MEET LEA CHOCOLATIER
Life is the sum of small moments, meaningful encounters, and the joys we collect. Ultimately, the ones worth remembering, sharing, and smiling about are those we can say "I’m glad they were there."
Lea's story begIns wIth such an encounter,
a moment we can truly say “I’m glad It happened.”
It is the result of the beauty and inspiration of our beautiful girl Leyla, who chose to continue her life with us after starting her journey on the streets, and our effort to give back by creating more happy moments.
With every chocolate you purchase, you will bring happiness to our friends on the streets, to Leyla’s companions. Together, we will create more happy encounters and more moments to say
“I’m glad it happened.”
We are so happy to have met you—here’s to many more!
MEET THE CHOCOLATIER
I am YaÄŸmur Öngüner Çetin.
I was born in Ankara in 1990. After studying Industrial Design at Gazi University, I studied Business Administration at Istanbul University. After working in corporate life for 9 years, I received training in the Chocolate & Confectionery Program at Le Cordon Bleu Istanbul to realize my passion for chocolate.
In 2024, I followed my dreams and said hello to my new life by establishing
Lea Chocolatier to immortalize my daughter Leyla.
“ Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."
