Our Origin

From Literary Pages to Artisanal Goods

Parse began with a love for Persian books and has grown into a cozy bookstore and cultural café in Munich, welcoming everyone to explore books, Persian tea, specialty coffee, and cultural events. A little piece of Persian culture, open to all.

As a next step, Parse went beyond books and stories; Parse Collection, our little market, carries that same mission forward: making a piece of Iran accessible, wherever you are. It starts with saffron: deep in color, rich in aroma, grown in the fields that produce the best in the world. Pottery comes next, each piece shaped by hand in the traditional way.

Every product we offer is chosen with the same care we bring to every book on our shelves: authentic, well-sourced, and worth sharing.
