Characteristics of the origin (Sirjan)

Sirjan is a city located in the southern part of Iran, belonging to Kerman province. Kilims woven in Sirjan are called "Suzani" or "Silky Pich," and the region is registered as a Kilim producing area by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization).
Sirjan Kilims are characterized by their extremely intricate and firm weave. Nomadic women weave them based on their imagination without a pattern, so their delicacy and intricacy are astonishing. They are Soumak woven, have very little fluff on the surface, and often feature animal and geometric patterns.
Furthermore, Sirjan Kilims often have deep colors, with cherry red, eggplant skin blue, saffron yellow, walnut leaf green, and walnut skin or tobacco brown being used as dyes. Due to these characteristics, Sirjan Kilims are highly regarded worldwide and are cherished as beautiful crafts.

What is Kilim?

Persian hand-woven Kilims are globally popular traditional hand-woven textiles that become more appealing with age. Depending on the era in which they were woven, they are called vintage Kilims, old Kilims, or antique Kilims, and are loved by people of all ages. Most Kilims are made of wool, but some are also made with cotton or silk. Natural materials are used. Since natural dyes are also used for dyeing, 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.

Daily Care

Remove dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner or broom. If you are concerned about stains, dilute a neutral detergent (for wool/silk) with water, wring out a towel tightly, and gently wipe the surface. Then, carefully wipe with a damp cloth to remove the detergent and dry it in a well-ventilated, shaded area.
