Herat Oriental has been providing beautiful, authentic, handmade rugs to Worldstock for over 10 years. With Worldstock's support, Herat Oriental has been able to create jobs for over 2,000 local village weavers in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. The majority of these weavers are women who live in villages and are able to support their families through rug weaving. The community also benefits from this craft as local farmers sell the wool and local artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs.
