From Tourism to Handicrafts
The Kyrgyz Handmade project was born as part of Baibol Group during a challenging period for the tourism industry. Since 2016, our team has been active in tourism and international sales, but in difficult times we turned to a new mission: helping local artisans bring their products to a global market.
By providing reliable online sales, shipping, and payment methods, we became a bridge between Kyrgyz artisans and overseas buyers. At the same time, we aim to encourage appreciation of local handicrafts within Kyrgyz society itself.
Crafted by Skilled Artisans
Our products are handmade by skilled craftspeople in rural Kyrgyzstan. Each rug, pillow, and panel is crafted with care, ensuring that every piece is unique. Every stitch and pattern carries the story of nomadic culture and the dedication of the artisans behind it.
Cultural Heritage
At Kyrgyz Handmade, every product carries more than just visual beauty, it carries history. Shyrdak rugs and other felt crafts are living symbols of nomadic tradition, shaped by patterns and techniques that have been passed down through generations. Each piece is a reminder of a cultural language that continues to inspire today.
A Bridge Between Worlds
We believe in creating meaningful connections between artisans and the global community. Each rug or accessory is not only a work of art but also a story that travels beyond Kyrgyzstan’s mountains into homes worldwide. Through this exchange, traditions find new life in modern spaces while supporting the people who keep them alive.
Threads of Community
Our story is woven from more than wool it is woven from lives. Each rug begins in the homes of Kyrgyz artisans, where craft is handed down across generations. Around kitchen tables and village gatherings, knowledge flows like a shared thread, binding people together.
These rugs are not produced in isolation. They carry the voices of families, neighbors, and friends who sustain each other through their craft. When you bring our work into your home, you also carry the spirit of the community that gave it life.
Carrying Tradition Forward
Our journey doesn’t end with preservation it grows with innovation. While we remain rooted in Kyrgyz soil, we are also shaping what this heritage can become. From experimenting with new designs to collaborating with international creatives, we allow the tradition to evolve in meaningful ways.
Looking ahead, our vision is to share Kyrgyz craftsmanship with the world in forms both timeless and new, proving that an ancient art can continue to inspire, adapt, and thrive for generations to come.
