The nomadic Herki tribe lives between the plateaus and mountains of Hakarri in Turkey, as well as in Iraq and Iran. Making their living through sheep and goat herding, they are famous for their well-made and hard-to-find carpets, which are hand-spun on floor looms using vegetable-based dyes.
These rugs are in excellent condition, although a few have proven their usefulness through gentle wear.
They are perfectly sized to throw by your bed, overlap to create a bohemian den, front hall etc. For the textile lover who strives for the unique.
Above is a shot of a group of friends I met and worked with in Turkey to bring you these beautiful one of a kind rugs. The meals were a daily bonus!
