CarpetRides - Our Story
Our family stumbled on “mini” car sized Oriental rugs during a trip to Turkey in 1980's. We were so captivated by these small, colorful beauties they shipped some home to New England to share with family and friends. Sometime during that winter our Mom decided to brighten up her car with some hand-knotted Turkish “minis”. We were pleasantly surprised how great these durable rugs looked and really held up in that snowy winter.
Our friends and family were also immediately captivated by these "CarpetRides" and wanted to give them as birthday and Christmas gifts.
Soon after, CarpetRides was off and running.
Over the years, we sought out artisan weavers who could curate and create our own car sized CarpetRides. We have been working with some of our weavers now for 17 years. They are members of family run generational artisan businesses in India, Pakistan and Turkey.
Each CarpetRides rug is a small wonderful hand-knotted work of art. The wool and silk yarns are hand dyed (boiled) using vegetable based dyes to achieve our dazzling color spectrum. There is so much amazing detail and skill that goes into making each CarpetRides rug, and we hope you love CarpetRides as much as we do.
