About Desert Lobby
Hi wanderer, I'm Bengi 🐫 I'm the founder, designer, producer, photographer & manager of the Ankara based independent jewelry brand Desert Lobby.
Above is baby me, in my room, with the very first chokers I designed & produced. Year is 2021 (I guess??) Yes, I took product photos with that back then 😄
In my mind, Desert Lobby is the final hall before you enter the great desert dream where you'll be alone with the sun & your true self. This is where you pick the jewelry you want to keep with yourself in this journey & also meet likewise colorful souls.
I design necklaces, bracelets, anklets, phone charms & many more original pieces with story telling in mind. All of them are handcrafted in very limited quantities using quality materials like gemstone beads, handmade Murano glass figures & Miyuki beads.
I've started this brand in 2020 with Instagram sales to my home country only. Time flies ✨ Desert Lobby is now a trademarked brand with a huge base of loyal customers from all over the world.
I'm currently Ankara (Turkey) based & I ship everything you buy from here, worldwide 🚚❤️ You can buy my products from this website, from my Etsy page, from the Wolf & Badger website & also small local boutiques in Turkey like Soul Kitchen, GU Designer Store & Karamela.
I deal with every order personally, I do not work with a warehouse or any other professional. I pack your jewelry myself with great care.
& one other detail that I'm very fond of - I've also designed the high quality package that contains your beautiful jewelry myself. This jewelry box is made of high quality thick paper & produced in Istanbul, Turkey by the best. Enjoy!
About all your questions, feel free to send me a message on IG 🫶🏼 I'm responsive ❤️ You can also drop me a line at bengi@desertlobby.com as well 🧿
Nice to meet you ❤️🔥
