Mt. Refuge provides homage to the tradition of ancient Tibetan rugs with our first collection of limited edition Tiger rugs. Tiger rugs are extremely rare, and difficult to find, and much of their history is shrouded in mystery.
Tibetan refugees brought their weaving tradition to Nepal to found a new industry, which drew the world’s attention to this otherwise mysterious and ancient craft. Tiger rugs hold a special place amongst Tibetan rugs, depicting one of the most esoteric art forms of this tradition.

Tiger rugs are unique in colors featuring shades
of red to rust and gold, unlike the vast majority of blue Tibetan rugs.* Tiger rugs also feature a wider variety of abstraction, with a high level of artistic sophistication.
Our first collection seeks to capture the diversity, creativity, and modernity of Tiger rugs; their beauty is a source of wonder and inspiration for us.* Utilizing ancient world Tibetan rugmaking techniques, we bring to life renowned artist Tsherin Sherpa’s contemporary Tiger designs, in our first collection.
