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 Pichy," and their production area is registered with UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization).
Sirjan kilims are characterized by their extremely dense and sturdy weave. Because nomadic women weave them from imagination without a pattern, their delicacy and intricacy are astonishing. They are sumac weaves, with little pile on the surface, and often feature animal and geometric patterns.
Furthermore, Sirjan kilims often have deep colors, with cherry red, eggplant blue, saffron yellow, walnut leaf green, and walnut husk or tobacco brown dyes used. Due to these characteristics, Sirjan kilims are highly regarded worldwide and cherished as beautiful handicrafts.

What is a Kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are globally popular and are traditional hand-woven textiles that grow more beautiful with use. They are known by various names such as vintage kilim, old kilim, and antique kilim, depending on the era they were woven, and are loved by people of all ages. Most kilims are made of wool, but some kilims made with cotton or silk are also produced. 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 design styles of tribes and ethnic groups known as tribal rugs.
