The best fashion and gift stores Tashkent

This boutique-gallery created by Lola Saif is a real cultural center dedicated to Uzbek crafts and contemporary creation. Human House collaborates with more than 200 craftsmen and creators from all over the country, handpicked for their know-how and whose production can be found here. No factory-made or mediocre object passes through the doors of Human House. Decorative objects, furniture, clothing and shoes, everyone will find something to their liking in this laboratory of good taste. Frequent masterclasses, openings and events for young and old.

Kanishka is the emblem of contemporary fashion in Tashkent. In this traditional Uzbek-style shop, you will find the creations of this young Uzbek designer, best known for his leather accessories (bags, wallets, belts) and graphic t-shirts whose designs are based in turn on traditional nomadic designs or Uzbek ikats. The shop is not indicated and there is no reason to suspect that this building is open for visits, but do not hesitate. Make a phone call before your visit so we can open you up.

Take the road along the Koukeldach Madrassah and turn into the first aisle on the left. Here you will find all the souvenir shops to complete your gifts. This alley leads to a kind of court. It overlooks a covered hall on the left where all the fabric stands, workmanship and tchapan are grouped. Here, at Stand 14, you will find the best selection of adras and atlas of the market, for a more easily marketable price than in the craft centre for tourists near the large market hall.

Take the road along the Kukeldach Madrasah and turn into the first alley on the left. This alley leads to some kind of courtyard. It opens onto a covered hall on the left where all the stands of fabrics, clothing and chapan, traditional Uzbek coats are grouped together. At stand 10, Mamoura offers a wide selection of chapans, both for men and women: the traditional velvet chapan, of course, but also the striped chapans in shimmering colours. Mamoura's tough but just business. Hang on and negotiate dry!

This art gallery opened in 2017 offers a very nice collection of products from all over the country (mainly artists' paintings but also ceramics, designer dresses...). We will find functional objects of everyday life, others purely decorative, some having been revisited to stick to the tastes or customs of the 21st century and it is rather successful overall. There are also many paintings with a slightly more mitigated invoice. We stroll with pleasure in this gallery where we finally get a glimpse of many things.

The Tashkent flea market is known to locals as Tezykovka. It contains just about everything that can exist under the sun. From busts of Stalin to traditional silk scarves, from American military surpluses to posters announcing the creation of Uzbek shows in Parisian cafés at the beginning of the century, cameras, animals, old bills... But also miles of cables, pipes, broken things, tools of all kinds. You don't choose your route, you're carried by the crowd.
