The garment
Printed into the fibre, not onto it.
- Cotton
- 95% long-staple cotton, 5% elastane, 190 gsm. Weight enough to feel like something.
- Reactive dye bonds with the fibre. It does not crack, peel or sit on the surface.
- Construction
- A plain front panel with the city's medallion. The border at the hem. A woven waistband.
- Certification
- Printed at a mill holding OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, class I, for this exact process.
A Persian carpet is the most public art there is.
We put it where no one will see it.
Laid on a floor and walked across. Hung on a wall to be looked at. Made to be seen by everyone, for six hundred years — and now worn closest, seen least.
Three cities
Three cities. Three ways of making the same thing.
Tabriz. The court city. Carpets drawn on paper before they were woven, in the composition of a book cover — medallion, corners, border. 
Nain. The town that wove cloaks until that trade died in the 1920s. Its carpets came after. Cobalt on ivory, drawn light. 
Shiraz. The Qashqa'i of Fars wove while moving, on horizontal looms. No paper, no cartoon. The forms come out angular; the grid is the grammar. 
Tabriz, laid flat. 
Nain, the medallion. 
Shiraz, laid flat.
Renderings. Each city's page tells the story of its weaving tradition.
Made in Håbo
Every pair is numbered by hand.
The patterns are drawn here, the samples approved here, and every Dye Lot 1 card is written and numbered at our table in Håbo, outside Stockholm. One thousand pairs per city, each one numbered.

Abrash
Abrash is the horizontal shift in colour across a handwoven carpet, where one dye lot ended and the next began. It cannot be planned and it cannot be repeated.
It is the flaw that proves the hand. What abrash means →
