City Secret: Pop.See.Cul

Pia Hakko and Pelin Yasar are best friends turned bloggers and now turned designers. They have a visual diary on Instagram (which they humbly call their life) that is longingly and enviously followed by the hip set in Turkey. This duo has recently created one of Istanbul?s coolest t-shirt and sweatshirt brands: pop.see.cul, which began in London as an art and design blog. We caught up with these busy globetrotters and asked them to share there favorite places for hanging out, and of course shopping, in their hometown!
