Our Story
Persian carpets have a soul—woven with history, culture, and the hands of artisans who bring them to life. But for many buyers around the world, finding a truly authentic piece can feel overwhelming. That’s where Kansorug comes in.
I’m Bahador, and my journey with Persian carpets started long before Kansorug. Growing up, I was surrounded by the craft—watching my mother and grandmother weave stories into every thread. Years later, after working in both domestic and international markets, I saw a clear gap: buyers needed a trusted sourcing agent to guide them through this world of endless patterns, qualities, and origins. That’s why my friend Reza and I founded Kansorug—to make buying an authentic Persian carpet as seamless as possible.
Our name, Kansorug, is inspired by Caravanserais—ancient trade hubs where travelers found not just goods, but stories and connections. Like them, we bridge cultures, bringing you direct access to Iran’s finest rugs—handpicked, verified, and delivered with care.
With access to Iran’s rich carpet bazaars and partnerships with renowned vendors from Isfahan, Nain, Yazd, Kashan, Qom, Mashhad, Tabriz, Shiraz, Tehran, and beyond, we ensure that you find the perfect Persian carpet—one that truly belongs in your home.

Why Kansorug?
It all started in 2007, when I first tried buying and selling Persian carpets online. Back then, the idea felt ahead of its time—there was no clear way to guarantee authenticity, no seamless connection between buyers and Iran’s rich carpet market—but I was hooked.
After several attempts to launch domestic carpet websites, I realized my passion extended far beyond borders. Pursuing a Master’s degree in Entrepreneurship & E-Commerce ultimately shaped this vision into Kansorug: a sourcing agency that makes finding the perfect Persian rug as effortless as it should be.
Authenticity You Can Trust
Persian carpets aren’t just products but part of Iran’s soul. Every step of the sourcing process is regulated under strict guidelines, ensuring that what you receive is genuine, fairly priced, and ethically sourced. Our work, like all activities in the Persian carpet industry, operates under the supervision of:
- National Iranian Carpet Center
- Union of Handmade Carpet Producers & Exporters
- Iran Chamber of Commerce
- Handwoven Carpet Sellers' Union
- Cultural Heritage, Tourism & Handicrafts Organization
We hold official trade licenses, export permits, and authenticity certifications, so you never have to second-guess your purchase.
What Does Kansorug Mean?
The name Kansorug is inspired by the fusion of two words: Caravanserai and Rug. In ancient times, caravanserais were vital hubs along the Silk Road, where merchants could rest safely during their journeys. But beyond shelter, these spaces were centers of exchange—where goods, knowledge, and stories flowed freely.
