Story Behind the Art:

• This rug was originally designed in Bidjar, Iran, but is now recreated by local weavers in the Varanasi region of India. The entire process of shearing, washing, dyeing, and weaving is done by village weavers, and the rugs are virtually identical in design, workmanship, and authenticity as the originals. By purchasing this rug, you are helping to create jobs for over 2,000 local village weavers, primarily women living in the villages of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. The community thrives on rug weaving as local farmers benefit from wool sales and artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs.
