Superstar Vendor: Kush Hand-knotted Carpets

Ahhh, Kush...we love Kush! This winsome rug shop is owned by two of our favorite rugmongers, Brian and Rebecca. Not only do we love them and their rugs, we love the service they provide for us and our clients!

Kush brings in rugs from all over the world representing all sorts of styles from modern to tribal to Tibetan to custom. To the right is a gorgeous rug called Hetch by Tamarian. We love how the golden silk creates a warm depth calling attention to the dining room!

Not only does Kush have rugs, they have many gorgeous textiles from all over the world. Check out these p
atchwork tapestries! They are from Rajastan-- the Northwestern part of India. Each piece is unique and hand-made from colorful sequined and embroidered remnants of saris and ceremonial garments-- the ultimate expression of recycling as art. Kush donates 50% of every sale of South Asian Patchwork Textiles to Progressive Women's Association in Pakistan. The PWA provides shelter, medical care, legal assistance and counseling to women victims of abuse in the region.
