There's lots of stationary stores [so many in fact that i can't understand why Yelp doesn't have a…read morecategory "stationers"] but in ikitelli this is the stationers to go to. they are as friendly, as helpful. as considerate as it gets. honest. always books on sale for kids. if you can get it in turkey, they'll get it for you. - i really wanted will james' 'smokey' and he really searched. no luck finding it but he searched. the big chains don't really care all that much. and of course in the old fashioned "stambouli" tradition, a cup of tea while you wait as they look. they treat everybody with the same deference, little kids, old folks, moms or dads. they don't measure you by your tailor. there are chain bookstores i go to that don't see past my worn jeans. this is one store in one local neighborhood so you aren;t going to drive over from kadıköy of course, but if you're near Atatürk Mahallesi or Arena Park, you'll do better off here than some multı-story commercial stationers. for example, there's a place down the road a bit, where i bought a very expensive fountain pan - the manager let me fumble around looking for files and covers. everybody was too busy to help. i saw the pen, a couple of hundred TL. cartridge. i use ink, but they only carried cartridges. to make a long story short, the manager annoyed, says to me to the effect "don't you know how to load a cartridge!" as he took the pen out of my hands and forced it in backwards. i got a fountain pen pump for that pen at a shop in Eminönü the next time i was there where i've bought pens for about 30 years, but that's a schlep from ikitelli. - we had a good laugh. - i gave up dressing up lifetimes ago. at Batı they literally treat you like their veli. ıt's not just a sign behind the counter.

English skills varies though. I have bought four or five suits here over the years and the quality is excellent and that's the main reason i keep coming back. Also the shirts in the "Beymen business" line is absolutely amazing! And worth every Lira!
