Welcome to Kelimshop, your trusted destination for authentic, handmade carpets, rugs, and kilims.

Our Story
Our journey began in the 1970s, with a small shop in Afghanistan where our family shared their passion for handmade carpets and rugs with the local community. Over the years, we grew steadily, fueled by our dedication to quality craftsmanship and our vision of bringing the beauty of handmade rugs to homes around the world.
In 2010, we officially established Zargar in the Netherlands, combining our heritage with a vision to share the beauty of handmade rugs with the world. Today, Kelimshop stands as a testament to our family’s journey—from humble beginnings in Afghanistan to becoming a global name in handmade Carpets.
