Story Behind the Art:
- This beautiful kilim is crafted by women weavers in villages in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. The rug weaving not only provides employment opportunities for these women but also helps local farmers benefit from wool sales, while local artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs. The handmade nature of these kilims means that sizes may vary by up to 3-4 inches. With regular vacuuming and annual professional cleaning, this kilim will stay beautiful for years to come.
- Imported. Note: Color discrepancies may occur between the product and your computer screen due to the handcrafted nature of this item.
