This is a very cute store and I understand why there is so much buzz about this place on the…read moreinternet. There is a huge selection of fun stuff that if I had more room in my carry on, I might have went hog wild. What didn't help was that I came here in November so there were Christmas things for sale already and I love good Christmas decorations. The store is also fairly large so you can roam and take a look at a lot of different things. There are also quite a few entrances/exits, which seemed odd for shoplifting reasons but I appreciated being able to walk out onto a different side of the street. I will say that stuff was super pricey in here, but if it is mostly hand made by artists, I understand. I also live in an overpriced tourist city, so I understand the mark up. I will say that I thought the staff was a bit aloof. Like they didn't care to answer any questions or make any conversation, or even say hello. That was fine. I like being left alone when I shop anyway. Aloof is fine but rudeness isn't. When we left one of the employees was super rude and slammed the door on us (someone else had left it open and she thought it was us so she said something and slammed the door) so that left a bad taste in my mouth but I will say this store is still pretty cute and I'd come back.

Unfortunately I ordered these earrings that came broken during the delivery. I emailed them twice…read morefor replacement and till this day, I never received a reply or response. This was the second time I've ordered from here and would have continued but weird that I never got a response.

Kismet Rug Gallery - Wow! We here at Kismet love how the colors within this rug compliment each other.

As far back as I can remember, Oriental rugs were on the floor of my grandmother's apartment in…read moreBerlin. At age 14, with my little sister in tow, I walked a small bazaar in a coastal town in Turkey. I sought out the rug merchant. As we entered, I confidently told my 8 year-old sister, "these are Persian rugs". The merchant let out a slow sigh and invited us in. He served us tea and patiently explained the difference between a Turkish rug and a Persian rug (knotting technique, design etc). He was gracious and kind. He did not talk down to us. With my allowance, I bought a little Kilim, but only after haggling (surprising him), which I had seen my mother do countless times in similar situations. As we left, he thanked me repeatedly; a lesson in poise and commerce from a rug merchant in Turkey. Kismet. Fast forward 44 years. I have purchased rugs at Sotheby's and on Le Brea in LA, occasionally "having paid for my rug education" - having paid dear. As such, I am a bit more aware walking into a rug merchant these days and have not bought anything in years. But in life there is always Kismet. Jeff and his wife Mina run Kismet, the primary rug merchant in Jackson Hole. He is an intense, bright, charismatic, energetic, driven member of the community, who clearly does not suffer fools. Mina poised, calm, watchful and supportive. Boy, does he know his rugs.... I have rarely seen an inventory of the quality and range found there. He knows his stuff and has a good eye for how the rug will work in your space, but even more so, a sense as to how "the rug" will work with your personality. He enthusiastically came to our new house and unrolled rugs, refusing any assistance; we bought 2 large antique area rugs, and a runner after a few days of back and forth. Then, two days later, 7 smaller area rugs within 30 minutes, as our basis of understanding had been set. I am confident we will continue to work together. So, go in knowing the inventory is exceptional and he will take the time to find the right rug for you and your space, engaging in a delightful, sometimes intense, but deliberate conversation, a thorough process.....

We have had our first Kismet rug for 3 years and it still looks great! Beautiful and high…read morequality.....
