Materials

We curate materials for beauty, durability, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. Wool is our most popular base; silk adds luxury and sheen. Bamboo silk and Tencel offer eco-conscious alternatives. Synthetics like PET are practical for high-traffic areas. Blends combine the best properties. We help you choose based on your space and values.

Wool fibres have natural oils that repel liquids, reducing stain risk. It insulates and feels warm underfoot. Wool also ages gracefully—it becomes softer and more character-filled with time. It’s the ideal base material for most residential and hospitality projects. Sourcing ethical, sustainable wool is important to us.

Silk reflects light beautifully, creating visual depth and luminosity in designs. It feels luxurious underfoot but is more delicate and less stain-resistant than wool. Wool-silk blends offer a balance. Pure silk is ideal for formal lounges, low-traffic bedrooms, or as accent pieces in larger rugs.

Silk adds unmatched visual beauty to rugs but requires care. It’s delicate to abrasion and staining. However, in appropriate rooms (formal spaces, adult-only areas), silk rugs are stunning and can last decades. We advise on placement and maintenance to maximize its lifespan.

Bamboo silk (regenerated from bamboo pulp) and Tencel (similar, made from eucalyptus) are sustainable, vegan alternatives to traditional silk. They’re lustrous and beautiful but slightly less delicate than silk. Ideal for clients who want silk’s aesthetics with better durability and sustainable sourcing.

Sustainability matters to us. We’re transparent about material sourcing and continually improve our supply chain. Ask us specifically about the origin of materials for your project—we have detailed information. We can’t guarantee perfection, but we’re committed to responsible practices.

Synthetics are practical and underrated. PET (made from recycled plastic bottles) is durable, easy-clean, and environmentally responsible. Nylon blends are equally tough. These materials still allow beautiful custom design and colour. They’re perfect for high-traffic, high-mess homes.

Blends are smart. You get wool’s durability with silk’s lustre, or cotton’s texture with wool’s warmth. Common blends include 70% wool / 30% silk for luxury with durability, or wool-cotton-jute for textured, eco-conscious pieces. Blends are discussed during material selection.
