Get in touch with usThis was the very first article ever published about Jennifer’s Hamam — a winter 2009 feature in the Today’s Zaman - travel section - written by travel writer Pat Yale.
Back when guidebooks and weekend papers were still the traveler’s lifeline, this piece helped introduce Jennifer’s vision to the world. It captured not only the launch of the shop in Arasta Bazaar but also the challenge of finding true weaving in a market saturated by fakes.
“Canadian-born Jennifer Gaudet is the only female trader in the Arasta Bazaar beside the Blue Mosque…”
Pat’s warmth and curiosity shine through the piece, and her voice gave early credibility to what was then a brand-new business built around an endangered art.
We’re honored to share the original article below (which is no longer available online), preserved in full — a snapshot of where it all began.
