About Us

Who Are We?

Papisserie was founded in 2018 by Ebru Işıdan, who discovered and fell in love with the art of paper during her many visits to Tokyo. 

Exactly six years later, two close friends, Alara Tankaya and Pelin Ersoy, wanted to join her on this adventure and share her excitement.

Today, we work on projects we've dreamed of for years, adding our imagination to paper—a completely natural, eco-friendly, and people-friendly material—bringing joy to your life with subtle and beautiful touches!

We hope to see you in the enjoyable projects where we can be part of this journey and have fun together!


Ebru Işıdan graduated from Üsküdar American High School and continued her education at Marmara University's Faculty of Political Science and International Relations. Ebru, who has been working for over 15 years at one of the world's leading companies in the technology sector, was introduced to paper art during her visits to Tokyo and planted the first seeds of Papisserie in 2018, alongside her corporate life. Ebru, who began her journey under the name Panda Paper Art, founded Papisserie at the end of 2024 with her two close friends, Pelin and Alara.

Alara Tankaya graduated from Notre Dame De Sion French High School and continued her education at Istanbul Bilgi University Faculty of Law. After working for 10 years at leading law firms in Istanbul, she founded Papisserie with Ebru and Pelin.

Pelin Ersoy graduated from Notre Dame De Sion French High School and continued her education at Istanbul Bilgi University Faculty of Law. After working for approximately 15 years at leading law firms in Istanbul, she co-founded Papisserie with Ebru and Alara.

 

What Do We Value?

Women's Entrepreneurship

In recent years, we have seen that the significant participation of women in the workforce and their more active role in entrepreneurial activities have become strategically important for developing economies. We recognize that the way to unlock untapped potential in the business world and create new job opportunities is through encouraging women's entrepreneurship, and we prioritize this issue.

As three female partners, we believe in the importance of prioritizing policies and projects that create a dynamic, independent, and confident environment, enabling women to take their place alongside men in economic life and transforming them into a potential force that makes significant contributions to economic and social development.
