    Are there any designer stores in Istanbul where knock-offs are not sold but the real item are? stores like prada, LV, gucci, fendi, etc? I remember when we went to italy and fracne, everything was cheaper than here in america, I was thinking because of the taxes to ship it overseas and such. is it cheaper in turkey too?

    There are plenty of boutiques and "real" merchandise in Turkey. I always
    plan a trip every year just to shop. But do not send it unless it it is a large item shipping might be too complicated. Do what I do travel with empty suitcase and return with them filled. I live in New York so trust me I know the
    tricks.

    just shop until you drop

    There is another thing I know. I'm not sure about it, but you might just want to google it. If you ship something to yourself from another country, you don't really have to pay any tax. Oh, by the way, there are lot's of real things(!) in Turkey
