  • Why Visit?: Tucked away in the artistic streets of Karaköy, Kağıthane Houseofpaper is an absolute paradise for stationery lovers and design enthusiasts. Founded by a graphic designer, this brilliant concept store transforms everyday paper into witty art pieces, offering unconventional, beautifully illustrated Istanbul-themed souvenirs that you won't find anywhere else.

  • What to Do?: Browse through their quirky collection of notebooks, playing cards, coasters, and posters that playfully celebrate Istanbul's local culture, stray cats, and street vendors. It’s the ultimate spot to pick up a truly authentic and artistic gift.

  • Insider Tip: Don’t just skim the main counters; explore the back shelves for limited-edition designer sketchbooks and retro city maps. Also, buying a few of their larger, beautifully illustrated postcards and framing them back home is a fantastic, budget-friendly way to create custom wall art.

  • Neden Gitmeli?: Karaköyâ€™ĂŒn tasarım kokan sokaklarında yer alan Kağıthane Houseofpaper, kırtasiye ve özgĂŒn tasarım meraklıları için tam anlamıyla bir vaha. Grafik tasarım odaklı bu yaratıcı dĂŒkkan, kağıdı sanata dönĂŒĆŸtĂŒrerek İstanbul’un yerel kĂŒltĂŒrĂŒnĂŒ, simitçilerini ve kedilerini esprili, sıra dıßı ve estetik illĂŒstrasyonlarla bulußturuyor.

  • Ne Yapmalı?: Klasik ve tekdĂŒze turistik hatıralardan sıkıldıysanız; ßehrin ruhunu taßıyan eğlenceli defterleri, orijinal iskambil kartlarını, posterleri ve magnetleri keßfedin. Kendinize veya sevdiklerinize sanatsal değeri olan özgĂŒn bir İstanbul hatırası seçin.

  • Lokal İpucu (Insider Tip): Sadece göz önĂŒndeki stantlarla yetinmeyin; dĂŒkkanın kuytu kĂ¶ĆŸelerindeki sınırlı ĂŒretim tasarımcı eskiz defterlerine ve retro İstanbul haritalarına mutlaka göz atın. Ayrıca beğendiğiniz bĂŒyĂŒk boy illĂŒstrasyonlu kartpostallardan birkaç tane alıp evinizde çerçeveleterek çok ßık ve ekonomik duvar tabloları elde edebilirsiniz.
