There are few things as exciting as receiving and unpacking bales of new stock!

There’s something so exhilarating about opening each bale, discovering one beautiful carpet after another, admiring the colours, patterns and details, and wondering what the next bale is hiding.

These carpets are hand-knotted, made with natural vegetable dyes, and have just the right amount of age and wear to give them character, warmth and a story of their own.

Here are just a few glimpses of our latest collection of pre-loved, beautifully aged and reasonably priced carpets.

Who says beautiful Persian carpets have to stay on the floor?

These stunning quirky handmade belts are made from Persian carpet cut-offs, giving gorgeous old carpet pieces a whole new life and turning them into something you can actually wear!

Each belt is one of a kind, with its own colours, patterns and little bit of Persian carpet magic. No two are quite the same, which is exactly what makes them so much fun.

Wearable art with a little bit of history, perfect for adding a splash of personality to an otherwise ordinary outfit.

Wearable Art!!!

This quirky, one-of-a-kind jersey is guaranteed to turn heads wherever you go. Lovingly hand-knitted, it’s chunky, earthy and warm!

Made from the exceptional wool of Namibian Karakul sheep, a remarkably hardy breed that has adapted to some of the harshest, driest landscapes, this wool is celebrated for its strength, durability and naturally lanolin-rich fibres.

Traditionally hand-spun, the wool keeps all its weight and texture, creating something that is as much a piece of textile art as it is a winter garment.

This jersey is perfect for anyone who believes clothes should have a little personality. It truly is something special!

R 850

Please note, this jersey is loaded with character so it is heavy!!!
