Handwoven with silk thread from thousands of recycled saris, those staples of Indian culture which date back to 2800 BCE. For these rugs, silk saris are taken apart thread by thread before artisans sort them by color, and spin them into a yarn of hundreds of shades, giving it a depth and range of hues that can't be achieved through dyeing.
The DesignThis piece is richly striated with many shifting tones of earthy magenta and chocolate.
The MaterialSari silk yarn is made by removing individual threads from recycled silk saris, then sorting these threads by color group - so a pile of red yarn might have hundreds of different shades of red, which, when spun together, gives a beautiful depth of tone which can't be recreated by dyeing. In this piece, recycled sari silk is added to a cotton foundation for durability.

- Shake gently to remove debris, and clean regularly using non-rotary vacuum.
- Rotate on occasion to ensure even wear over time.
- In case of spills, gently blot with a damp cloth.
- Scrubbing may cause stain to spread. If stain persists, we recommend bringing your rug to a professional.
- Use gentle soap and water; harsh chemicals may damage the fiber.
- Prevent moisture build-up by making sure your rug is completely dry after cleaning—hanging it in the sun for a few hours can help with this.
