What is a hand-tufted rug?

Hand tufting is a newer technique, it has been developed to combine the ancient craft of weaving with modern day technology. The way hand-tufting works is that the weaver starts with a sheet of canvas or similar material and pulls wool strands through this using a tufting gun or tool.

What materials do you use?

The most common materials for our rugs are Bamboo, Tencel and New Zealand Wool. We also work with other materials such as silk, depending on your preference. Rugs can be made entirely of one material or in varying combinations of materials. We will be able to advise you on texture, the benefits of each material and which material is best suited to your needs.

Why is my rug a different color than advertised?

Color differences - all digital images will be shown differently from screen to screen, it would not be accepted as product fault due to digital color differences.

Colors will also show up differently on different materials, For example, the same shade of white will show be noticeably different on wood versus bamboo silk and Tencel silk as they have reflective properties, colors will also look differently depending on which angle and how much light is in the room. This is natural.

What is your exchange/return policy?

We advise you to use our home consultation service to ensure you are happy with the chosen rug before proceeding. Every piece of handmade bespoke rug is based on client's sizing, color, material preference hence we are unable to offer any refund or exchange.
