How Bazaar
Step into How Bazaar and prepare for an explosion of colour, pattern and sparkle! Run by Metin and Tracey, this vibrant independent shop brings a beautiful taste of Turkey to the heart of Durham, with an eye-catching collection of homewares, gifts, accessories and traditional Turkish treasures.
Perhaps the first things to catch your eye are the spectacular Turkish mosaic lamps. Made from intricate pieces of coloured glass, these beautiful lamps create a warm, jewel-like glow and are as much decorative art as they are a source of light. With an array of colours, patterns, shapes and sizes to discover, they make a stunning statement in any home – and a wonderfully unusual gift.
But the lamps are just the beginning. How Bazaar is packed with hand-painted Turkish ceramics, from beautifully decorated bowls and dishes to colourful pieces that bring Turkey’s distinctive patterns and artistry into your home. You’ll also discover throws and rugs, decorative ornaments and plenty of other gorgeous finds to add colour and character to your space.
Looking for something you can wear? Browse the selection of jewellery and accessories, along with distinctive kilim-weave bags that incorporate the rich colours and traditional woven patterns for which Turkish textiles are renowned. And, of course, there are the unmistakable Fez hats – because How Bazaar is certainly not somewhere you’ll find the same old things you see everywhere else!
How Bazaar offers something refreshingly different and is a treasure trove for anyone who loves colourful interiors, globally inspired décor, traditional craftsmanship, and gifts with personality.
Whether you’re searching for a show-stopping mosaic lamp, a splash of colour for your home, an unusual present for someone special or simply fancy a browse somewhere completely different, take your time and have a good look around – there are treasures tucked into every corner.
Colourful, characterful and unmistakably How Bazaar – it’s a little slice of Turkey right here in Durham Market Hall.
