Day 10 – Tok-i Telpakfurushon: Where Tradition Meets the Crow🙂💛

Today marked the 10th day of our internship, and we were honored to visit one of the most colorful and culturally rich domes of Bukhara — the Tok-i Telpakfurushon, or the Dome of the Hat Sellers 🧡💫.

As we entered the dome, we were greeted by rows of traditional Uzbek hats — from doppi to turban-style headwear, from fur-lined caps to intricately embroidered pieces that reflect the soul of a people 💛🔥. Each hat, each stitch, seemed to carry the wisdom of generations 🤍🕊️.

Accompanying us once again were Mohichehra Temirovna and our wonderful guest Colton, whose thoughtful observations and genuine curiosity added so much to today’s journey 🥰😍. Their shared perspectives helped us see this place not just as a market, but as a living museum of Bukhara’s fashion identity 💫🙃.

Mohichehra Temirovna explained how headwear played a central role in Uzbek culture — indicating not only style, but also age, region, social status, and even religious beliefs 🤩🕊️. The Telpakfurushon Dome was more than just a shop — it was the style capital of Central Asia at its time 😌🔥.

Colton admired how the domed design provided the perfect light and structure for hatmakers to display their artwork. Hats were hung up high, catching the natural light from the central skylight, making each piece glow with beauty and pride ⭐💥.

We even imagined how long ago, travelers on the Silk Road might stop here for a new hat — not just for fashion, but as a way to belong, to connect with local identity, and to protect themselves on the dusty road ahead 💛🫠.

Walking through the dome, we were touched by the colors, textures, and conversations. The hats may be smaller than other items sold in Bukhara’s bazaars, but their cultural weight is enormous 💫🤍.

Tok-i Telpakfurushon reminded us that clothing is not just what we wear — it’s what we carry from the past into the future 🧡. In these hats, we saw pride, craftsmanship, meaning, and memory.

Today we didn’t just explore a market — we explored a cultural crown, placed carefully on the head of a proud nation 💛🔥. It’s incredible how such a small item can say so much — about who we are, where we come from, and what we value.

As we stepped out, I couldn’t help but feel inspired — by the elegance, the history, and the hands that still keep these traditions alive 💥🥰

Thank you for your attention!🥰
