Rugs, Furnishings, Floors

GoodWeave

GoodWeave
GoodWeave.org is the premier international, non-profit organization that serves to eliminate child labor in the rug industry.

Many fine rug companies are members. As members, a percentage of the cost of each rug we sell is designated to end child labor and increase  health and educational opportunities for families of weavers working in the production-side.

Thus, the human connection continues to benefit all involved.

I was delighted to be a member of this group when I was active in my own Tibetan rug design company, Silk Road Weaves.

From their website: The world leader in its field, HALI (the name means carpet in Turkish) is the glue that holds the international rug and textile art market together.

Described as “the benchmark against which all other art publications measure their quality”, HALI is an international quarterly magazine of exceptional style, brimming with information. It is essential reading for the amateur and the connoisseur alike.

HALI covers the textile arts of all cultures and periods in an eclectic mixture of articles which range from sumptuously illustrated original scholarly features to lively, provocative reviews of exhibitions and books. These are balanced by the up to date news-oriented market sections which include reports of dealers’ shows worldwide, and a unique and extensively researched illustrated price guide (the most popular item in the magazine) to the most important items sold at auction.
