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 loved by all generations. While most kilims are made of wool, some are also produced using cotton or silk. They use natural materials. Natural dyes are also used for dyeing, so you can use them with peace of mind. These hand-woven kilims are sturdily woven and are based on the design styles of tribes and ethnic groups known as tribal rugs. They feature geometric patterns inspired by nature and animals, and each kilim has its own unique design.
Various ethnic groups live in the vast land of Iran. The designs and color characteristics differ depending on the region of origin, allowing you to enjoy a diverse range of design patterns.

Daily Care

Then, wipe thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove the detergent, and dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.
