Description
Truly traditional and artisan, the Kundos rug, sometimes known as Kunduz/Kamyabe, is woven in a town of Northern Afghanistan mainly by the Turkoman people. The Kundos quality is made uniquely famous due to the specific type of wool, dye and knots used. The wool used to make these rugs is sourced locally which gives a velvet soft feel on each piece and is very durable. The dying method carried out is also unique to this type of rug using a traditional method specific to the Andkhoy area. These unique methods delivers a very distinct and solid, bold colour. The rugs are then taken to a region in Pakistan where final bespoke touches are added to ensure the rug is finished to the highest standard. This rug has been finished at each end with an additional kelim flatweave decorative trim. In 1sqm of Kundos rugs there would be around 160000 + knots giving a very fine density. Worth Knowing: The exact design layout will differ depending on the size of rug you choose. About your new rug We recommend. It prevents your rug from moving underfoot and protects against colour transfer to the floor Natural fibres may shed. This will reduce over time, and shouldn't affect your rug's lifespan or performance When vacuuming your rug, use suction only. Rotating brushes may damage the fibres Blot any spills with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub or use harsh detergents.

A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
