Lonely Planet review

There are so many rug and textile shops in İstanbul that isolating individual stores is usually particularly difficult. We had no problems whatsoever in singling this one out, though. In Cocoon's flagship store, four floors of felt hats and antique costumes and textiles from Central Asia are artfully displayed. The owners here really know their stuff, and most of their sales are international and dealer-based.

Its next-door rug outlet sells items from Persia, Central Asia, the Caucasus and Anatolia. Put simply, it is one of the most beautiful shops in the city and we love it to bits. There's another, smaller store in the nearby Arasta Bazaar.
