Istanbul Textile
Istanbul is a city that sits on both the European and the Asian halves of Turkey. After a semi-organic growth due to domestic migration in the 1950s, Istanbul has been considered a melting pot of culture and diversity, which is apparent in its art and products including Istanbul textile. In the 1990s, it had been defined as a city that could stand with the likes of London, Tokyo, or even New York. Istanbul textile is known to be comfortable and beautiful, featuring rich and vibrant colors. Some are even hand-woven and you can literally feel the quality. They can be made into spectacular scarves, bathrobes, dresses and kaftans. Turkey is home to many international companies in the textile sector, and it’s no surprise that Istanbul is at the center of the country’s fashion culture. Efforts to promote Istanbul as a fashion city resulted in malls opening in the early 2000s, along with fashion and textile fairs. Events such as Istanbul Fashion Week and Vogue’s Fashion Night Out brought Turkey’s designers and textile manufacturers together.
