Kapanlagi.com - Continuing his father's carpet business, Atta Ul Karim opened Al-Barkat Carpets in Indonesia since 2009. From initially having only one store, it is now spread across various major cities in Indonesia.

"The first time I came to Indonesia in 2009 to continue my parents' business. At first, I only had one store, and now, thank God, there are 27 branches in Bogor, Bandung, Medan, Surabaya, and others," said Atta when met at his store in the Fatmawati area, South Jakarta, last Saturday (15/8/2020).

1. Carpet with Sultan Prices

The carpets sold by this 1993-born man are not ordinary because they are imported directly from several countries including Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, and of course his hometown, Pakistan. Designed from high-quality materials, it is no wonder that the prices range from millions to billions of rupiah.

"Carpets from different countries, for example, Iran, some are handmade using wool and silk. That's what makes them expensive, because they are made by hand and the threads are thin, with 180 knots embroidered in one inch. If made by a good machine using acrylic material," Atta explained.

"Carpets are an art object, so there is no price limit because it is similar to paintings. The prices range from hundreds of millions to one billion. They are large in size and 100% made of silk," he added.

2. Celebrity Subscribers

It turns out that the carpets sold by Atta Ul Karim have become a collection of many celebrities. Most of them are looking for carpets that are not owned by others.

"There are many artists who buy here, including Ashanty, Tyas Mirasih, Titi Kamal, Nikita Willy, and many more. Because they are artists, they like something that others don't have. It's like they are the only ones who have that motif. They prefer artistic and limited edition pieces," Atta concluded.
