Chaput rugs are traditional flat-woven kilims that have been over-dyed to achieve bold, contemporary colours while preserving their authentic hand-woven structure. Apex HALI's Chaput collection pairs old-world craftsmanship with modern interior aesthetics.
What Is a Chaput Rug?
Chaput (çaput) is a flat-weave kilim style made from repurposed or mixed yarn, traditionally produced in Central Anatolia. The over-dyeing process gives each piece a distinctive, slightly distressed colour depth that cannot be replicated artificially.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is over-dyeing?
Over-dyeing means applying a new layer of dye over an existing woven rug. This intensifies or transforms the colour while keeping the original hand-woven pattern visible beneath.
Is a Chaput rug suitable for high-traffic areas?
Yes. The flat-weave structure makes Chaput rugs durable and easy to clean, suitable for hallways, dining rooms, and living areas.
Can Chaput rugs be used outdoors?
Not recommended for permanent outdoor use. For shaded patios or covered terraces, occasional outdoor use is acceptable.
