Since our products are made from vintage textiles, each pair we make is completely unique! Even two pairs cut from the same carpet can look very different depending on placement of the pattern, borders vs. interior, etc.
The carpets themselves are vintage, generally with some sort of damage that makes them no longer suitable for use in a home. We repurpose the intact parts as shoes and accessories.
Yes! We photograph each one-of-a-kind product individually, so the two main images at the very top of the page are exactly what you'll receive. Any additional images and videos are other examples of the same style, just to show you what it looks like in action.

"Wonderful!! Suggest the handles be 5cm longer or the strap be adjustable or shorter for those of us not so tall, enabling one to carry the tote over the shoulder. Would love to acquire another Artemis piece, but will need to save first. Thank you. Zuly. PS shipping and packaging were superb."
"Love it. Classy. Fits my laptop perfectly."
"My first purchase from Artemis Designs and I am loving it. The superb craftsmanship and attention to detail is better than totes priced much higher and not originals! I look forward to using the tote on two travel adventures this year as well as just when I want something special to jazz up an outfit. I see a pair of your beautiful shoes in my future!"
"Delivered quickly and product is as pictured."
"Love it! So well crafted and the strap is strong enough and long enough for the bag."
"Though the tote is more faded than the picture I ordered from It is beautiful.I wish you had more black and white checked areas in your products, which are are SUPER products.Thank YOU"
Ours is a love story; a magical carpet ride started in 2007 when designer Milicent Armstrong first fell in love with shoes and bags made from vintage Kilim carpets on a trip to Istanbul.
At Artemis Design Co., our chain of production is hands-on and handmade. Our kilim products are crafted from hand-sourced vintage textiles, and each pair of shoes takes two full days to create.
