We Have Been Travelling! Monday, 6 June 2022  |  Kim

We Have Been Travelling!

We have been on a short road trip in Turkey, the weather was amazing and the scenery stunning so we thought we would share some images with you!

Turkish Breakfast

We stopped en route for an early morning Turkish Breakfast, as you can see it’s not for the faint hearted!

Tea in the Forest

We found a beautiful spot in a dry river bed to stop for some Turkish Tea; the shady tree platform in the forest was perfect for us.

Denizli Throws & Hamam Towels

We were travelling to see our suppliers who produce hand loomed cotton hamam towels and throws

Large Cotton Throws

fWe are so looking forward to these arriving as we have been low on stock for some time, they make great bed or sofa throws, we have around 9 colours on their way to us!

Hamam Towels

We have 11 colours of hamam towels currently en route from Turkey, just in time for those hot days on the beach!

Rug Washing

We travelled to the rug washing village where vintage kilims are washed ready for export, we always enjoy this trip as its beautiful countryside and the weather is warm with a gentle breeze, perfect for drying rugs!

Bright Kilims

fWe love soft coloured rugs as well and the vibrant bright colours, we like to have a mix of both to suit all our customers

Turkish Village Houses

fWe have a passion for village life and village houses in Turkey, we can’t resist taking pictures when we see such beautiful homes.

New Delivery Just In

We are at that time of year when we really do want to keep warm and make our homes comfortable for the cold winter months ahead - a Persian, Turkish or Afghan handmade rug is a perfect way to make a room inviting and cosy!

We have just had a delivery of some beautiful Persian rugs which would sit nicely in front of a fire, by a sofa or beside a bed giving a welcoming soft texture underfoot!

Here are a few of the new pieces that have just gone live online and that are also available in our Brighton shop

You can also see the whole range in the Latest Arrivals section of our website

Summer Update Friday, 30 July 2021  |  Kim

Here we are in the full swing of summer, between the rain that is, and we thought an update to our customers was well overdue!

New Shipments

Although times are still challenging we are busy organising new stock and we have some exciting deliveries coming later in the summer from Turkey and Afghanistan! In the meantime we are excited to have received our shipment of fabulous handmade gold plated Afghan Earrings with gorgeous coloured stones and quirky ancient designs, all made by local artisans in Turkey with each pair being unique - these are available at our Brighton Shop only at the moment

New Small Shipment of Rugs & Floor Cushions Just In

We have just uploaded a small but beautiful selection of Afghan Rugs & Kilims as well as some absolutely stunning Turkish and Afghan Carpet Floor Cushions - see them in our Latest Arrivals

 

 

New Afghan Kilim Stools

 

A new range of strong Afghan Kilim Stools are in stock which are available online and at our Brighton Shop. They are beautifully made with colourful Afghan Vegetable Dyed Kilims and are solid and substantial find out more here   

Rug Underlays

We know many of you have purchased rugs from us over the years, but did you know that having underlay under your rug makes it feel nicely cushioned and helps to stop any slippage and creeping, it also prolongs the life of your rug and helps air to circulate under your rug too - find out more about our underlays here

 

    

 

 

Some of Our Beautiful Kurdish Herki Runners are on Sale!!

 

Rarely are we able to put our rugs on sale, however there is currently an opportunity to buy a stunning Kurdish Herki Runner with 30% discount, see them in our Sale Section

 

 

 

Charities We Support

We are delighted to have become a Corporate Sponsor of Afghanaid, a Charity that works closely with Afghan rural communities in Afghanistan; we donate monthly to their projects as well as donating gifts to their Charity Auctions

Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year to All Thursday, 24 December 2020  |  Kim

Wishing Everyone A Very Merry & Safe Christmas And A Happy New Year

Thank you to all our lovely customers who have supported us throughout this difficult year - your ongoing support means a lot to us. 

Despite the tier 4 lockdown we are still Open for Business via our Website, Email, Phone, Web Chat as well as Collect from Shop!  Luckily we just managed to get our Turkish Shipment into the country this week and we have an exciting new range of rugs and runners coming in the New Year - we will be busy over the next few weeks getting our new Turkish stock photographed and online - watch this space!

Winter Update Sunday, 22 November 2020  |  Kim

So here we all are in another lockdown - we have our fingers crossed we will be released come December and can open the shop to the public again as we miss seeing everyone! In the meantime we are busy fulfiling orders online and over the phone - turning our rugs into “magic carpets” and flying them out to your homes every day!

We've been getting creative with this pandemic in our midst; we are still sourcing some interesting things to stock up our shop and website, especially since Christmas is fast approaching. For example, did you know we have Gift Vouchers which are perfect for those who are hard to choose for?

Our NEW Afghan Poufs are fresh in and on our site today! They come in a beautiful mix of bright colours as well as the more traditional terracottas.

 

 

 

Our selection of Rugs & Kilims continues to grow and, despite it not being easy, we are managing to source some fabulous pieces which are due to arrive in an exciting shipment from Turkey in the next month or two.  We have Afghan shipments coming through fairly regularly and we are finding some unusual colourful pieces to add to our collection.

We've been getting nostalgic for some of the great travels we've had seeking out beautiful carpets & kilims for our shop and we are making exciting plans for 2021 - there's a lot of catching up to do!

Customer Rug Inspiration

This stunning Persian Baluch Carpet has found its perfect home gracefully adorning the bedroom of our customer’s Brighton seafront town house - what a great combination

This beautiful Persian Toserkan Rug just works perfectly in our customers spare bedroom, looks great with those cushions.  The Persian Hosseinabad Runner is just right for the spot in the entrance hall of the same house!

It’s great to see one of our Vintage Moldovan rugs being used by the lovely Susie Cave for the recent “Another Magazine” interview

Well this Afghan Moshwani rug has found its perfect home, our customer could see this would work in her lovely space and she was right!

Just couldn’t resist posting this lovely photo! This little cutie approved of the new rug, in fact I don’t think she will be sharing!!

This stunning Persian Kurdi Gouchan rug looks amazing in this room, it’s happy in its new home we love it when our customers show us the rugs in situ!
