CARPETS

 

Matis Carpets from QualitaTurkey on Vimeo.

Our Shopping tours take you on an extravagant and eccentric journey across Istanbul, in search of the finest clothes, carpets, and jewelry. Matis, located on Istanbul’s beautiful Golden Horn, is one of the best stops on your shopping excursion. We stopped by the famed carpet and jewelry shop for a first hand look at their hand-woven rugs and their dazzling jewelry. In creating their rugs, Matis employs traditional techniques, such as Turkish double knotting, and hand-weaving on a loom. The painstaking process spans months to weave a single rug, resulting in some of the finest and most unique carpets in all of Istanbul.
