Stana Kilim

Kobeiagi Kilims was founded by Ivana Blaž and Nina Mršnik, an architect from Bosnia and a designer and illustrator from Slovenia. The idea of starting the ‘kilim revival’ project had been on their minds for quite some time and became reality after their visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina, where they saw that almost nobody continues to practice this traditional, centuries-old craft.

The Kobeiagi kilims are made by the skilled weavers of Lejla’s workshop, which is located in the Bosnian town of Visoko. They source the finest wool from the long-fleeced sheep locally, and the wool is taken from rough bale to coloured thread within Visoko. It has to be spun, plied into thread and dyed before our weavers can begin their work. Every part of kilim weaving process takes place in a 20km radius, meaning they are truly a local product.
