Supporting Livelihoods
Carpet weaving has become one of the few sustainable income sources for women in Afghanistan. The earnings from each Carpet sold are now more essential than ever, following the inception of this initiative—a collaboration between Azizi Art and local artisans. These beautiful rugs are woven by women who have been displaced within the country due to the impacts of climate change. This income serves two vital purposes: providing financial stability for the weavers and enabling them to explore livelihoods beyond agriculture.

The Weavers’ Story
Each Carpet is a masterpiece, meticulously crafted by hand. Men handle tasks such as spinning and dyeing the wool, as well as washing the finished rugs, while the weaving is done by women from Faryab province in Afghanistan, often within their own homes. This partnership allows Azizi Art to contribute their designs, empowering the women and showcasing their craftsmanship to a global audience.

Exceptional Wool
The uniqueness of Afghan Carpet lies in the extraordinary quality of their wool. Every thread is spun by hand, giving these rugs a distinctive character. Turkman wool, known for its long fibers and remarkable durability, ensures that these Carpet are not only visually stunning but also built to last for generations, making them timeless treasures.
