I had the BEST experience buying a stool and pillow shams. Ruth was so communicative and helpful the entire process and I am amazed how fast they arrived (less than a week!). When one of the shams was out of stock, she sent me pictures of other options and helped me choose. I live in an apartment with other roommates but cannot wait for my own place to get more rugs, poufs, and pillow shams.…

I have been living in Turkey for the past 10 years, and I never had the courage to stop into a carpet store, until we stumbled upon Tribal Collections! The colors and the presentation of the rugs from the outside, sucked me into the store! And I’m so extremely happy we went in!! We met Ruth Lockwood and she just impressed us right off the bat! Her love of textures and her knowledge is one of a kind. My husband is Turkish, and Ruth taught him so much about the beautiful carpets that he had no idea about! The whole experiences as educational and so interesting! Ruth is so down to earth and pressure free! That the entire experience was amazing! We are so happy that we were able to buy our first Turkish carpet from Ruth! And we look forward to the next! Thanks again Ruth! We can’t wait to come back!…

I first met Ruth 15 years ago, on my trip through turkey. At the time I purchased a carpet from her and it still is beautiful. Over the years I’ve sent my family when they happen to tour through turkey. Ruth is extremely accommodating and has sent me numerous pictures via email trying to find the perfect thing that I wanted to buy. Somehow, I managed to buy a donkey bag over email and have my mother ship it home. My mother purchased a beautiful antique carpet while buying my donkey bag. I have now, during Covid, taken advantage of Ruth’s online store. Through many pictures, did I mention Ruth is very very patient, I have been purchasing some beautiful pillows to go on my new couch. I cannot recommend Ruth enough ! She is extremely honest and is very knowledgable. She is so very friendly and there is never any pressure. …

We first met Ruth about 20 years ago in Turkey. Her determination and knowledge were impressive then, and I was so glad to get in touch with her again when I decided to do some shopping on her website.Ruth is very knowledgeable, has offered great suggestions, and has kept me in touch regarding my order until it shipped. No one should have any hesitation about shopping at her store, either online or in person. Thank you, Ruth!…

We visited Ruth's shop while staying near Goreme, but just intended to have a quick look and a quick chat about carpets as we were buying some and also wanting to learn more. It was the best side trip we made. Not only was Ruth hospitable and ready to give us her time, she was generous in helping us to understand more, patient with our questions, and wise in her advice. Several hours later we left blessed by her company as well as her assistance. We returned later in the week for another helpful conversation, and some rugs. We will be back next time we visit and thoroughly recommend her store as a stop in your trip whether you are intending to purchase, just thinking about it, or want to learn about traditional and new carpets, homewares and fabrics. Ruth is full of experience, able to give style and historical information on her stock, and a good listener. She will help you to find what you're looking for, assisting you rather than being pushy. Thanks Ruth for your warmth and advice.…
