My name is Cigdem Ertekin, and I have been in the retail business since 2006. I am the owner of Bloom, a boutique in Dupont Circle, Washington, DC, where I offer a curated selection of clothing, jewelry, and unique gift items. I personally import my collections from different countries including Turkey, Brazil, Thailand, and Korea. My goal is to bring together global style, quality, and a warm, welcoming shopping experience while supporting shopping local.
