Important Note: Viscose/Silk Rug Characteristics

As with all viscose/silk rugs, this rug requires special care:

• Please Read Our Blog Before Purchase: Click here so you fully understand the nature of these rugs. The guide covers: the unique characteristics of viscose fibre, cleaning & maintenance challenges, spill management & water sensitivity, and what to expect over time (sheen, shading, texture changes).

• Pile Shading: Blade rugs show shading depending on pile direction and lighting.

• Size Tolerance: Allow up to 4% variation due to the hand-crafted nature, even with two rugs of the same size.

Handmade Viscose and silk Rug Characteristics
Our handmade rugs are individually crafted, so each one is unique with natural variations known as abrash in colour, size, design, pattern, yarn, stitching, and texture. Shedding is normal and expected — sometimes lasting for the rug’s entire life — but it does not affect durability. Loose fibres and stray threads can simply be trimmed with scissors (never pulled) to avoid damage. These natural characteristics, along with mixed yarn colours, slight imperfections, and subtle texture differences, add charm and authenticity rather than being faults. If you prefer a perfectly uniform look, machine-made synthetic rugs may be more suitable, and any exchange will still have its own unique variations.
