Frommer's Review

The newest of the nonprofit embroidery shops, Melia offers many beautiful traditional pieces, as well as some imaginative decorative items. In addition to the classic divan pillowcases, I especially liked a dramatically embroidered mirror frame as well as designer-embroidered women's jackets and embroidered T-shirts. There is also a selection of Western-style tablecloths and embroideries. Here, as in the other shops, the pieces with naturally dyed thread are the richest and most beautiful.
