Inspired by her Turkish background and a love of natural materials, Aydan Keresteci founded Caria Atelier to bring handcrafted, high-quality, and slow fashion goods to Newport Beach. Caria Atelier is a thoughtfully curated boutique on Balboa Island that blends Mediterranean elegance with modern, sustainable design. Caria Atelier is more than a shop; it’s a space for community and connection, celebrating women, and supporting local artists. She envisioned a boutique that not only reflects her style but also tells a story: celebrating artisan craftsmanship and supporting small, women-owned businesses locally and abroad.
