About us

At Alfombras de Estambul, we believe that a rug is more than just a floor covering — it is a story woven in wool, a symbol of culture, and a lasting piece of art. Founded in the heart of Istanbul’s historic district, our boutique was born from a simple idea: to share the beauty of authentic Turkish rugs with the world, while offering a shopping experience rooted in honesty, hospitality, and heritage.


A Tradition That Lives On

Every carpet we offer is a bridge between past and present. Handcrafted by skilled artisans across Anatolia, our rugs reflect centuries-old techniques, traditional motifs, and regional styles that have survived through generations.

We work directly with weavers and families in villages throughout Turkey — not only to ensure quality and authenticity, but to help preserve a cultural legacy.


Why Choose Us?

There are many carpet shops in Istanbul, but Alfombras de Estambul is different:

  • 🧵 Curated with Care – Every piece is hand-selected for its quality, character, and craftsmanship

  • 🌍 International Expertise – We speak English, Spanish, and Turkish to serve customers from around the globe

  • 🧾 100% Authentic – Handmade, certified, and ethically sourced

  • 💬 No Pressure, Just Guidance – We take the time to educate, not just sell

  • ✈️ Worldwide Shipping – Professionally packed and insured delivery to your door


A Boutique with a Personal Touch

We’re a small, independent business — not a tourist trap or souvenir shop. When you step into our gallery, you’re not just buying a rug. You’re experiencing a piece of Turkey’s soul. Many of our customers become lifelong friends, returning again or sending their families.

Whether you're a first-time buyer or a seasoned collector, we’ll help you find the perfect rug — one that fits your space, your taste, and your story.
