Dear Readers,

of Baccarat, the title of the magazine refle ts its renowned
crystal manufacture and the glamourous world of fine dining.
Most famously known for perfectly sculptured crystal in form
of elaborately cut glasses and decanters, chandeliers, precious
perfume fla ons, decorative elements and jewelry, Baccarat’s
prestige has long gone far beyond the reach of the French
borders.

– whose long-standing history reaches back to the year of
1860.
In combination with meticulous quality policies, the company’s

Von Faber Castell’s artfully crafted writing utensils are there; you

line for Sevan Bıçakçı who engraved the 7 beautiful names of
Allah on ring. These are a few among many. However, they

de satış sanatını öğrenmeye başlar. Bir süre sonra da ipekli ve yünlü<br />
kumaşların satıldığı Kamelya mağazasına transfer olur. Giderek tekstildeki<br />
temel bilgileri artmaya başlamıştır. Mağazanın satıcılarından Hayim<br />
Efendi, Vitali’ye büyük bir iyilik yapar. Elinden tutup, Kapalıçarşı’da<br />
Kupidis isminde bir mağazaya tezgâhtar olarak başlamasına yardımcı<br />
olur. Kupidis mağazası, Şen Şapka’nın yaratıcısına ilham ve başlangıç<br />
kaynağı olacaktır.<br />
Hayallere doğru ilk adım: Şen Şapka<br />
1934’lü yıllardı ve Atatürk Şapka Devrimi’ni gerçekleştirmişti. Kupidisler<br />
bu durumdan yararlandılar ve mağazalarında bir şapka reyonu açmaya<br />
karar verdiler. Bu reyonun sorumlusu ise Vitali Hakko’dan başkası<br />
değildi. Bu işin başına geçtiğinde henüz yirmi yaşına dahi basmamıştı.<br />
Kısa süre içerisinde atölyenin hazırlıklarını tamamladılar. Mevsim kış<br />
olduğu için kadife ve fötr şapka çeşitleri hazırladılar. Vitali Hakko, ilk<br />
şapkalarla güzel bir vitrin yaptı. İlk birkaç gün karamsar geçse de sonraları<br />
şapka yetiştiremez oldular. Bu arada Vitali Hakko da şapka yapımını<br />
öğrenmeye başlamıştı. Çok da zor olmayan bu üretimde asıl olan<br />
biraz yetenek, biraz beğeni, kalıp ve çekici malzemelerdi. O da yavaş,<br />
yavaş şapka yapımcısı olmuştu. Bu başarı ‘kendi işini kurma’ hayalini<br />
de körüklüyordu. Ancak ne sermayesi ne yeterli tecrübesi ne de bilgisi<br />
yoktu. Yapabileceği tek bir şey vardı, “tecrübeyi, bilgiyi ve sermayeyi<br />
edinene kadar çalışmak!”<br />
Askerlik görevinden döndüğünde II. Dünya Savaşı’nın bulutları henüz<br />
ufukta görünmüyordu. Yine de önsezilerinin burukluğuna kapılmak<br />
istemiyordu. O da yapması gerekeni yaptı ve eniştesi Rafael ile birlikte<br />
Şen Şapka’nın kapılarını açtı. Ama bu öyle pek de kolay olmadı. Her<br />
şey tamamlandığında Kapalıçarşı’da ana cadde üzerindeki dükkânın<br />
vitrini yapıldı. Eşyalar geldi. Bir yandan da usta arayışlarına devam<br />
ediyorlardı. Çok geçmeden Max adında bir fötr ustası ile anlaştılar.<br />
Şapka malzemelerini de Tünel’deki Paissis’ten alıyorlardı. Şapka kalıplanıp<br />
ütülendikten sonra, kimi zaman bir pli, kimi zaman da küçük<br />

Y IFE AKKO. <br />
When Vitali Hakko passed away in 2007, he<br />
had achieved his greatest ideal and left behind<br />
a large organization which pioneered the<br />
fashion and ready to wear in Turkey. Hakko’s<br />
autobiographical book, first edition published in<br />
1997, is telling the story of a life dedicated to an<br />
ideal. And that ideal’s name is Vakko.<br />
The story of establishment<br />
Vitali Hakko has witnessed more than half a century of The Turkish<br />
Rebuplic and a bussinessman given a big establishment with<br />
values to our country. He couldn’t ignore this fact while recounting<br />
his life. As stated by Mr. Hakko, he and many businessmen of his<br />
generation were unique individuals and grew up in quite diffe ent<br />
social and economic conditions. Beyond any doubt, he and his<br />
peers fought against severe economic conditions of the period.<br />
They were the first generation of the young Republic. Atatürk’s<br />
re<strong>for</strong>ms expedited the process. As Vitali Hakko often said: “The<br />
rules regarding clothing changed with a revolution. Vakko would<br />
not exist today without hat and clothing revolution. Vakko owes<br />
its existence to Kemalist re<strong>for</strong>ms and Turkey’s westernization<br />
effo ts.”<br />
Vitali Hakko was born in one of three wooden contiguous<br />
buildings in Yedikule on 1913. In those days, it must have<br />
been a privilege to born in Yedikule and grow up at one of the<br />
world’s most cosmopolitan areas where ethnic cultures united in<br />
friendship environment. In the book, Hakko tells his childhood<br />
years in high spirits.<br />
Goodbye school, hello life<br />
His father lost his job at the Chemin de Fer company and that<br />
brought financial difficultie to family. Young Vitali had to drop<br />
out of school soon regarding to financial issues. Vitali Hakko<br />
supported his family during those hard days as he always done<br />
at the rest of his life. His first job was in his father’s carpenter<br />
shop. In those days even he contributed to family budget but he<br />
couldn’t learn carpentry. Instead of learning carpentry, he learned<br />
patience, sense of excellence and realised that people should do<br />
their best no matter what the business was. After a while, he<br />
