OUR COMPANY
“Passion ain’t fashion. Our passion is woven through our DNA…”
– Paul Alofs
Talesma was founded by the Saral family under the leadership of Ali Saral, founder and CEO of the Saral Group of Companies. With over half a century of global business experience in several diverse sectors, Ali Saral’s entrepreneurial spirit guided his family to a new venture.
Letting the tradition be the source of inspiration and building from this heritage, Talesma made its mark by creating premium products from the finest quality Turkish cotton. Its passion for excellence made Talesma the largest importer of Turkish Terry in North America, and a leading player in the luxury textiles industry in just under a decade.
Talesma has been built on Ali Saral’s vision and his obsession to grow globally, setting the Company apart by offering the best quality and value in the industry.
Our Vision
Building on the vision of our founder, our purpose is to continuously expose our customers to affordable luxury.
Talesma was born with a passion for high-quality textiles, and we share our passion with our customers through our products, each of which embodies an artistic heritage unique to our Company. We are building an organization that will support this endeavor for generations to come.
