Life’s Journey on a Magic Carpet

What if the path to success isn't what you expect it to be? For Ian it was a magic carpet ride. What began as a passion for fashion and life as a hippie in the late sixties led him on an unexpected journey - one that took him overland from Europe to the remote villages of India, eventually stumbling, due to a family tragedy, into the magical world of handmade carpets. In his book Ian reflects on the challenging moments, chance encounters, hilarious travel stories and unlikely friendships that led to success. Over 45 years, he transformed Hali, a business he began with one store, into a renowned brand in the rug industry. His story isn't just about rugs- it's about the unexpected turns that define a life. Through his journey, Ian shares the lessons that helped him build a successful business from the ground up. Brimming with powerful insight and charm, this memoir will inspire you to chase your dreams on your own magic carpet. - Katrina Burge (editor)
