Silkroute International
WholesaleCalifornia, United States11-50 Employees
SilkRoute International imports antiques, hand woven rugs, antique and new furniture, lighting and accessories from Afghanistan, Africa, Brazil, China, India, Nepal, Peru, Pakistan, Philippines, Tibet and, of course, the USA. Seven months out of the year, owners Abdul and Frozahn travel the world to hand select each fabulous piece. Whatever the country of origin, the story behind how each piece was discovered and how the relationship with the factory was formed is always unique. Every piece SilkRoute offers is hand-made by local artists who put an extraordinary amount time (and love) into each piece. SilkRoute focuses on finding as many reclaimed pieces as possible, and loves the idea of turning the old into the new. The goal is to be a one stop shop; featuring items from almost every category, in styles ranging from traditional to contemporary, and everything in between. The family is constantly on the move, traveling to find the next unique "must have" product, and building relationships based on love, trust, and honesty. When the team visits the villages, the people like to come and show off the items they have made, or show the old merchandise they have in their family that they would like to sell. Sharing their food, learning about their culture, getting to know these families is not work, it is pure joy. Seeing the families in these remote villages that benefit from their association with SilkRoute, the lives touched, and changed for the better, and the pride the craftsmen take in creating pieces that are coveted by consumers, brings joy to many faces. In fact, every time a product is sold, 10 families are able to support themselves. At that point, it is not about money, it is about how many families are helped and how many jobs are created.
