About Molook

Molook is not just a brand; it is a story woven from the very threads of hand-knotted Persian carpets.

The story begins in Kashan, a city where carpets are not mere floor coverings, but a silent language of culture and art.
My grandmother was an illiterate woman, yet wise; simple, yet dignified.
As a child, after her parents separated, she was raised by her grandmother — a weaver — who taught her how to tie knots on the loom when she was just four years old. With tiny hands and a vast heart, she began her journey.

Years later, after marriage, she continued weaving to support her husband and raise their seven children. Each knot she tied wasn’t just a part of a pattern — it was a piece of life itself. She poured her soul into carpets that later became part of her children’s and grandchildren’s dowries.

With the income from those carpets, they bought land and built a home. Though she couldn’t read or write, she became the architect of her own house — one built with love and hardship, just like her carpets. She sent all her children to university, though she herself never went to school.

My grandmother was the embodiment of the Iranian woman: authentic, artistic, and selfless.
After her passing, we engraved one of her carpet motifs on her tombstone. That design, like her, glowed with a quiet and enduring presence.

She couldn’t read, but she had memorized many poems. One of the last things she ever told me was this verse:
“A grain of fortune is worth more than a heap of art,
but even without fortune, art continues to shine.”

Molook is a tribute to her — a woman who is gone, but whose artistry lives on. The light she left in my heart became the beacon for this path.
The Molook logo shows a mother holding two children: a symbol of femininity, protection, tenderness, and creation.

Molook honors all the women who remained unnamed, but kept the name of Iranian culture alive.
