Kilim Vs. Navajo


 Finally  after several years with  small touches of Kilim  / Navajo in coats or handbags. This year's trend  this pattern! Personally it ´s a fabric I love! Especially their geometric and color mixing, but I don´t know distinguish between one or the other ... and  many of the brands neither,  so they call it ethnic.









Kilim is a Turkish word which means both sides.
It is a carpet that can be used on both sides, because in its production are links between chapters, such as embroidery.

 
Today the kilim rug is woven by nomadic people in various Eastern countries, where the main ones are: Turkey, Iran, Russia, China, Pakistan, Morocco and India.

 

Navajo rugs and blankets are prized by collectors all over the world for their beauty and durability.  They are truly among the great icons of Southwest Native Arts.


          For many Navajo women, weaving is not only a source of livelihood, it is a way to participate in traditional Navajo culture and community.  The art of weaving is deeply felt expression of beauty, harmony, and balance: concepts that lie at the center of Navajo art and life.
