Dear Diary,
During our Turkey holiday, we didn’t just visit historical
places but we also visited a few places that specialize in manufacturing
merchandises. Like on our third day in Turkey, after visiting House of Virgin
Mary, we were brought to Kircilar Leather Art. It is a leather factory outlet.
Boy, we were in for a big surprise.
After we were ushered inside and comfortably seated, lights
were dimmed and loud music started blaring from hidden speakers. Then, one by
one gorgeous models paraded on a walkway in front of us displaying beautiful
leather jackets. Tea was served to us while we watched the fashion show. At one
point, two people from the audiences were asked to become models too. One of them
was my brother in law, Dan, and the other one was a Chinese lady. It was both
fun and entertaining.

Leather samples
After the fashion show ended, we proceeded to their show
room in which we were given a brief explanation about the company and its
leather production. There are all sorts of leather wears and jackets on
display. Everything looks elegant and chic. But after some calculations, we
realized that their products are expensive. We can get cheaper leather jackets
with the same quality back home. Bear in mind, the transaction is in US
dollars.
I did some online research about this company. Apparently,
Kircilar is a well established company and is famous for its leather products
not only in Turkey but also overseas.

Rostina76 - Insya Allah, amin. Saya pun kalau ada rezeki nak gi lagi istanbul. Trip hari tu kami tak betul-betul explore the city. Memang kalau kira-kira balik, blh dpt lebih murah same quality kat tempat lain.
In March 2017, I was also brought in the Leatherart Shop in Izmir.
Starting with leather wears fashion show while hot Apple Tea was served.
Later I moved into the main shop among racks of different designs of leather wears. Finally I was advised to a black lamb jacket and irresistable to try one on.
With best price compromising with the big man of the shop, I brought one back home in Bangkok.
I think I am happy, having it for my cold wind attire.
