⚠️ Important Note About Images & Handmade Finish
The images shown are high-fidelity design visualizations created to showcase the artistic concept. As each rug is custom-made to order, the final physical product will feature unique handmade characteristics. While the overall design and plush thickness will meet our high standards, minor details—such as the exact sharpness of the square edges or the pile height—may differ slightly from the digital concept, ensuring your rug is a one-of-a-kind work of art.

⏳ Production Time
Standard Lead Time: 4–5 weeks

Peak Periods: Up to 6 weeks (due to the high volume of artisan orders)

Why it takes this time: Each rug is made to order, not mass-produced. After confirming your size, our artisans craft it step by step—preparing the wool, hand-weaving the grid, and shaping the pile for premium comfort. This dedicated time is what makes it truly handmade and built to last.

🧼 Care Tips
Vacuum: Use low suction regularly; avoid harsh rotating brush/roller settings.

Spills: Blot quickly with a clean, dry cloth (do not rub).

Rotation: Rotate the rug occasionally to ensure even wear.
