hand woven, machine, pakistani, iranian

birthday dinner at arab streets cafe le clair with the breakfast club ( previously referred to as supper club turned brunch club- breakfast club just sounds nicer i think) ended up with quite a lengthy stop at the carpet shops nearby. Friends got one beautiful handwoven carpet for their bedroom while another was mulling over a bigger piece for her living room.

I loved the colours and it reminded me so much of the beautiful carpets at Lahore's Pearl Continental Hotel. My one regret, was never getting a carpet when i was working in Lahore. They were cheap.

Though PS did, when we spoke about it in Lahore, said not to support an industry which employed young child workers. sigh...
