Gulare Mahmudova, a resident of Lahij settlement in the Ismayilli district, has been engaged in carpet weaving for many years. From a young age, Gulare developed a passion for this craft, learning its intricacies from her mother.

With over 30 years of experience as a professional carpet weaver, Gulare primarily focuses on creating pile carpets.

In addition to carpet weaving, she also produces traditional headwear (arakhchins) and shuttle-woven textiles in various styles.

Gulare notes that her products are mainly sold on a commission basis, with orders coming not only from within Azerbaijan but also from abroad.

To expand the market for her handmade products and increase income from her family business, Gulare Mahmudova joined the “ABAD” project.

Her products are now available for sale at “ABAD” artisanal centers.
