into a meaningful mission. Her journey began with the realization that many of us inhabit a world dominated by unhealthy materials and polluting foods. This insight inspired her to raise awareness about the importance of ecological materials and to promote a lifestyle that harmonizes with nature.
She has therefore expressed her conviction in the family construction company as well as the production and sale of recycled, organic, solid wood furniture for many, many years in Germany. Today, located in USA its the textiles that went into Christine Morysse’s focus and she still stays with the idea that sustainable products, created by real craftsmanship and under ethical view will survive it all. We are all we are all one and everything is connected. You and me and our planet.
Christine Morysse's grandparents and great-grandparents recognized the benefits of ecological materials long ago. They cultivated these resources and wove them into beautiful, durable linen (still in my possession) and cotton products in their own factories, utilizing traditional craftsmanship.
Today, home décor and ecological materials are experiencing a renaissance, redefining themselves for a new generation.
Let us use nature's resources wisely and sustainably for the well-being of all. At Authentic Fine Design LLC, we are committed to offering products that not only enhance your living space but also respect and celebrate the environment.
Organic 100% Cotton

From seed to the final handwoven product, every step in the process emphasizes natural practices, including the use of natural dyes for coloring the yarns and fabrics. The natural fibers of organic cotton are certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), ensuring their authenticity and sustainability. Free from harmful chemicals, bleaching agents, and artificial dyes, organic cotton not only benefits the environment but also guarantees that workers on the plantations operate under optimal conditions. Furthermore, our organic cotton products have a lifespan that is four to five times longer than their non-organic counterparts, allowing you to enjoy their exceptional quality for years to come. Cotton benefits the environment and but also guarantees that workers on the plantations operate.
The Power and Ability of Materials
The importance of health is being reassessed. The food we consume, the materials
that clothe our bodies, and the environment in which we live all play a crucial role in our overall well- being.
While we may not be able to change everything, we do have the power to make a significant difference. There's something incredibly comforting for our children when they wrap themselves in a blanket or bath towel made from pure, skin-friendly materials. Even our pets can feel the difference, happily lounging on a chemical-free blanket. For our ancestors, quality and natural properties free from chemicals were not merely options; they were a way of life. This commitment to high quality was deeply intertwined with the craftsmanship and expertise of dyers and weavers. Today, we are witnessing a renaissance of this ancient art, beautifully reflected in many of our products.

Linen
Linen is a material that has been interwoven with human history for thousands of years. Its antibacterial and dirt-repellent properties as well as its hypoallergenic qualities create an excellent microclimate that is particularly suitable for people with sensitive skin and respiratory allergies. Linen also lasts twice as long as cotton. Although the industrial processing of linen was quite labor-intensive due to its uneven structure and was largely discontinued years ago, this fiber has recently become more popular with consumers again. However, the cultivation and processing of flax is still demanding. Therefore, traditional craftsmanship, especially loom weaving as practiced by our partners in Turkey, is the best way to produce high-quality products. In addition, the cultivation and processing of flax is far more resource-efficient than the cultivation and use of other raw materials. Linen requires less water and is processed without chemicals, making the fabric completely biodegradable. In other words, an organic product from the hands of nature.
100% Pure Cotton
Renowned for its exceptional quality, characterized by excellent absorbency and quick-drying properties. Its extra-long fibers contribute to a luxuriously soft feel, regardless of whether the fabric is thick or thin, while also ensuring remarkable durability. Turkey, alongside Egypt, is celebrated as one of the premier regions for cultivating the finest cotton in the world. This high-quality cotton is hypoallergenic, making it an ideal choice for individuals with sensitive skin. Free from harsh chemicals and irritants, it provides a comfortable and pleasant wearing experience.
