Our Material

What makes it different

Cashmere goats grazing freely on mountain pastures in Turkey
Our yarn begins in the mountains — goats living exactly as nature intended.
01

Natural & Undyed

Every rug uses goat hair in its natural state. The full tonal range — shades of white, grey, brown and black — comes directly from the animal. No dyes. No processing.

02

Handwoven

Woven by skilled artisans in the Turkish villages where this craft originated. Each piece requires weeks of patient, precise work — no shortcuts, no machines.

03

From Stock or Made to Order

Popular sizes from 120×180cm are often available from stock as well as runners from 60cm wide. Every piece can also be made to any bespoke dimension, with a lead time of 6–12 weeks for specially woven items.

Our Material

What makes
it different

Goat hair is one of the most resilient natural fibres in the world. Coban rugs are naturally lanolin-rich, creating a protective moisture barrier that enhances stain resistance and aids longevity.

With natural colours that do not fade, Coban rugs age the way good things should — slowly, gracefully, gaining character with every year on the floor.

Built to Last

A rug for generations, not seasons

These were originally made as dowry pieces, passed from mother to daughter as cherished possessions. That tradition is at the heart of everything we make. When you commission a Coban rug, you are not buying a floor covering. You are beginning a piece of your family’s history.

The Source

From the mountain to the floor

Our yarn comes from cashmere goats that roam freely across mountain pastures, living exactly as nature intended. Twice a year — in May and June, when the seasons shift — they are shorn by hand in a process that is entirely sustainable and causes the animals no harm. The fibre is simply gathered; nothing is taken that would not naturally be shed. Up to ten percent of every Coban rug is pure cashmere, woven invisibly into the structure of the piece — lending it a quiet softness beneath the resilience of the goat hair, felt more than seen.
