Characteristics of the production area (Sirjan)

Sirjan is a city located in southern Iran, belonging to Kerman Province. Kilims woven in Sirjan are also known as "Suzani" or "Silki Pitchi", and their production area is registered with UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization).
Sirjan kilims are characterized by their very dense and sturdy weave. Nomadic women weave them based on their imagination without a design, so their delicacy and intricacy are astonishing. They are soumak woven, with little fluff on the surface, and often feature animal and geometric patterns.
Sirjan kilims also often have deep colors, with red extracted from cherries, blue from eggplant skin, 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 crafts.

What is Kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are globally popular and are 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 a wide range of generations, young and old. Kilims are mostly made of wool, but some are also produced using cotton or silk. They use natural materials. Since natural dyes are also used for dyeing, 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. They are characterized by geometric patterns inspired by nature and animals, and each kilim has a unique design.
Various ethnic groups live in the vast land of Iran. The design and color characteristics differ depending on the production area, allowing you to enjoy a diverse range of design patterns.
