Would you like to buy a t-shirt for only 1 lira in İstanbul?
Have you ever seen the cheapest bazaar in istanbul?
Nowadays, because of the economical problems in Türkiye and living global energy crisis due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine also the pandemic circumstances, everything is so expensive and many people can't afford to buy something they need, such as dresses, clothes, furniture stuff, etc.
Although all of these problems we have, Salı Bazaar is a very good hero for people who live in Istanbul. This place where in Kadıköy Hasanpaşa district, have a range of different style of people who comes from a different area of İstanbul, so when you visit here you can see the diversity of people.
If you don't want to give one thousand or hundreds of liras to expensive stores, you have to go to this bazaar and discover all of the things that are being sold for one, five, ten, or twenty. This bazaar is more affordable than the store and other bazaars in Istanbul.
I adore antique and authentic stuff and it makes me feel like living in the past and also traveling with a time machine, so I bought these cute vases for just five Lira.
These hats are as you see not one hundred or ninety guys, it is only five Lira. If you love wearing a stylish hat as decor for your outfit, exactly you have to buy different kinds of them.
The sellers of Salı Bazaar are very kindful and sincere. You can communicate with them easily so sometimes they may give you free something as a gift like this cutest and most nostalgic wallet :)
I believe that second-hand is the future of shopping because the increasing energy crisis and the importance of sustainability show us that we need to decrease spending on energy sources. Also, another advantage of second-hand and shopping from the bazaar is that you can have your style which only you design. You can create your outfit fashion style how you want. Especially that makes you feel free and you can wear without being an addict to any brand, boutique, store, etc.
As a result, Salı Bazaar is the best option for me to shop, not only being cheap and affordable but also carrying the nostalgia and including second-hand stuff.
