Regular vacuuming and annual professional cleaning will keep your rug looking new for years to come. Herat Oriental has been providing beautiful authentic handmade rugs to Worldstock for over 10 years. Worldstock has given us the opportunity to create jobs for over 2000 local village weavers which helps them to greatly support their families. The majority of the weavers are women who live in the villages of Afghanistan Pakistan and India. As we grow with Worldstock we are able to create more jobs for female weavers who otherwise would not have the opportunity to do so. The community also thrives from rug weaving as the local farmers benefit from wool sales and the local artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs. What is Worldstock?The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color size and design. If buying two of the same item slight differences should be expected.
