During my visit to this mall, I saw the presence of various brands such as Calvin Klein, Benetton, Louis Vuitton, Mango and Benetton, which were located on 4 floors. Some Turkish brands like LC Waikiki also have branches in this shopping centre.

The most famous place to buy clothes in Istanbul

Baghdad Street and Istiklal Street are two of the most famous streets in Istanbul that every tourist who travels to Istanbul likes to visit. I also visited these streets many times during my stay in Istanbul.

On the sides of these two streets, different shops sell different models of clothes.

The first time I visited Istiklal Street, which is on the European side, I was really surprised because there were both luxury and cheap clothes shops on this street.

I visited the Beyoglu business center, which was located on this street and opposite the Koton shop, to buy cheap clothes, and the next day, I went to the Zara shop, which is one of the biggest Zara shops in Istanbul, to buy party clothes.

Baghdad Street is like Istiklal Street, but it is on the Asian side. I saw many famous brands and cheap shops on this street.

Special clothing stores in Istanbul

I am very interested in special clothes, that’s why I am trying to find the most special boutiques in that city and compare them.

Bey Karaköy boutique

Bey Karaköy boutique

Bey Karaköy is one of the best clothing stores in Istanbul but for men. The large windows of Bey Karaköy were designed to give a spectacular view from the outside. The minimal decor inside this shop gave me a sense of peace when I entered there. At Bey Karaköy, there was a variety of men’s clothing, jeans, shoes, bow ties, and ties, and a variety of items to suit any style, but at a high price.

Museum of Fine Clothing Boutique

The Museum of Fine Clothing, located in Atiye Sokak in Nisantashi district, caught my attention at first glance with its special design. After I went inside, I was faced with a paradise of beautiful clothes. Beautiful clothes, high-quality fabrics, and clean stitching are the characteristics of this boutique’s clothes. If you are looking for a dress for a party, this boutique is for you as one of the best clothing stores in Istanbul.

Tips you should know before buying clothes in Istanbul

If, like me, you are looking for quality clothes but don’t want to pay a lot of money to buy clothes, get to know cheap local brands in Turkey and buy from them.

There are many cheap brands in Istanbul, some of which I have listed below:

Koton Mavi Zara
LC Waikiki Defacto Ipekyol

The most important thing to remember when buying clothes in Istanbul is to bargain with the sellers. According to my experience, you can get good discounts by bargaining with sellers who have shops in the bazaar and are not representative of a particular brand. Still, when buying from famous brands, you cannot get discounts even by bargaining.

If you want to buy cheap clothes, be sure to check all parts of the clothes before paying so that you don’t purchase defective garments. In my experience, some defective clothes are sold at a lower price to entice people to buy them.

Final word

Since Istanbul is a city with many shops and malls, it will satisfy everyone with every taste. Be sure that there will be something that you will like on your trip to Istanbul, so be sure to travel to this city with a pocket full of money and enjoy shopping.
