Story

How can you not fall in love with this? Even if you won't really need it for travel or migration, something about it tugs at you and makes you want it. It is one of a kind really, a carpet woven bag that goes lightyears beyond saddlebag ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ซ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ด and ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ง๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ฉ bedding bags. It was published in an Italian collection back in the 1980s, when it was already over 100 years old, and hasn't aged a day since. A highly accomplished artist from the Kashkuli clan created it.

It is woven in one complete piece on a loom but consists of 5 sections. The central one is woven in rainbow stripe kilim and the 4 lateral ones are knotted in carpet pile. The two parts on the right and left are hexagonal while the upper and lower ones are rectangular. The 4 sections rise together to form a hexagonal-pyramidcal 3D structure. The bag has its original leather straps and iron buckles, in addition to leather going around the edges where woolen selvedges would normally be wound. Impeccable! All this and we haven't started to mention the ๐˜Ž๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ ๐˜ฐ ๐˜‰๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ design..

The beauty of detail

What our customers say!

โ€œI practically furnished my entire home with carpets from Hadi. The process was not only a joy but it was also a learning experience for me. Hadi was super helpful in identifying the right pieces for my home that would both work with my taste, budget, sizes required and that would be a good investment for my family. Hadiโ€™s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.โ€ Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

 

 

Purchasing carpets from Hadi Maktabi was the epitome of professionalism and joy. Hadi is an expert curator, purveyor, historian and story teller. His passion, knowledge, professionalism and expertise are evident every step of the way. With a wide range of choices and prices, prompt service, and fast sipping, we had our carpets in Sydney in a matter of days. The ultimate flying carpet experience! Zeina Tebbutt, Sidney, Australia ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ

 

I first met Dr. Maktabi as a lecturer on carpet history and was captivated by his passion for the subject. Only later I knew him as a dealer, though even in our financial transactions, Hadi has been a gentle guide and friend. He has understood my taste and interests and made wonderful suggestions, but never in a pushy way. That is to say I have enjoyed working with him on several levels and wish to continue our excellent relations and dealings far into the future. A.
