MATERIALS & CRAFT

Look closer.

Pattern is only the beginning. Fibre, weave, embroidery, finish and the hand of the cloth determine how a textile feels, wears and endures. We help visitors understand those differences in person.

THE HOUSE

A house shaped by textiles.

Founded in Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar in 1968, Gülipek Hamit Fırat is a family textile house — selecting shawls, embroidered textiles and rare one-of-a-kind pieces for material, technique and character.
