New update, in the new location! Warning: When you enter the store, you will be greeted like family, to include laid back GSD puppies! Be prepared to get the "smell of approval" and have the owner offer Turkish coffee or tea! Fantastic selection of unique items. Rugs, clothing, lamps, and all sorts of things - it's like entering a fairy tale shop. We stopped in to buy the Hop Queen her early anniversary gift - a lamp she has been havering for for years. You can choose your lamp, and get the globes you want - want to swap them out? No problem, plenty of choices, like everything else in the place, almost overwhelming! There was a 50% off sale going on, so that was even better. We did get spoiled with our fresh brewed coffee, and had some Turkish delight to go along with it. Almost a shame to finish up the transaction and get on the road. Do yourself a favour and come check it out. There are fewer and fewer unique shops that offer this kind of quality, service, and friendliness. An Austin original! read more

Magic is Huseyin's actual first name. He's OG Austin, the realest, very good people bringing stacks of the best vintage Turkish rugs at fair prices for your choosing. What I mean is, he will help you dig through the piles, then let you take one (or three) home to try, and if you do end up buying, you can keep it as long as you want (30 days, 5 years, whatever), then trade it back in at full value for a new one that fits your decor later on. NO FUCKING JOKE. Keep Austin perfectly weird in all the best ways, love on your local vendors. read more

Magic Caravan - Vintage Kilim, what a find! - Antiques Near Me - Austin, Texas

Wonderful store & Owner! So warm and welcoming the minute we walked in! He gifted my 2 kids small hand towels that are so nice! And encouraged my son to play tug o rope with one of his dogs! It was fun to walk around checking out all the amazing items! And also see our oldest playing and enjoying himself with a friendly dog! We are traveling from the PNW, so unfortunately it didn't make sense to buy a rug but oh man! had we lived closer, or had a practical way to get one home, I would've!!! They are so unique and gorgeous! He also had beautiful handmade items, shoes, pottery! Worth stopping in for sure! Even if only to window shop and have great company! I did buy my sister a vintage handmade turkish purse! which she loves so much! read more

I've bought several carpet pieces from Magic Caravan over the years. And I love each of them still. Each has its history and story and Huseyin is an expert in antique carpets. He also happens to be fantastic company and makes superb coffee ! They also have gorgeous towels and bathrobes that have lasted me an age. They've made lovely gifts as well. Waking through that shop is like being transported in time to another land. Highly recommend a visit and a coffee ! And if you do what a carpet - absolutely buy from here. You won't be disappointed. read more

Magic Caravan - My gorgeous shag pile loved by me and my dog - Antiques Near Me - Austin, Texas

This place is truly magic. Huseyin has a spectacular eye for quality and a real belief in his products (he will buy back anything that you chose from his store) - we have friends that buy from him personally and wholesale for their stores elsewhere (he has a reputation that extends far beyond the consumer retail market). Come on a small budget for beautiful Turkish bath towels and ceramics or a bigger one for true investment pieces. If you are looking for low cost ground cover this place is not for you -but rugs with history and story and real craftsmanship are hard to find in the USA and worth the outlay (for me). Afshar toZakatala via kilim and Isfahan - these guys have got you. Get to know them, chat, love, decide what you're willing to pay and stick to your guns - if you're just browsing / working out what's for you, then come and spend and afternoon chatting to the owner or one of his brilliant assistants about what they have to offer. Always ALWAYS time well spent! read more

Magic Caravan - Antiques Near Me - Austin, Texas

A new gem of crafts and artisanal goods in the booming Burnet Corridor. Got wind of this new shop opening this week, and as a fan of most things Turkish I was intrigued. Located in the small house that once housed Barbecue Mercantile, (just South of Billy's on Burnet, but on the East side of Burnet, next to Sonic) the transformation could not be more complete. The cute little shop is filled with handmade Turkish crafts, textiles, ceramics and beautiful carpets. Smiling proprietor Huseyin has brought his favorite ceramic pieces, mosaics, tiles and rugs direct from Turkey and the care taken in the selection really shows. Prices are moderate for the most part, and the range is extensive. If you are shopping for a unique gift, a special accent for your home, or especially a handwoven rug, this is the place to stop in. read more

This place is wonderful!! Huseyin, the owner, is so kind and helpful. He offered me Turkish coffee when I walked in and gave me a couple presents for my baby. He let me take home several rugs to figure out which one worked the best in my home. They have beautiful ceramics and jewelry too- I love this place!! read more

The name is perfect because once you open those doors it does feel a little magic. It reminded me of all the beautiful carpets, ceramics and art my mom used drag back from all her trips to Uzbekistan, Turkey, Nepal... I could spend hours in there. If you do, you will Phoebe and Hussein- not sure if I am spelling either correctly- lovely couple and they really know their trade and they will offer your excellent Turkish coffee and apple tea. read more

This place has all things Indian and Moroccan from lanterns, to bedspreads, to pottery and clothing. There was a big German Shepard that walked towards me in a menacing way when I walked into the shop that kind of freaked me out but he turned out to be friendly. They have nice ethnic-y stuff but a little pricey for what it was. read more

Huseyin and Hazim are really friendly and try to help you in any manner. They have various turkish rug and carpet options, also Turkish Coffee if you ask. If you are looking for a cool Turkish Handmade stuff in Texas, this is the place you need to visit. read more

Beautiful handmade pottery, colorful rugs, and so many other Turkish items! There's so much to see and too many items to mention. I was looking for a unique gift item and I found what I needed!

