Hey There

The name Amu Rugs was inspired by the Amu Darya, a river in Afghanistan that provides water and life to the locals. (Darya means "river" in Turkmen)

​

My family were refugees in Afghanistan, living in tents. When we were forced to leave, we managed to take a few valuable items with us, one of them was a handwoven rug. My father traded the rug for food and other necessities. Eventually, we partnered with others in the camp and began weaving rugs to sell.

​

We have come a long way, and our love for rugs will never fade. That’s why we are committed to providing the best quality rugs available.

​

As a child, I helped my father spin wool into string. He would take me to our rug factory, where we processed rugs. With decades of experience in the industry, we have a clear edge over our competitors. We offer Oriental rugs, Vintage rugs, Moroccan rugs, Kilims, Custom rugs, Rug pillows, Rug repair, and Rug cleaning.

​

Our rugs are fully hand-knotted, crafted with cotton foundations and Ghazni wool, which is dyed using natural dyes. Why Ghazni wool? It is strong, resilient, and soft to the touch, perfect for long-lasting rugs.

​

We employ local artisans in Afghanistan, helping to sustain their communities. Your support provides a lifeline for many families.

Feel free to take your time and look around, I'll be here to help you find the perfect rug to bring warmth and character to your home :)
