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
City rugs are high-quality, hand-knotted Persian rugs from renowned weaving cities such as Nain, Tabriz, Sarough, Isfahan, and Kashan. They are known for fine craftsmanship, high knot density, and very detailed patterns.
Nain rugs are famous for their soft colour palette (ivory, blue, beige), fine kork wool, and delicate floral patterns. Many Nain rugs have extremely high knot counts, especially in the 6La and 4La qualities.
Tabriz rugs often feature medallion designs, detailed borders, and precise knotting. They are known for their durability and symmetrical knots.
Both are durable, but city rugs generally have a finer, denser weave and more precise patterns. Tribal rugs are more rustic and thicker, while city rugs are more elegant and artistic.
City workshops employ trained master weavers who focus on precision. High knot density allows for complex floral motifs, medallions, and curves.
Many traditional city rugs use natural dyes; newer ones may combine natural and synthetic dyes.
