BUTTON UP is a collection of 3 unique editions of handmade 100% wool designed by Khalid Shafar and woven in Afghanistan in collaboration with FBMI (Fatima Bint Mohamed Bin Zayed Initiative); a social initiative dedicated to provide women in Afghanistan with employment.

The collection is an adaption of the KHALID SHAFAR signature pattern woven in the Afghani Kilim weaving style. The collection’s design concept was inspired by the fashion mechanism of buttoning up a garment. It allows the joining of any 2 rugs of the collection or all 3 together forming a larger single piece.
