The Source
Many of you know me from Wolfe Lane Wellness, where I’ve spent the past years creating and sharing handmade, naturally rooted goods with my local community.
Now, I’m beginning a new chapter: Global Sourceress. This project is born from my love of travel, and my desire for real clothing made from natural fabrics. I’ll be traveling in person to open-air markets around the world, hand-selecting natural fiber clothing free of synthetics — flowing cotton, airy linen, and gauze garments that feel soulful, timeless, and alive.
This isn’t fast fashion. It’s small-batch curation, chosen piece by piece, for those who want a wardrobe with meaning.
I invite you to join me on this adventure — follow along, explore, and claim the treasures that speak to you.

Why Istanbul?
Istanbul feels like the perfect beginning for Global Sourceress.
Turkish cotton is world-renowned for its incredible softness, durability, and quality — the kind of fabric that gets better with age and feels timeless on the skin.
Beyond cotton, Istanbul has been a crossroads of trade and textiles for thousands of years, standing at the very end of the Silk Road. For centuries, merchants and makers have gathered here, bringing treasures, craftsmanship, and stories from across the world.
For me, this isn’t just about sourcing clothing — it’s about stepping into a place with layers of history, culture, and soul. I feel a deep personal connection to Istanbul and can’t wait to wander its markets, discover its treasures, and share those finds with you.
This city, with its blend of East and West, past and present, feels like the most magical place to begin this journey.
