The dye used in the rugs is an all-natural vegetable dye made from roots, flower petals, and tree bark. This dye is an ecological alternative to chemical dyes and is hearty enough to withstand years of use and washing. The majority of the weavers are women from villages across Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, and India. By supporting these artisans, we are able to create more job opportunities for female weavers who might not have access to such opportunities otherwise. Additionally, the rug weaving industry benefits the local farmers as they can sell their wool and local artisans who create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs. Please note that due to the handmade nature of these rugs, variations in size and design may occur. Regular vacuuming and annual professional cleaning will keep your rug looking new for years to come. Also, please keep in mind that color discrepancies may occur between this product and your computer screen. Imported
