The Baluch carpets (also Belutch) come from a nomadic people in the Baluchistan region, a border area between Afghanistan and Pakistan. They live from agriculture, carpet production, and sheep, goat, and camel husbandry. Traditionally, the carpets are made from sheep's wool or goat hair from the tribes' own herds. Due to their tribal origin, the carpets are usually smaller due to the high transport needs, feature geometric patterns or stylized floral motifs, and are hand-knotted. The classic dark red, brown, or blue backgrounds are often contrasted with lively patterns in white, ivory, yellow, or orange tones. Baluch carpets are relatively thin, yet quite densely woven, which makes them soft and flexible. Perfect for daily use and with a lot of movement. Even today, these carpets offer an excellent price-performance ratio as well as outstanding durability.
