This Afghan Collection is an original and authentic range of rug runner featuring the world famous Afghan design. This collection is a genuine Afghan range and is not an imitation. The rug is hand-knotted in Afghanistan from pure new wool, which is antique washed over and over to produce an almost silk like feel. The rugs also feature antique fringes, which is a necessary trait of original Afghan rug runners.
 
An Afghan rug (or Afghan carpet) is a type of handwoven floor-covering textile traditionally made in the northern and western areas of Afghanistan,mainly by Afghan Turkmens and Uzbeks. One of the most exotic and distinctive of all oriental rugs is the Shindand or Adraskan (named after local Afghan towns), woven in the Herat Province, in western Afghanistan. Strangely elongated human and animal figures are their signature look. The carpet can be sold across Afghanistan with the most based in Mazar-e Sharif.
Another staple of Afghanistan is Baluchi rugs, most notably Baluchi prayer rugs. They are made by Afghanistan's Baloch people in the south-western part of the country.
Various vegetable and other natural dyes are used to produce the rich colors. The rugs are mostly of medium sizes. Many patterns and colors are used, but the traditional and most typical is that of the octagonal elephant's foot (Bukhara) print, often with a red background. The weavers also produce other trappings of the nomadic lifestyle, including tent bags and ceremonial pieces. In 2021 Afghanistan exported 800,000 square meters of Afghan rug, which generated about $30 million dollars. In 2008, 2013, and 2014 Afghan rugs won international awards at an international exhibition held every year in Hamburg, Germany. It was reported that around 2 million Afghans are involved in the rug business in Afghanistan.
Some Afghan rugs are woven by Afghan refugees who reside on a temporary basis in Pakistan and Iran.[better source needed] It has been reported that the majority of Afghan rugs during the war period were sent to Pakistan to be exported, where they were given the label "Made in Pakistan" when they were made in Afghanistan.
