Istanbul has long been known as a crossroads of Asia, linking the ancient East with the modern West. TribalSource serves as the modern day equivalent of the renowned Grand Bazaar of Istanbul, a place of trade on the internet where nearly every type of textile and tribal weaving can be found, where only the actual smells and sounds of the bustling marketplace are missing.

TribalSourceserves as a unique extension of the Istanbul based gallery, offering pieces which are already located in the United States, eliminating the problems involved with international shipping, customs regulations, etc., serving the interests of collectors in the West who have not had the opportunity to regularly travel to Istanbul.
