Hope by Design at Arzu Rugs
Handmade rugs are works of art and investment purchases that can last for generations. At Arzu Rugs, where “hope by design” is the motto, rugs are made by women in Afghanistan using natural dyes and ancient weaving traditions.
Arzu Rugs is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to help reconstruct Afghanistan and to invest in the community, especially programs that benefit women and children. And the designs are stunning, ranging from traditional and tribal to modern and couture in style. Visit the site to learn more about the weavers and Arzu’s design and mission partners, and to delight in the sensual beauty of these handmade masterpieces.
