A Living Heirloom from the Looms of Faryab
In the quiet villages of Shirin Tagab, Faryab — where the Hindu Kush winds carry the scent of mountain wool — skilled weavers sit cross-legged at their looms, tying each knot by hand. This is not just a carpet. It is months of devotion, woven thread by thread, into something that will outlast generations.
The Mawr design — a classic Afghan geometric pattern — fills the field with rhythmic precision, its deep crimson tones anchored by intricate borders. Every detail is intentional. Every knot, a signature.
