New Release: Chroma Collection January 10 2015

The Chroma collection is a whimsical combination of wool and silk in cut & looped pile.

Unlike most Tibetan carpets, each piece from the Chroma collection is one of a kind.

The looped pile provides a beautiful accent that gives each carpet added visual depth.

The weavers of the Chroma Collection decide when to switch yarns, combining a stunning array of colors that cannot be replicated.

Shine on you crazy diamond. December 13 2014

Have you ever walked across a diamond? Just in time to chase away the winter grey, the Gem Rug Collection has arrived at Kush. Much like the crown jewels, these unusually shaped pieces have caused quite a stir in Portland's Pearl District. The rugs may be ordered in any size, 5'x5' and larger and may be custom colored. You may peruse more of the collection here.

Balouch Rug Shipment November 29 2014

The holidays came early at Kush! We received a colorful collection of Balouch Sumac tribal rugs. Our sumacs, (also spelled soumakh, sumak, and soumac,) were woven in the south east of Shiraz, home to the Afshar Nomads. They were woven using a special weaving technique that combines traditional knotted pile along with sumac weaving, or the side of the fiber. The cut pile stands out in beautiful relief against the flat sumac weave.

View more from our Balouch collection on our classic gallery page. If you would like to learn more, Marla Mallet has an informative article on sumac and tribal rug weaving here.
