Herat Oriental has been providing beautiful, authentic, handmade rugs to Worldstock for over 10 years. By working with Worldstock, we have been able to create jobs for over 2,000 local village weavers in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. The majority of our weavers are women who live in these villages. As our partnership with Worldstock grows, we are able to create even more job opportunities for female weavers who otherwise would not have this chance. Rug weaving also benefits the local farmers who sell their wool and artisans who create the natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs. Imported.
