January, 2023 Bought a Leather Jacket (Calf Hide) with amazing grains.
After Florence - Italy, Istanbul is known for producing high quality leather jackets. Before visiting Istabul I had done some research as to best places to buy Leather jackets. And Prens was on my list to visit.
Before going to them I had spend two days touring Istanbul and checking out Leather jackets(Grand Bazar and Taksim). And I couldn't get myself to find one piece which spoke to me like the one I found in Florence. (I have already been to Florence and own an Lamb Hide Bomber Jacket). So I continued my search, on my last day in the city I visited Prens to checkout Jackets.
I don't remember the name of the person who attened me but he started showing me around and we started sampling jackets. I Being from India the gentleman showing me around started talking about Bollywood and Movies. It was an interesting discussion.
I was very clear about the jacket I was looking for something with natural/non-machine polish (not too shiny) and with with amazing grains. And a little thick then Lamb Jackets. And of course in my budget.
We narrowed down to two jackets, and both them were way beyond my budget. After finalizing on the one which appealed to me the most, I discussed pricing.
They were very considerate as I was a serious buyer, and offered me a generous discount.
I would definitely visit again and recommend everyone to check their products out.
I had narrow down on the following two options (Pic 2 & 3) is the jacket which I bought.
