Regarding to the origin of the Rexrugs name, Rex means emperors, which brings a sense of luxury. Since its birth, Rexrugs only makes high-end hand-knotted silk carpets and wool carpets in the field of carpet, which mainly serves European nobles and Middle Eastern royals, therefore, Rexrugs was taken as our initial brand.
Ahmet, the founder of Rexrugs, was attracted by handmade silk carpets when he touched handmade carpets for the first time at age 15. As there are many brothers and sisters in the family, the young Ahmet had to study in school while doing some odd jobs in handmade carpet shop to be a breadwinner. At first, he mainly learned handmade carpet repair, and also mastered the techniques of carpets by degrees. Over time, he decided to self-study in order to improve his professional skills, including the research of the Persian rug pattern in history, designing the carpet by himself and so on. At the age of 25, he became an expert of some renown in the field of handmade carpets. Meanwhile, attempting to collect some superior handmade carpets, he often took the bus for a few days alone to find the weavers who live in the deep mountain areas to buy carpets. With his efforts, a large proportion of high quality rugs was sold to the upper class in Turkey and some nobles in Europe. This is the prototype of the Rexrugs.
