Autumn Buying Trip Update

8 September 2018 | Kim

We have just arrived back from our exciting Persian and Turkish buying and we wanted to share some of our experiences with you - yes the weather was extremely hot it being August, but it was certainly worth it - we sourced some fabulous items including our popular Kilim stools as well as lots of stunning rugs, kilims & textiles - here are some images of from our travels

You always start with tea - Persian Style!

We hunt high and low for gorgeous rugs - it takes us to some off the beaten track places in Persia

Our popular Persian Stools will be in the autumn shipment

from Persia - also in square sizes

Local Farsh (carpet) Bazaar

More Tea - We need Tea at Regular Intervals!!

More refreshments - looks odd but very refreshing - Cucumber, mint, lemon water

Quirky Small Qashqai Rug we found

On to Turkey - Love the street cats...

Fabulous Tajik Suzani we are getting made into low poufs

This Uzbek Suzani will also be transformed into low poufs

We have had lots of people ask for more Moldovan Kilims

and we have some beauties on the way!

These are very long Suzani Fabrics that we are

making into long Bolster Cushions

These gorgeous Uzbek Ikat Fabrics will be made into Stunning Robes for Men and Women (lots more colours will be available)

We were delighted to find a great range of

lovely vintage pale background Turkish Usak Kilims

A strong Turkish Coffee is always welcome

That's the end of our Update - We hope you liked it

Not all these items will be on our site but if you are interested in anything do get in touch and we can keep you informed.