We've bought quite a few rugs (and Turkish cotton bathrobes, vintage rug pillow cases, etc) from Magic Caravan and each piece is a unique treasure and a piece of art that no one else will have. Huseyin, the owner, is a treat to work with, full of great stories, genuine kindness and enormous personality, and we always feel like we've somehow won in the negotiation. This type of small business is a dying breed and we appreciate its existence and the heart it takes to keep it going, and are honored to get to contribute to keeping it around for years to come. If you want a truly one of a kind, vintage, high quality rug with a story that will be a beautiful centerpiece for any room, you have to go to Magic Caravan! read more

This is the best place to learn about carpets, walk on them with bare feet, be awed by their beauty and craftsmanship, and find the perfect one for you and your space. Tribal rugs, kilims, Balouch rugs, and much more. read more

Magic Caravan - LOVE my beautiful magic carpet. The variety & quality here is the best I've seen. Stunning gifts too and a warm, helpful staff. - Antiques Near Me - Austin, Texas

I just came back from the most CHARMING store!! If you haven't visited the new Magic Caravan over on Burnet, go check it out. The owner is a lovely man (I think his name was Huseyin) and he has a gorgeous dog, ZaZa a sweet lovable German Shepard. I wanted to buy soooo much while I was there! They have amazing hand loomed silk textiles, rugs, hand painted bowls, platters, vases, clothing, towels, robes, light fixtures. I bought a GORGEOUS "table cloth" that could easily double as a wall hanging (I plan to use it to dress my massage table) and three fun cat pillows - yes cat pillows. Talking with the owner I learned that he has his own silk farm that he actually uses to produce the hand loomed silks in the store. I have my eye on a gorgeous hand loomed piece... I'm sharing the picture with you, but please don't buy THIS ONE :P I want it for myself! read more

My family and I have been coming here for a couple years. I struggle with money but Huseyin is such an amazing owner and he'll help you with payment plans if you need to. I have a gorgeous rug from him and I'll buy more when I can. And the Turkish shoes are the absolute most comfortable, best shoes you'll ever own. When you come here you feel like family and that is a feeling everyone needs a lot more of. read more

I bought a couple of trinkets for my roommates and can't explain how welcoming the owners are! I got to try turkish apple tea and meet their beautiful puppy! I wish I lived in Austin cause I'd be visiting often but I'll definitely be adding it my must revisit if I'm in the city again! Thanks to the shop for being so kind and a highlight of my trip!! read more

Very friendly owner. He has cool animals all over and a very relaxed atmosphere. He gave us a free bowl. I didn't buy anything but would recommend checking it out. read more

Just horrible. I was offered tea ,(which was nice), but the salesman , (charlatan), was pushy & gave me a price of $200 for a ring .When I stated it was beautiful but obviously not worth that much, the owner came out & attempted to shmoos me! All of the sudden that gorgeous ring was only $40 ! What a joke!! . I politely declined and as I was leaving a dog came out of nowhere & almost bit me ! The owner didn't call the dog off - just smiled - ( politely of course) . Wow ! Never again read more

Pretty legitimate Turkish handcrafts, carpets, and textiles. We haven't seen a place as authentically Turkish as this outside of Turkey; not generically Arabesque, as so many places are. The owner is very kind, and very knowledgeable of his goods. read more

Oh wow, after years of driving by the fortune teller who was in this building, my son and I stopped in the see what was here. This store is so very cool. Huseyin and his beautiful dogs welcomed us in and told us about his store and country. Much better than the big chain import stores. read more

Amazing experience and the owner of the place was such a sweet and warm individual!! I will definitely be going back in the future!

The owner is SUCH a nice guy. Also, really colorful rugs, bowls, door frame fabrics and lamps that would pair nicely with some candles and nice smells. Would love to decorate my place with this stuff! read more

This shop has some truly great customer service that can be hard to find at other small businesses. I did not meet the owner but the ladies I talked to were amiable and answered all the questions I had as a new rug shopper. Bonus is that they have two friendly dogs and a cat. I would highly recommend this location to anyone that wants to check out some beautiful wares and talk to some easy-going folk. read more

This is one of the greatest place i've ever been. They have amazing products from Turkey. They have all these unique pillowcases, carpets, and pestemals that i fell in love with. Everyone should go there to check it out their products and if you dont want to buy something you can just meet with their lovely dogs, cat and pigeons. Huseyin and Phoebe are the owner of the shop and they will help you out for every concerns you have! Such an amazing place!!!! Thank you!! read more

Stopped in today just to browse, but left with an amazing rug- for a bargain price! Loved the owner and his two beautiful dogs, cat, and chickens. Felt like I stepped into another world when I entered Magic Caravan. Will be recommending that all my friends and family go look around. read more

Are you kidding me... this place is such a find. Love the Owner, his sidekick, and his talented curating eye. GO VISIT!

Magic Caravan is amazing!!! Love everything about that place, starting from the owner and his lovely dog to the lovely lace coasters.

Went there on a week day evening. Closed. 6pm. Supposed to be open. Waste my time and fuel. Ok , found it open. WAY OVERPRICED!
