Classic Kilims are a beautiful way to bring vibrant colors and patterns to the walls and floors; they have an unusual ability to define spaces and add warmth and texture.
Transform your living space beautifully with those hand-woven, authentic and timeless kilim rugs that carry with them many of the traditional elements that made genuine vintage Egyptian kilim rugs so precious. Each kilim is expertly hand-woven in Egypt to create a beautiful work of art.
Kelima is an Egyptian handmade kilim brand brought to you by S&M Trading with the aim of bringing the beauty of Eastern culture to the West.
Our Kilim rugs are hand-woven from wool, making them durable and naturally resistant to dirt and spills. They are carefully crafted by the best craftsmen in Egypt with great care and precision. The patterns and motifs woven into each piece have significance to traditional weavers, representing protection, good luck, fertility, etc. They are unique items that are perfect for decoration and use at home or in the office.
We work directly with small workshops, instead of with large manufacturers. Each workshop is run by a master craftsman and is paid for what they produce. In this way we try to contribute to the recovery of those weavers, compared to the early 2000s, the number of kilim weavers has drastically decreased due to the unrest in the tourist industry because a large part of the weavers' livelihood depended on the tourism.
We manufacture our kilims in Al Haraneyah, a small village near the great pyramids of Giza. Decades ago, Al Haraneyah was home to many kilim weaving workshops, accordingly highly skilled Egyptian workers who have inherited the age-old skills of their ancestors create these unique handmade kilims.
