Questions
What makes your rugs different from machine-made alternatives?
Our handwoven rugs use natural wool and dyes that last decades, unlike synthetic materials in machine-made rugs. Each piece shows unique character from artisan weaving rather than uniform factory production.
Can I get rugs cleaned at your Seattle location?
We don't perform cleaning in-house but maintain a list of trusted professionals specializing in hand-cleaning techniques for high-quality rugs.
Do you offer international shipping?
While our showroom serves Seattle, we coordinate shipping arrangements for clients outside the Pacific Northwest region.
How do I maintain my handwoven rug?
Regular vacuuming without beater bars, immediate spot cleaning with cold water, and professional cleaning every 2-5 years ensure optimal longevity.
Are custom sizes available for all rugs?
Most designs can be custom-sized, though availability depends on specific rug patterns and weaver capabilities.
What's your return policy?
We encourage home trials before purchase. Returns require prior authorization and may incur restocking fees for special orders.
