A rug for a beginning
First home, new marriage, a room for a child on the way — some rugs are bought to mark the start of something.
A lot of people come to us at a threshold. A first apartment. A wedding. A new house with empty floors and big plans. There's a reason a rug so often marks these moments.
In the mountains where ours are made, weaving has always been tied to beginnings — rugs woven for a marriage, for a dowry, for the birth of a child. The act of making something slow and lasting was itself a way of saying: this is meant to last.
A handmade wool rug is one of the few things you'll buy that can genuinely be handed down. It doesn't wear out so much as wear in. The marks of a life lived on it — a little softening here, a memory there — only make it more itself.
So if you're standing at a beginning, we think a rug is a good way to mark it. Not because you need one, but because years from now you'll remember exactly when it came into your life.
