October News

Tuesday, 29 October 2019 | Kim

Just a short update now we are really into the run up to Christmas - although we had a great buying trip in Turkey a few weeks ago, we are still waiting for everything to be made and shipped so we will be in touch when that arrives.

We couldn't resist this little cat "Pasha" who helped us choose!

In the meantime, our Ottoman Earrings have been made and have arrived and we wanted to get a great selection onto our website including the new designs. We have also added some lovely hand embroidered Suzani Embroideries and a small but beautiful selection of Rugs. Check out our Latest Arrivals Section HERE to see them. Our main delivery of Kilims, Poufs, Cushions & Lamps will arrive in due course.

Turkish Buying Trip News

We know people like to be updated when there is any news, no matter how small, so this is what we have been up to over the last couple of months...

We have been off on a small buying trip to Turkey which was also a family visit which meant we could pick up a small stock of the wonderful wool patiks that Mahmut's mum makes for us, here is a picture of her making them - CLICK IMAGE TO SEE VIDEO OF MUM MAKING THEM ON INSTAGRAM!

(Socks are in limited supply but call 01273 671900 or email us for info)

We also stocked up on our lovely Boxwood Spoons - All Hand made and individual. The Wood Bazaar is an amazing place to wonder around and we just wish we had space for those lovely bowls, but we had to leave them behind! See our Spoon section here - prices start at £2.95.

Oh and the cat was tired of playing with string!!

We were also very short on our gorgeous hand painted ceramics so made a visit to our supplier and selected a great stock of bowls, mugs, hotplates and coasters. These are not on our website Im afraid but they are in our Brighton Shop, if you would like more info do get in touch by calling 01273 671900 or emailing us.

Our Gold Plated Ottoman Earrings have also been very popular over the years; we have artisans making them for us in Turkey and whilst on this buying trip we picked up the beautiful new pieces they had waiting for us, here is an example of what they are like - We have some on our website here or please call us on 01273 671900 or email us if you would like more info/section. Prices from £15 a pair.

These Uzbek Silk Ikat Bags are so beautiful, soft and padded - very glamourous for the evening! At £25 each they are available if you contact us on 01273 671900 or by email. We can send you images of each individual piece.

Last, but not least, we have started up cycling old footstools into stunning Turkish Kilim Footstools, we are only making a few at a time, but here is an example of what they are like, each piece will be individual - they are not on our website but you can contact us on 01273 671900 or email us for more info.

After all that work buying and finding gorgeous items for our shop we were ready for some tasty Turkish food and dessert!

This is a famous Dessert straight from the oven called Kunefe.

Carpet & Rug Photography

Sunday, 27 January 2019 | Kim

Now with all the festivities far behind us we have been planning and getting ready for the year ahead. Our first job after New Year was to test out a new space we have taken on for photographing our products. To photograph rugs you need lots of room and this new space was ideal, especially with the lovely rustic light wood floorboards which makes a great backdrop for our Carpets & Kilims. After we photograph each piece we bring them into our Brighton shop priced and ready for sale. Here are some images of the work in progress:

Here are some examples of the items we have taken images of in the new space, we are always striving to improve our images, so don't judge us too harshly!

(All these new items are in the Latest Arrivals Section of our Website)
