Cashmere Shawls
Shawls from Istanbul's Grand Bazaar — since 1968
Cashmere is among the most coveted natural fibres in the world — prized for its extraordinary softness, warmth without weight, and the way it ages beautifully with wear. At Gülipek Hamit Fırat we have offered cashmere shawls since the 1970s, building a selection that spans a wide range of weights, weaves, and patterns. To learn more about the house, read our story.
Our Range
Our shawls include solid-colour wraps in seasonal palettes, reversible two-tone pieces, and traditional embroidered or printed designs suited to both formal occasions and everyday luxury. Large square shawls, long wraps, and lighter cashmere scarves are all part of the collection. If you are also looking for silk, our silk scarf collection is equally broad.
- Pure cashmere shawls — solid colours and seasonal palettes
- Traditional hand-woven shawls in fine grades
- Reversible two-tone wraps
- Embroidered and printed designs
- Lightweight cashmere scarves for all seasons
For International Visitors
For visitors from Europe and North America, our cashmere pieces are among the most practical things to bring home — lightweight, easy to pack, and impossible to find at the same quality outside of specialist markets. We welcome visitors who are looking to browse at their own pace, as well as those with specific requirements. See our three store locations and opening hours.
All three of our Grand Bazaar stores carry our cashmere range. Open Monday to Saturday, 09:00–18:30. Enquiries by email, phone, or WhatsApp are warmly welcome.
VISITOR QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I wash and care for a cashmere shawl?
Hand-wash in cool water with a gentle wool or cashmere detergent, rinse without wringing, and lay flat on a clean towel to dry. For heavily embroidered or embellished pieces, dry-cleaning is recommended. Store folded — never hung — to preserve the shape.
Can I order and have a shawl shipped to the US or Europe?
We currently sell exclusively in person at our Grand Bazaar stores. For international enquiries please email us at info@gulipekhamitfirat.com or reach us via WhatsApp and we will do our best to assist with any special request.
Do you accept credit cards, or is it cash only?
We accept cash in Turkish lira, euros, and US dollars. Credit and debit card payments are also accepted at all three of our Beyazıt stores.
