The Wandering Poet Collection

Introducing The Wandering Poet – an enthralling new ready to wear and resort collection from global print house CAMILLA, inspired by Founder & Creative Director Camilla Franks' travels through Türkiye.

A poetic fusion of Türkiye's past, present and future. A dedication to craftsmanship, colour, creativity. A labyrinth of print, embellishment, embroidery and storytelling.

Follow in our footsteps through bustling bazaars, Ottoman era palaces, mesmerising mosques, thermal springs, harems, heirlooms and hammams. From Cappadocia to Istanbul, Bodrum to Antalya, uncover an Anatolian dreamland of enchanting embroidery, intricate architecture, antique jewels and vintage textiles.

A new collection of wearable artworks, where handcrafted luxury meets rich, diverse colour. Made intentionally, made slow, made with love.

We are printmakers, storytellers, adventurers, and artisans.

FROM THE FOUNDER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR

“I’ve been a printmaker and fashion designer for 20 years, and yet I still find inspiration around every corner. Visiting Türkiye again felt like coming home. And so, this collection is a return to my roots, and to my brand’s deepest heritage. What called to me, more than anything, was a deep sense of artistry and an unwavering dedication to craftsmanship. These things are at the heart of everything we do.”

CHAPTER 2: ISTANBUL INTRIGUE

“The Topkapi Palace still echoes with the pandemonium of the past. The dramas of lascivious sultans, zealous courtiers, stunning concubines and artful eunuchs that colluded in every ornamented corner. It is decked, archway to chamber and wall to window, with Iznik tiles, arabesque shapes, murals, stonework, amulets and talismans. A fitting backdrop for the opulence and unrest of the Ottoman empire that calls to restless souls with an unquenchable thirst for beauty and power.”

CHAPTER 1: LETTERS FROM BOHEMIA

“The charm of Türkiye unfurls before me with the warmth of a thousand homespun treasures and the thrill of a magic carpet ride. It hums with a holistic hospitality. I’m welcomed into cosy parlours where my joyful hosts laugh and listen. Their generous smiles open my heart and kindle my creative spirit. Bountiful food appears on intricate, richly coloured ceramic plates and apple tea is poured from a seemingly bottomless pot. Hands are clapped and clasped in delight. Each tale is so vivid, each detail so unique, I long to hold onto every tenderly woven thread.”
