The city's shopping scene just got even better.
Of all the things Istanbul is known for, being a really, really good luxury shopping destination isn’t one that’s talked about enough. And the city’s retail scene just got another upgrade. COMMUNITÉ, the multi-brand retail concept developed by Turkish retail group Boyner, has just celebrated the opening of its second Istanbul location at Galataport, bringing fashion, beauty, wellness, art and design together under one roof.
This isn’t your typical department store either. COMMUNITÉ takes a fresh approach to shopping, mixing established luxury brands with emerging designers while spotlighting local Turkish talent. With over 400 brands in its selection, you can expect to find everything from Comme des Garçons, JW Anderson, Wales Bonner and Dries Van Noten to Auralee, Paloma Wool and Willy Chavarria, alongside Turkish labels including Nackiye and Anim.
Beauty, grooming and lifestyle lovers can also get a good dose of retail therapy in-store, with names such as Maison Francis Kurkdjian, La Mer and Creed, while the home and décor departments include design pieces from Lalique and Georg Jensen. Spread across several floors, the store also features Il Gattopardo, an Italian restaurant perfect for a pre- or post-shopping meal.
