More than just decor, these rugs are living art, meant to be touched, lived with, and passed down.

From Navajo rugs with symbolic geometric motifs to Zapotec weavings celebrated for their vibrant natural dyes and ancestral patterns, each rug reflects enduring culture and craftsmanship.

 

Authentic Hand-Woven Indigenous Rugs

 

Our hand-woven rugs are crafted by skilled Indigenous weavers from the Southwest, where textile art is a vital form of cultural expression and storytelling. Made from hand-spun wool and dyed with natural, plant-based pigments, each rug features bold geometric patterns and symbolic designs that reflect tribal identity, sacred landscapes, and spiritual meaning. From shearing and spinning the wool to preparing the dyes and weaving on traditional wooden looms, every step is done by hand with remarkable care. Whether you're starting a collection or searching for a meaningful statement piece, these rugs bring timeless artistry to any space.

 

Highlights of our collection:

 

  • Traditional Navajo-inspired designs: Intricate motifs and balanced symmetry rooted in ancestral techniques.

 

  • Natural fibers and dyes: Ethically sourced materials for authentic, eco-conscious craftsmanship.

 

  • Individually attributed: Each rug is signed or connected to a specific artist or family workshop.
