Kiliim- Modern Handcrafted Kilim

Our story begins in Fowwa, a small village that sits on the western banks of the lush Nile Delta. Just a few decades ago, Fowwa used to be a hub for handmade kilim rug weaving and home to thousands of workshops, however with a declining tourism industry and the fast spread of cheaper machine made rugs, Fowwa’s main industry began to fade. With every purchase you are joining Kiliim’s initiative to put Fowwa back on the local and international map for authentic craftsmanship.
