Afghanistan has been the historical centre of handwoven rugs in Asia. The art and craftsmanship of rug weaving in Afghanistan dates back to millennia. The industry has experienced a revival recently and Afghan rugs have been ranked the best in the world for the past three consecutive years.
The kilim rugs are experiencing a boom in popularity across Europe and America as the modern interior design pieces for their unique designs, colours and social impact on the lives of the poor.
By buying this rug, you are supporting Afghanistan’s cottage rug industry that employs thousands of poor people, and through our initiative, creating jobs for orphans, widows and ethnic minority communities.
