Characteristics of the Origin (Sirjan)

Sirjan is a city located in southern Iran, belonging to Kerman Province. Kilims woven in Sirjan are also known as "Suzani" or "Silky Pichi," and the city is registered as a kilim production site by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization).

Sirjan kilims are characterized by their extremely intricate and sturdy weave. Woven by nomadic women based on imagination without a pattern, their delicacy and intricacy are astonishing. They are made with a Soumak weave, so the surface is not very fluffy, and animal and geometric patterns are common.

Furthermore, Sirjan kilims often feature deep colors; red is extracted from cherries, blue from eggplant skin, yellow from saffron, green from walnut leaves, and brown from walnut husks or tobacco. Due to these characteristics, Sirjan kilims are highly regarded worldwide and cherished as beautiful handicrafts.

What is a Kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are globally popular traditional hand-woven textiles that become more appealing with age. Depending on the era they were woven, they are called vintage kilims, old kilims, or antique kilims, and are beloved by a wide range of people of all ages. Most kilims are made of wool, but some are also produced using cotton or silk. Natural materials are used. Natural dyes are also used, so you can use them with peace of mind. These hand-woven kilims are durably woven and based on the design styles of tribes and ethnic groups known as tribal rugs.
