KHALAJ AMANI CARPETS

The Hands Behind the Knots

Every carpet carries the name — and the pride — of its weavers.

People, Not Production

We believe the artisan is the soul of the carpet. Khalaj Amani works directly with weaving families across Afghanistan — Herat, Balkh, Kunduz, Bamyan — ensuring fair wages, safe conditions, and the freedom to weave with pride.
