Story Behind the Art:

• Master craftsmen in the Bhadohi province of India create a traditional graph for the rug, which is then physically erased by the master weaver to create random holes and gaps in the pattern. The workshop then begins the weaving process to create this beautiful rug with no damage from harsh washes that fade dyes. Due to the handmade nature of these rugs, sizes may vary by up to 3-4 inches. Regular vacuuming and professional cleaning will keep your rug looking new for years to come. The majority of the weavers are women from villages in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India, and this craft provides them with job opportunities. The community also thrives from rug weaving as local farmers benefit from wool sales, and local artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs.
