CARE

Made in Afghanistan from 100% Ghazni wool, our rugs are hardwearing, with Afghan rugs known to last many centuries. Until then, we have a few tips on how to keep your rugs looking good as new:

• Vacuum rugs lightly
• Avoid direct and prolonged sunlight exposure
• If a stain occurs, don't panic, but do act quickly to prevent it from drying.
• Don’t use stain removal products. Simply wash with water, mild soap and a brush, then dry your rug in the sun if you can.
• For more stubborn stains, we recommend cleaning the rug professionally, with dry-cleaning always being the best option.

The Collection

The Connecting Landscapes collection is a celebration of the bond between ISHKAR and the artisans we work with across Afghanistan. Comprising six flatweave rugs, the collection draws inspiration from the landscapes that surround and inspire us respectively: three designs draw from Afghanistan's dramatic mountains, valleys and open plains; three from the rolling countryside and coastlines of Britain.

Handwoven in Afghanistan, the collection honours both the people behind each piece and the environments that influence their craft. Connecting Landscapes is a tribute to shared creativity, celebrated through the landscapes we call home.

The Weavers

Situated at the heart of the ancient silk road, for millennia Afghanistan has been known for making some of the finest rugs in the world. Since 2016 ISHKAR has worked with master weavers in Afghanistan to produce luxurious rugs which marry traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design.

Every step of the production process is made by hand, from the spinning and dyeing of the wool, to the trimming, binding and washing of the rug. Each piece has its own individual character and bears the distinct mark of the artisans who brought it to life.

The Wool

The carpets are hand-knotted using Ghazni wool, a variety of wool unique to Afghanistan known for its luxuriant finish as well as its unique way of absorbing colour which gives the carpets Abrash - the technical term used to describe the mottled effect given by each strand of wool's subtle variation of colour.
