Know before you buy
The rug is constructed using reclaimed silk and wool fibers sourced from vintage saris. This process gives the material a second life, reducing waste while creating a unique, luminous texture that is impossible to replicate with new materials.
The sun-drying process is used to set the low-impact dyes and cure the fibers, which contributes to the rug's signature soft, natural glow. This method ensures the colors have a subtle, organic depth rather than a flat, synthetic appearance.
While the silk and wool blend is durable due to its hand-knotted construction, it is a delicate piece. It is best suited for low-to-medium traffic areas like bedrooms or formal living rooms to preserve the integrity of the fibers.
Regular vacuuming without the beater bar is essential to remove dust and debris. For any spills or deep stains, professional cleaning is strongly recommended to protect the natural fibers and the integrity of the dyes.
The combination of wool and silk creates a sophisticated contrast; the wool provides a sturdy, structured base, while the silk adds a soft, lustrous sheen. The result is a tactile surface that feels both substantial and luxurious underfoot.
