AN URGENT WARNING FOR OUR VALUABLE CUSTOMERS!!!...

In the last few days, we have been informed with several e-mails sent to our firm that HEREKE CARPETS have been taken from our valuable customers’ residents on the pretext of “washing & darning” by some people using the registered trademark of our company title “HAN HALI (HAN CARPET)” in several European countries mainly Holland and Germany.

We - by no manner of means - take “HEREKE CARPETS or OTHER CARPETS”, which are our own products, from residents on the pretext of washing or darning.

We do not have any representatives or branches outside TURKEY borders as “HAN HALI (HAN CARPET)”.

Our valuable customers / guests inform such and similar wishes to our head office address HEREKE in TURKEY or our branch at “BAĞDAT CADDESI KIZILTOPRAK, ISTANBUL”, both of which are widely well-known, via our telephone numbers or mail accounts.

The washing and darning premises of our company are located in HEREKE TURKEY and the carpets which are brought to these premises by personally you are examined and then washed or darned in case of necessity.

We would like to declare that our firm does not have any applications other than the aforementioned one and warn our customers against possible deceptive or duplicitous cases they might experience especially abroad by being presented our firm title as reference. Our firm lawyers will pursue judicial proceedings against the people who do not have any legal association with our company but have been performing related deceptive practices in which they use our company title.

We also would like to declare to our valuable customers and the public with great respect that we have never accepted and will not assume any possible legal responsibilities or liabilities due to such and similar applications.

HAN HALI (HAN CARPET), which has been engaged in production for more than a century, has been successfully representing our country both in domestic and abroad markets with its peculiar Ottoman art of HEREKE carpets and has won numerous prizes. Thus, it feels the necessity of making this announcement to you – our valuable customers and guests as a sense of duty and respect.

Best Regards,
