Hand-knotted rugs are inherently sustainable: no electricity, no machines, no synthetic processes. Just hands, time, and natural materials like virgin wool, cotton, or even silk, used for centuries.
In our Hamburg warehouse, each piece is inspected by hand, biologically washed, and restored if necessary before sale. A rug that lasts for decades is the most sustainable rug of all.
🏅 STEP – Sustainable Textile Production
10-point standard for fair production. Bindingly checks wages, working conditions, and excludes child labour.
🤝 CARE & FAIR
Educational and health projects for weaver communities. Because a fair rug means more than a clean certificate.
Hand-knotted rugs are robust and durable if you follow a few simple guidelines.
🧹 Vacuuming without a brush head, in the direction of the pile. Not across the fringes.
💧 Spills should be dabbed immediately with a damp cloth, never rubbed.
🚫 Do not use chemicals or harsh cleaners. Professional cleaning is recommended for stubborn stains.
☀️ Avoid direct sunlight to slow down the fading of natural colours.
📦 Storage should always be rolled, never folded. Store in a dry and ventilated place.

Questions & Answers
A Gabbeh is a thick, hand-knotted Persian rug made by nomadic tribes in Iran. It is characterised by a high pile, minimalist patterns, and natural dyes – ideal for cosy, modern interiors.
Gabbeh rugs are made from high-quality wool and have a high pile. This is intentional – originally, Gabbehs were used by nomadic families as sleeping rugs.
Yes. They are extremely robust thanks to their dense wool and firm knotting. Perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, and high-traffic areas.
New Gabbehs may shed slightly at first, but this quickly reduces with use and regular vacuuming.
Many motifs – animals, trees, or geometric shapes – reflect tribal stories, nature, or everyday life. Minimalist designs are typical for modern Gabbehs.
Vacuum regularly. For stains, use cold water and mild soap. For deep cleaning, always choose a specialist for hand-knotted rugs.
Absolutely. Earthy colours, clear patterns, and soft texture harmonise perfectly with modern, Scandinavian, minimalist, and boho-inspired rooms.
Rizbaf rugs have extremely high knot counts and take months to years to produce. The finer the knotting, the more detailed the design, and the higher the value.
By extremely fine knots, clear patterns on the reverse, precise edges, and high-quality materials such as cork wool or silk.
Yes, but due to their artistic value, they are often used in living rooms, bedrooms, or less frequented areas.
Mostly cork wool and occasionally silk accents for maximum detail and sheen.
Rizbaf with natural dyes age beautifully. To protect the colours, avoid direct sun or rotate the rug occasionally.
