In the heart of rural Afghanistan, a rich tapestry of tradition and resilience is woven. Turkmen artisans, both men and women within the cooperative, meticulously craft one-of-a-kind Kilims. Sourcing wool from local sheep herders, men hand dye the yarn while women take the lead on the sorting, spinning, and everything else - preserving centuries-old techniques. Each Kilim, a masterpiece woven on traditional looms, reflects the unique artistry and heritage of the Turkmen people.

Decades of instability and limited opportunities, particularly for women, have challenged the community's survival. Yet, weaving has become a lifeline, providing essential income through the sale of Kilims. However, recent events have increased their isolation, with a language barrier hindering their access to broader markets.

Selling these handcrafted treasures internationally offers a beacon of hope. By supporting these artisans, we not only contribute to their economic stability but also help preserve an invaluable cultural heritage. Let us celebrate their artistry and resilience by bringing the beauty of Turkmen Kilims into our homes.

From the Maymana area of northern Afghanistan, we invite you to explore the many colors and patterns of these sturdy, reversible, one-of-a-kind flat woven kilim rugs.
