AKREP, Oriental Rug Society in Gothenburg, Sweden
is a society for people interested in textiles, such as rugs,
kilims, saddle-bags, sacks and other textiles related to the Orient.
Swedish textiles also have their important part in the society.
No dealer is a member of the society.

We had a fantastic exhibition

And we show all textiles from the exhibition on this site.
