We uad a great time picking out new towels at Jennifer's. The storefront didn't have what we wanted…read moreso they took us to the showroom and we got to see and feel so many other options. The manager was very helpful and did not pressure us to buy anything. We went with two thin beach towels and two bath towels. You can really feel and see the quality. We are very happy with our purchases and will recommend this place to anyone visiting Istanbul in the future!

Turkish towels, luxury, quality, hand made, huge selection to choose from and custom made robes…read moreare what you find in this amazing shop. I first heard about Jennifer's Collection prior to traveling to Istanbul during an online search for Turkish towels. After a private city tour, our guide also recommended this shop and said it's worth the visit. As soon as you step inside the showroom, it is obvious that this place is top quality. The weight of the towels, softness and vibe here is exactly what we were looking for in Turkey. We ended up buying several towels and most importantly custom made robes for us. We picked out the towels to be used and then went to the exclusive showroom for a tailored fitting. It took just a few days for the robes to be made and worth the wait. Haci, our salesman, was friendly, answered all of our questions, and made us feel welcome throughout the process. Sipping apple tea was a good way to relax and think through our choices. The shop's owner is from Canada, so this is more of a fixed price shop, but you can receive a little discount the more you buy. The shop is conveniently located in the Arasta Bazaar, about a 10 minute walk from historic sites like the Blue Mosque. We actually preferred this Bazaar over the larger Grand Bazaar as it has more local crafts. Come over and check out Jennifer's shops and take home a piece of Turkish crafted pride.

I astonished by the beauty and quality of the mosaics Sinan showed me. He was patient and educated…read moreme in the tradition of his craft. After three visits I decided to buy one large plate and a mosaic. They both arrived via UPS a week later in perfect conditions. (He sent them hand-made in crates!) I believe I got an incredible deal for museum quality art, and I can't wait to return and have tea and be educated by gracious Sinan and his brother about Turkish craft. Thank you Sinan!

Two parts, we got a smaller Turkish mosaic lamp that may or may not make it back packed in bubble wrap and clothes, and a little rug for one of our cats, and a pillow case for our cat sitter, and a scarf for a Philosopher friend. In the ceramics part of the shop we got some pretty bowls which also might not survive the ride in luggage but they did wrap them up well and they are embedded in clothes and yarn. The Chief of Staff is in to knitting and bought yarn in Turkiye, which makes for good packing. None of this was expensive and the attempts to upset weren't overbearing.
