Weaving Hope by Design!


I am so excited to announce that I will be featuring the beautiful handwoven rugs by the widows of Afghanistan whose lives have been torn apart by the ravages of war and have nowhere to turn except to utilize their weaving skills! www.arzurugs.org I will be hosting an 8' x 10' of the Resilience rug from the Couture collection. Knowing I can procure any rugs from anywhere on this planet, it does my heart GOO-D to know that I am making a difference in helping these women support and educate their children! Arzu, meaning hope in Dari, builds a foundation of hope by providing sustainable income and helping families break the cycle of poverty by providing them with above market compensation and access to education and health care. A purchase of an Arzu rug is an investment in the future for a woman and her children, a humanitarian design choice that makes a difference in our world!



Suze, the manager of arzu rugs was equally as excited to ship two rugs to me just in time for my showroom Grand Open House! They are in the William Switzer showroom in the Chicago Merchandise Mart (equivalent to our Design & Decoration building on 59th in nyc) but I want to bring them to the attention of all my clients here.

Please go and check out the website explaining the plight of these women and their children and their success at weaving the remnants of their lives back together again!!!
