  • Are your rugs fair trade and free of child labor?
    All of our rugs have been carefully selected and bought on Iranian bazaars and have been made locally in Iran. There was never a large scale commercial production for these items which makes each carpet unique. Fortunately, exploitive and forced practices involving children is nonexistent in Iranian rug industry in contrast with countries like China, Pakistan, or India, where fair labor practices can not be guaranteed. This is also mainly why Iranian rugs are usually of higher quality.
