Just a little note to let you know that I am 100% delighted with my new rug and send you a photo of how it « pops » in the room. Thank you for the amazing service (48 hours from Istanbul!) and all good wishes for 2018.

The carpets arrived in time and in very good condition. They color and warm up our lives every day now. We find them joyful and pleasant and smart. We particularly love the green- blue one so I would like to have this passed to the designer, if possible. The combination of colours reminds me of Cezanne and Van Gogh South of France paintings. We wish you and your team good health and a prosperous 2018.

Look what arrived at my door this morning. It is perfect, and I love it. Your service was excellent. Thank you so much!

The kilim arrived yesterday and created a lot of excitement in the office. I followed your instructions and attached the kilim to a dowel rod with about 12 hoops of ribbon and hung it in my office this morning, and everyone thinks it's a beautiful addition to the office and a terrific conversation-starter. Your website and your service both exceeded my expectations, and I would be hard-pressed to think of any constructive criticism. I certainly passed your URL around the office and assured everyone that your stock was infinitely more varied than the two or three rug shops I visited in Boston and your prices more competitive. My French colleague who travels in the Middle East confirmed for everyone that one would have to travel to Turkey oneself to find a selection and price range better than yours. I think you have a very good business model.
