Product and Authenticity
Are your rugs authentic vintage pieces?
We guarantee the authenticity of every rug we sell. Our vintage rugs are sourced directly from skilled artisans and trusted suppliers, carefully handpicked by Nedim himself. If you have any questions or need more information, please don’t hesitate to contact us!

The owner, Nedim Korkmaz, hand-picks each rug from a variety of vendors in Turkey, Morocco, and beyond. He travels to small communities where hand-weaving rugs remains a main source of income.

Our vintage rugs are thoroughly inspected for quality. While they may have minor signs of wear, these add to their character and charm.

Returns and Exchanges
What is your return policy?
- All items, including those purchased with a discount, are final sale.
- Our rugs are one-of-a-kind, sourced from different eras and regions.
- While our expertise allows us to estimate the composition and the year it was woven, each piece carries its own unique story.
- We do our best to document any restorations or mending larger than a 3" x 3" square in the photos and descriptions.
What if my rug arrives damaged?
- Please carefully review descriptions and photos of the rug prior to purchasing. All rugs labeled “vintage” may have minimal wear and tear from age. They may have also been restored or repaired. This adds to the personality of the rug.
- In addition, handwoven rugs are imperfect in nature, as they are made by imperfect humans. This means that measurements may be slightly off from one side to the other. It could also mean that patterns and colors are not perfectly matched throughout the rug.
- With that said, if your rug appears damaged upon arrival, please send us an email at info@nomadicvintagepdx.com with photos and description of the damage, so we can arrange a solution for you.
