Soumak rugs have a long history that began in regions like the Caucasus, Persia (now Iran), and Anatolia (Turkey). This flatweave style started with nomadic tribes who used the technique to make rugs, bags, and other useful items. Unlike regular kilims, Soumak rugs use a special weaving method called weft-wrapping, which gives them a raised, embroidered texture. Their bold geometric shapes, floral designs, and tribal symbols make them stand out. Traditionally made from hand-spun wool and dyed with natural colors, these rugs are both strong and colorful. Today, Soumak rugs are also made in India, appreciated for their reversible design and budget-friendly price, making them a great mix of function and style for modern homes.
