"A Stitch in Time Turkey has a strong textile tradition: carpets, of course, but also tapestries, pillows, and clothing. Cocoon boutique has a beautiful collection of these goods, along with embroidered suzani fabrics from Uzbekistan and Central Asia, felted wool and silk hats, and colorful travertine tiles. Also look for oya , intricate flowers made withan ancient needle-lace technique. Some pieces are vintage and others are made new for the shop, but all are fit to be heirlooms. Theirshowroom near the Arasta Bazaar in Sultanahmet is also a good source for olive oil soaps and cotton peştamal (towels)."
