Rug Story:
This Turkish Tulu rug was handwoven by nomadic women of the Karapınar region as part of their cultural tradition. Tulu rugs are known for their deep pile and comforting texture, originally designed for insulation and floor warmth in harsh Anatolian winters.

What makes this rug special is its honest, untamed character—crafted with thick hand-spun wool and dyed with natural roots and herbs collected from the surrounding countryside. These rugs weren’t made for markets—they were woven for family use, intended to offer both warmth and a visual celebration of village life. Today, it stands as a bridge between utility and art—a true heirloom of Turkish heritage.
