We at Saffron Bloom love antique rugs, the older the better; the long history and stories behind each piece fascinates us. But  history and tradition without successors are dead. We need to continue supporting the weavers to carry on their generations of tradition and craft so they can survive and thrive. 

For that very reason, we have partnered with a friend with family roots in Afghanistan and started to bring new collections of hand woven rugs directly from the weavers to consumers. These weavers have learned their craft through generations of family tradition and it's part of their life. We provide them with proper tools and materials, and they make the magic happen in their spare time to improve the life of their families, using the traditional way they have always known. We only use the very top quality silky wool from North Afghanistan or near Gazni and local natural dyes, you can't get more organic than that! Each piece takes 2-3 workers months to finish. 

We are so excited that the first batch is ready, and they are of such top quality and simply work of art! The purchase choice you make has far greater impact, but most importantly, these are simply gorgeously designed, with highest quality hand made floor arts at the fairest price, period.
