Product information "Kelim Kordi"
Each flatwoven Kelim is a handmade, one-of-a-kind piece, crafted with care and tradition. For generations, artisans have woven these unique rugs by hand, ensuring that no two pieces are ever exactly alike. Among them are classic Kelim, recognizable by their characteristic “Kelim slit,” and Sumak rugs, which feature an embroidered-like texture on the front and loose threads on the back. Originally, these handcrafted textiles served multiple purposes—adorning doorways, covering camels and horses, acting as tent roofs, draping dining tables, or being used as sleeping mats. Carefully preserved or lovingly restored, each Kelim carries the rich heritage of its craftsmanship into the present day.

Who We Are

A Hamburg-based family business in its 6th generation

A Sumak rug is a handwoven flat-weave made using a special wrapping technique where the wool is looped around warp threads. It looks like a kilim but has a richly textured, embroidered surface.

Kelim is a flat weave created by interlocking warp and weft.

Sumak is also flat, but thicker, stronger, and more textured because the yarn is wrapped, not interlocked. Sumak feels more substantial and durable.

“Kelim Sumak” is a category name used in Europe to show that Sumak rugs belong to the Kelim family but have a different weaving structure. It helps customers understand they are flat-woven but not classic Kelims. Usually Sumak Kelim have an embroidered front and a differentiated back, which differentiates them from other Kelim.

Yes. Genuine Sumak rugs are handwoven and usually crafted by tribal or village weavers in Iran, the Caucasus, and parts of Turkey.

Sumak weaving uses an extra wrapping thread on top of the base weave, creating a heavier, sturdier, and more textured fabric.

Very. Sumak rugs are known for strength and longevity. They are perfect for living rooms, hallways, and dining areas because they don’t shed and stay flat.

Many traditional Sumak pieces use natural vegetable dyes that give earthy, rich colors. Newer ones may use a mix of natural and modern dyes depending on the workshop.

This is part of the authentic weaving technique. The wrapped yarn creates “floats” on the back — a key sign the rug is real Sumak and not machine-made.

Typical motifs include diamonds, hooked medallions, tribal animals, protection symbols, and geometric borders. These designs come from tribes like Shahsavan, Qashqai, and Kurdish groups.

Yes. Sumak rugs have bold tribal patterns and a textured look that fits perfectly with Scandinavian, boho, rustic, and modern minimalist interiors.

Vacuum without a rotating brush and avoid dragging the vacuum over fringes. For spills, blot gently with cold water. Professional cleaning is recommended for deep care.

Sumak weaving is more complex and time-consuming. The extra wrapping technique requires skilled artisans and produces a thicker, more durable textile — which increases the cost.
