Vintage rugs are a great option for a sustainable home. Handmade rugs such as ours are made with wool, cotton, and natural dyes and are extremely durable, repairable, and literally made to last lifetimes. When they finally reach the end of their lifecycle, these completely organic rugs will decompose in a relatively short time.
Many modern day machine-made rugs contain plastics and off-gas toxic chemicals into our homes. These rugs are often difficult to clean and repair and frequently end up in landfills, taking thousands of years to break down.
