Cihangir’s Atölye Mariposa just opened a new store in Nişantaşı for all the faux-vintage lovers. The concept of the new store is the same as the one in Cihangir and the inventory is quite similar. Atölye Mariposa is a boutique store so most pieces don’t come in multiple numbers. Therefore, you may not find the same object in both stores. In fact, Atölye Mariposa brings only one of each clothing item, which is great news for those with a unique personal style. Keep in mind that they carry mostly small and medium sizes.

This vintage-inspired store sells objects from France and clothes from England, as well as dresses designed by owner Banu Ones. Only the armchairs and chandeliers are second-hand; everything else in the store is brand new with a retro feel. The inventory includes notepads, bags, purses, boxes, bowls, vases, cups, and much much more. They even sell soap dishes and toothbrush holders.

If you’re in the Nişantaşı area and want to get something cool for yourself or a friend, now you know where to go.
