Soumac carpets are a type of flatwoven textile produced by nomadic and village weavers in the Caucasus region, characterised by a distinctive wrap-weft technique that creates a durable, textured surface without a pile.

Authentic pieces are traditionally handwoven using hand-spun wool for the foundation and surface, dyed with natural organic colourants derived from plants, roots, and insects.

Authenticity is determined by examining the weave structure on the reverse side, the presence of natural abrash in the wool dyeing, and characteristic tribal geometric motifs unique to the Caucasus.

These textiles serve as striking focal points in contemporary spaces, pairing effectively with minimalist furniture, hardwood floors, and neutral tones to highlight their rich colours and patterns.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional specialised cleaning when necessary, and the use of a high-quality rug pad to prevent slipping and fibre wear.
