Characteristics of the Region (Sirjan)

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

Sirjan kilims are characterized by their extremely fine and firm weave. Because nomadic women weave them based on imagination without a pattern, their delicacy and intricacy are astonishing. They are Soumak woven, with a less fuzzy surface, and often feature animal and geometric patterns.

Furthermore, Sirjan kilims often have deep colors, with red dyes extracted from cherries, blue from eggplant skins, yellow from saffron, green from walnut leaves, and brown from walnut skins 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 characterful 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. While most kilims are made of wool, some are also produced using cotton or silk. Natural materials are used. Since natural dyes are also used for coloring, you can use them with peace of mind.
