Our Story

Nomad Knot connects Afghan rug artisans with customers worldwide.For generations, Afghan weavers have turned wool, silk, and natural dyes into rugs that carry the identity of their regions—patterns, symbols, and stories passed down family to family.

Our mission is simple: protect heritage and improve fairness. We work to make artisan-made rugs easier to discover, easier to trust, and easier to buy—while supporting responsible production and honest representation of origin, materials, and craftsmanship.

Sustainability is built into the craft. Handmade rugs are long-lasting, repairable, and often made from natural fibers. By supporting handmade production, we reduce reliance on short-life, mass-produced alternatives and help preserve traditional skills.

What you can expect on Nomad Knot: • Verified handmade Afghan rugs only • Clear details (region, materials, size, features, and condition) • One-of-a-kind pieces and custom order options (where available)
