Turkey, Anatolia Region

Oct 1, 2011
2011 / October 2011

The Anatolia region of Turkey is home to the legendary city of Troy. Atelier Minyon designer Alp Sagnak brings that historic influence to the innovative, edgy pieces in the Truva collection (“Truva” is the Turkish name for Troy). Inspired by Trojan warriors’ shields, the collection features 24-carat gold wire with 18-carat gold accents. The pendant is adorned with an emerald and diamonds and has an 18-carat white gold chain. Truva Emerald and Diamond Necklace, $5,400. http://www.atelierminyon.com

This silk/cotton blend scarf adds bright, modern, Middle Eastern flair perfect for any season. The 70-inch-long by 25-inch-wide scarf features a sheer and fabric panel design. It is handmade in Turkey through Beleza, which only employs fair trade practices. Scarves are available in more than 15 colors; email .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

for current color availability. Fair Trade Women’s Silk Scarves, $38. www.shopbeleza.com

Turkey has an 8,000-year history of creating ceramics, and today’s finds are often just as richly decorated — and coveted — as ancient pieces. This handmade, handpainted plate features an Islamic floral design similar to those popular during the Ottoman Empire. Turkish Ceramic Plate, about $82. www.bazaarhouse.co.uk

After enjoying Turkey’s famed baths, travelers are handed a lightweight, often beautifully patterned pestemal for drying off. The traditional towels are gaining popularity here in the United States as an eco-alternative to thick terrycloth. The absorbent, thin fabric means longer stretches between full laundry bins, plus it is quick-drying. More imaginative users see them as perfect shawls, throws, picnic blankets and more. Herbal Silk Pestemal, about $73. www.bazaarhouse.co.uk
