About Us

 Heritage, Vision, and Awareness 

Our story begins in 1968, with the very first stitch cast in the heart of Istanbul. Bilik Deri, founded by my grandfather and expanded by my father and uncle, was more than just a family business; it was a school where I learned the true meaning of craftsmanship, patience, and the relentless pursuit of perfection. However, my dream for ATABBEY was not just to continue this deep-rooted legacy, but to transform it into a global brand.

My time studying in Spain marked a turning point in my journey. Living there and traveling across Europe and Africa gave me a completely new perspective on design and life. I blended this global vision I gained abroad with my family's half-century of leather expertise.

I am Ataberk Bilikozen. When founding ATABBEY, I aimed to create a brand that is conscious of its responsibilities to our planet, while still delivering luxury and quality. For us, success is defined not only by profitability but also by respect for nature.

With this vision, we do not compromise on cost in critical processes like packaging; we deliberately choose FSC-certified, recycled, and ethically produced materials. Our goal is to make sustainability a corporate culture without sacrificing quality, and to set an inspiring example for other companies in our industry through this dedication.

At ATABBEY, we bring together the master craftsmanship of the past and the awareness of the future in a single bag.
