About Gigimi

Where Tradition Meets Authentic Craftsmanship

Welcome to Gigimi – A Curated Journey into the Heart of Anatolian Heritage.

Based in New Mexico, USA, Gigimi LLC is more than just an e-commerce platform; it is a bridge between ancient traditions and modern homes. Born from a profound respect for the stories woven into every thread of a handcrafted kilim, rug, or cicim, Gigimi reflects a unique blend of traditional, artistic, cultural, and academic expertise.

Our Expertise

Alongside our curated collection, every antique-vintage rug, kilim, and handcrafted bag is individually selected with a focus on cultural value and artistic integrity. With our deep-rooted cultural and traditional knowledge combined with an academic foundation, we don’t just sell products; we preserve narratives. From the “Elibelinde” (Hands-on-Hips) motif symbolizing fertility to the “Eye” motif protecting against the evil eye, we offer our global customers the historical and ethnographic context behind every single piece.

Why Gigimi?

  • US-Based Reliability: Operating as a registered LLC in New Mexico, we provide our customers with the security of a US-based business, offering secure payment options via Stripe and PayPal and transparent global shipping.

  • A Scholarly Approach: Our founder’s expertise in traditional and cultural arts ensures that each item is described with ethnographic accuracy. This makes Gigimi a trusted destination for collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.
