cocoon was established in 1995 by Mustafa Gokhan Demir and quickly made a name in the international antique carpet and textile business, offering quality rugs, flatweaves, textiles from Central Asia as well as Persia and Anatolia to collectors throughout the world as well as catering to the tourist trade in Istanbul.  Located in the historic Arasta Bazaar, in the shadows of the Blue Mosque of the Sultan Ahmet district of Istanbul and  cocoon has grown with larger show room spaces adjacent to the Arasta Bazaar - Sultanahmet Kucukayasofya Street No:19.

A couple of years ago, cocoon expanded its interests into the world of design and fashion. With an amazing array of colour and original designs for hats, hand bags, jewellery and other accessories hand crafted from felt, cocoon has quickly made a name in the international design and fashion markets from ...New York throughout Europe. The original designs and quality of the materials and workmanship have expanded the horizons of designers and retailers around the world.
