Karavan

You will have fun looking at culture. All the art and decorations will inspire you. They have shoes to hanging lamps.

Very colorful gifts.Great shop for browsing for unique gifts and souvenirs, as well as home decor.I bought a very colorful journal with a royal blue patterned cover. Had such a difficult time choosing between blue, green, pink and many other colors. There were several journals in each color but with different colored trim and different designs; each one seemed to be one of a kind. Friendly owner.

Ok I am obsessed with this store, though I haven't bought a lot of things from here. It has been on High St for decades(?)-- before all the other boutiques and cool shops, Karavan was there amongst the art galleries that were once only speckled throughout the Short North. I loved it even as a teenager walking by with my friends.From the window, you are dazzled by a plethora of gorgeous glass mosaic lamps and jewelry, which is enough to make you want to come inside.The interior is colorful in every direction you look. They have everything from handmade clothing to hand-woven rugs, plus other beautiful home decor items. Recently I found out that if you purchase one of their mosaic globe lamps, the owner will allow you to bring the glass back and switch it out for a different color of globe whenever you want! Literally amazing. It's like the lamp that keeps on giving. I'm working towards my next big goal so I can justify buying one for myself as a reward because they aren't cheap, but they look to be worth every penny. Love Karavan!

Coming back here to update my review after I had a wonderful customer experience with the staff. In my initial review I mentioned that I took off one star because the wallet I purchased broke within hours of buying it. Well the owner sent me a message and said he would be happy to exchange it for me. I was still using the broken wallet with rubber bands to hold it together so I was elated and made a point to swing by.When I arrived the process was seamless and the owner remembered our exchange. He even let me keep the broken wallet so I didn't need to empty everything out and switch it to the new one in the store. Seriously, this was awesome and memorable. I'll be sure to continue supporting them not only because they have really cool stuff, but because they really care about their customers. Bravo, round of applause, highest of fives, all the good things.Seriously, this place has a ton of amazing gift items, great stocking stuffers around the holidays, etc. Don't hesitate to pay them a visit.

I gasped when I walked into this store, I couldn't believe how beautiful it was. Everything was so colorful, bright and there was so much to look at. They had everything you could imagine. Lots of jewelry, shoes and household items. Prices seemed really reasonable and the employees were very friendly. Really cool place to check out!

This store is absolutely breathtaking! They have the coolest items. They have beautiful rings and the owner is so nice! They give out good luck charms with your purchase!

This store was a hidden gem. We were just perusing high street when we happened upon here. They have wonderfully priced pashmina scarves. Their ceramic ware is beautifully painted. What really catches your eye is the lighting. The store is covered in ornate chandeliers that really catch your eye from a distance. This place is great for any gift giving. Everything is absolutely gorgeous and there is something for every price point. From inexpensive pretty magnets for a teacher to handmade leather satchels that can run you up a hundred or two.

We shop here as often as possible. My sister from FL has me FaceTime her-every single time..to pick out her earrings! I love this shop-it takes me to another place. Your earrings will be the topic of conversation and beautifully unique! The owner is the SWEETEST man. He makes you TURKISH coffee, teas and treats you like you're in his home! Once, made my husband a drink while we shopped! I can't say enough. Just support this establishment and enjoy the cultural beauty.

One of the most unique stores in Columbus, and for that, I throughly enjoy shopping there. They have a large selection of quality handmade shoes/boots, jewelry, bags, clothing and household items made in Turkey. They have new items frequently and the owners are kind and knowledgeable. If you want something different than what you can find in other local stores, it's definitely worth stopping in!

I walked into Karavan, on cold , horrible storm. The lovely couple, who ran store, helped me tremendously, bought beautiful, Turkish fish, as a present for my sister. They took the time to educate me on Turkish plate. They bubble wrapped, took time and care, also gentleman owner gave me good luck charms.They work!Please shop in this exotic store, I return in May, my first stop, Karavan
