— The origin

From the mountains, to your floor.

In the high villages of Kochkor and the southern shore of Issyk-Kul, Kyrgyz women have been making felt for over two thousand years. Wool from local sheep, pressed by hand, dyed with mountain water. Each pair of slippers takes a day. Each shyrdak rug, three months.

Kyrgia Atelier exists to bring this craft to Europe — paid fairly to the workshop, priced fairly to you, with the name of the workshop that made it on the label. Nothing mass-produced. No factories.

We open our first collection in early 2027. Until then, leave us your email — we will write to you once, when the doors open.

— Journey

Winter in the Tien Shan, with the makers.

This winter we take small groups to Kyrgyzstan: two days in Bishkek and the Ala-Archa gorge, hot springs on the shore of Issyk-Kul, New Year by the lake, eagle hunters and felt makers on the way back. Twelve days, eight to ten guests, an English-speaking guide.

Two departures: New Year, 27 December – 7 January, and a ski week in February, 13–24. €2 500 per person, flights excluded. Everything is on the programme page.
