Our Story

Meet Arifa Akbari

Arifa sources every rug herself, travelling to the villages and workshops where these pieces are woven, building relationships with the weavers, and paying fairly for their craft. Nothing here comes from a warehouse catalogue.

Each rug is chosen the way you'd choose one for your own home: for the hand of the wool, the depth of a natural dye, the quiet confidence of a pattern drawn from memory. If it isn't good enough to live with, it doesn't make the journey home.

“I only bring home a rug I would keep for myself.”

Arifa Akbari · Founder

01

Hand-knotted

Every rug is tied knot by knot on the loom. A single piece can take a weaver many months to complete.

02

Naturally dyed

Wool coloured with madder root, indigo, walnut husk and pomegranate, hues that deepen with age.

03

Built to last

Made to be walked on for generations. A well-kept rug outlives the room it was bought for.
