Region of Origin

Bursa was the very first capital of the Ottoman Empire, and can be found just south of Istanbul. The town is known for its production of silk—widely used in contemporary Turkish rug design.

Material Details

Recycled polyester is transformed through heat into a soft, durable, and sustainable fiber with the look and feel of wool. Cotton is a vegetable fiber widely used across rug traditions because of its sturdiness and longevity. Jute is a natural fiber with a golden sheen, known for its tensile strength and versatility.

• We recommend that you regularly vacuum your rug to remove dirt and grime. Depending on how heavily your rug is used, just once or twice a month is adequate. Too much vacuuming can wear down the knots and fibers more quickly. If you have a suction attachment on your vacuum cleaner, use that instead of a rotary vacuum.
• Every few months, you’ll also want to flip your rug over and vacuum the back to get the grit out of the foundation of the rug. It also helps to rotate your rug once a year to ensure even wear over time.
• Every 3-5 years, we recommend getting your rug professionally hand-washed. Please do not take it to get steam or dry cleaned—this will almost certainly damage the rug! Hand-washing requires the use of a pH-balanced shampoo, worked into the rug by hand with a soft-bristled brush, before being rinsed thoroughly. This process should be repeated a few times.
• In case of spills, use a paper towel or cloth to blot the liquid. Add some clean water sparingly to the spot to dilute the stain (or wet a paper towel or cloth) and blot. If the stain is persistent, try using a mild detergent. Repeat this process until the stain is removed.
