Do you use chemicals in your rugs?Updated 2 days ago

The rugs on our site have been tested and confirmed to be free of any harmful chemicals, herbicides, or pesticides. Both our Studio Revival and vintage collections are not treated with any harmful chemicals such as flame-resistant coatings and, according to our tests, do not contain PFAs.

Studio Revival rugs: Many of our Studio Revival rugs are Oeko-Tex Standard 100 approved, which means every component has been rigorously tested against a list of up to 350 toxic chemicals, including PFAs (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl compounds). We do professional quality control with an accredited international testing agency on the rugs we design. We use low-impact dyes for our designs which involve color. This means that our dyes are AZO-free with no heavy metals, and higher absorption rates than conventional dyes, creating less gray water run-off and reduced water consumption.

Vintage rugs: Some of our collections have undergone a second dyeing process which can utilize synthetic and natural dyes. We can confirm that any dyes used are always AZO-free and are lab-tested for safety.
