Yayla

Overflowing with the latest in Tibetan cut-pile color blocks and intricate tribal flat-wovens, this company wows with its commitment to the Middle Eastern and Tibetan peoples who create its wares. Jaded by other stores' claims of "socially conscious" sourcing? Ask any employee about the history of a rug, and he or she will supply you with a roster of details—no surprise, since the owner spends about two months a year in the communities where the rugs are made.
