Where else can you find shirts and skirts for 20 TRY, coats and jackets for 90-120 TRY and pullovers for 30-80 TRY? It is shopping time!
2) Pied de Poule, Çukurcuma
Pied de Poule is one of the little known vintage stores of Çukurcuma even though it was mentioned in Wallpaper, New York Times, Financial Times and many other reputable newspapers, as well as various fashion programs on tv! The owner of Pied de Poule, Şelale Gültekin, had started this ‘old-fashioned’ business with her grandmother’s clothes and now the result is Pied de Poule! Keep in mind to see her hat collection of 300 pieces and the special lingerie and corsets of the store!
3) Evvel Zaman İçinde (Eleni Vintage Galata), Beyoğlu
Madame Eleni’s vintage temple! If you’d like to time travel to France of 1920’s, head to Serdar’ı Ekrem Street of Galata where you will find Evvel Zaman İçinde.

Moreover, My Pera is one of the few places where you’d find retro products of reputable brands such as Gucci, Armani, Versace and Dolce Gabbana.
5) Closet Circuit, Çukurcuma
Closet Circuit is different! As a second hand shop, Closet Circuit takes the clothes you’re not using, that you just couldn’t give away and occupy tons of space in your wardrobe and helps them find new owners who’d wear them every day! All for a sustainable lifestyle!
Owner of this store used to be a shopaholic who decided to get rid of all of her unnecessary clothes one day. She then noticed that it is not just her, but many people have the same wish. Inspired by Permaculture principles, she opened Closet Circuit and created a closet circuit! The prices vary between 20 TRY and 250 TRY. Plus, there is a vegetarian cafe in its backyard!
6) Mozk Vintage Shop, Cihangir
Another hidden beauty in Cihangir district! Mozk’s attraction starts with its tempting display case and imprisons you with its special pieces. Mozk differs among other vintage shops with its truly antique pieces that are quite hard to find so it is a bit more pricey. Enjoy the fantabulous hats and glasses. Each piece is specially picked by the owners of the store Selda Bola & Berk Özkanlı who are big fans of British style!
7) Bin Bavul Vintage, Galata
What comes up to your mind when we say retro? Whatever that is, you can find it in a stylish store named Bin Bavul (A Thousand Luggages). While going down to Galata Tower, you’ll notice a stone path. That path will lead you to a time travel machine called Bin Bavul 😉
