Characteristics of the production area (Sirjan)

Sirjan is a city located in southern Iran, belonging to Kerman Province. Kilims woven in Sirjan are called "Suzani" or "Silky Pich," and the city is registered by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) as a kilim production area.
Sirjan kilims are characterized by their extremely fine and firm weave. Nomadic women weave them based on imagination without a pattern, so their delicacy and intricacy are astonishing. They are Soumak woven, with a surface that doesn't fray much, and often feature animal and geometric patterns.
Sirjan kilims also often have deep colors; red is extracted from cherries, blue from eggplant skins, yellow from saffron, green from walnut leaves, and brown from walnut husks and tobacco. Due to these characteristics, Sirjan kilims are highly regarded worldwide and are 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 when 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 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 hand-woven kilims are durably woven and are based on the tribal or ethnic design styles known as tribal rugs.

Afterward, carefully wipe with a damp cloth to remove the detergent, then dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.
