What is a Kilim?

Persian handwoven kilims are globally popular traditional handwoven textiles that deepen in character with age. Depending on when they were woven, they are called vintage kilims, old kilims, or antique kilims, and are loved by people of all ages. While most kilims are made of wool, some are also produced using cotton or silk. They use natural materials. Since natural dyes are used for coloring, you can use them with peace of mind. These handwoven kilims are durably 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 a unique design.
Various ethnic groups live across the vast land of Iran. The designs and color characteristics differ by region, allowing you to enjoy a diverse range of design patterns.

Daily Care

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

Important Notes

Due to being handwoven, there may be slight distortions in shape, weaving irregularities, or color variations. Please enjoy these as part of the unique charm of a handwoven item.
