Turkey, as a result
of its geographical location, is a treasure-house of hand-made
products. These range from carpets and kilims, to gold and
silver jewelry, ceramics, leather and suede clothing, ornaments
fashioned from alabaster, onyx, copper, and meerschaum.
When purchasing carpets, jewelry or leather products, it is
advisable to consult your guide or do your shopping at a
reputable store rather than in the street from vendors.
CARPET - KILIMS - RUG STORE
A carpet is more a work of art than an article which people step
on for everyday use.
70% of the tourists coming to Turkey return to their homes with
carpets because Turkey is a treasure-house of carpets...
LEATHER STORE
Leather processing is a traditional handicraft in Turkey and was
developed greatly during the Ottoman period. Istanbul's
traditional leather manufacturing industry was concentrated in
the district of Kazlicesme, where Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror
had 360 tannery shops built to be rented out to leather
craftsmen. Over the next 500 years Kazlicesme became a notorious
eyesore which could be smelt long before it came into sight and
the hundreds of small manufacturers have now been moved to a
spacious modern industrial estate in Pendik.
