The Sabalan  

Next Stop Northwest Iran! Here we find ourselves captivated by the beauty of the Sabalan, the third-highest mountain in Iran, sitting in a major deposit of copper which also provides water to the villages. Do you wonder why are we talking copper right now? Well, the sheep my friend, drinks the water that contains traces of copper, aka extremely durable wool, aka Heriz Persian rugs that will last for generations. 

Incredible Tradition  

Heriz Persian Rugs are one of the few handmade rugs that are constructed by memory! That’s right! Artisans learn this tradition and pass it on to their families. Want another reason? This is a unique style where the weavers tell the story of the old times. Representing their history with geometric patterns Heriz rugs often hold a magnificent dominant medallion in the center, including bright bold colors that can lighten any room.
