Story Behind the Art:

• This rug was created in the Bhadohi village of the Varanasi region of India, where weavers re-create the original Gabbeh design. Due to the handmade nature of the rugs, the size may vary up to 4 inches from the advertised size. The majority of the weavers are women who live in the villages of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. By purchasing this rug, you are creating jobs for female weavers who may not have had the opportunity otherwise. The local community thrives from rug weaving as wool sales benefit local farmers, and artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs.
