FAQs
Every rug is handwoven in Egypt.
We work primarily with silk, premium wool, bamboo silk sourced from New Zealand, Uzbekistan, Indonesia, China & Egypt. Our wool is selected for its lanolin content, which provides natural stain resistance. All materials are tested for quality before entering production.
Natural wool rugs shed slightly when new, this is normal and temporary. Our finishing process includes multiple rounds of trimming and brushing to minimize initial shedding. Regular vacuuming during the first few weeks will quickly eliminate loose fibers. Shedding typically stops completely within a month of regular use.
With proper care, our rugs last generations. We have pieces from our first years still in daily use. Durability depends more on maintenance than traffic, dirt accumulation damages fibers over time. Regular cleaning preserves both appearance and structure.
