ABOUT OUR HANDCRAFTED RUGS
We use natural, undyed materials whenever possible. We source the finest materials throughout the world and import them to the countries where our goods are produced.
No. Our rugs are always woven by hand by skilled artisans. Each rug is exquisitely crafted over a period of months.
When you receive your Ben Soleimani, Inc. rug, it may shed, which is common and acceptable for artisanal rugs. We try to mitigate shedding by using the longest fibers possible, but some initial shedding should be expected, which will subside. This is known as “fluff”. Fluff is created from excess fibers from the spinning process. This is not a sign of poor quality. We recommend vacuuming until the fluffing ceases. Please reference our Rug Care Section.
Due to the handmade nature of our product, variations in size should be expected within a few inches.
We work with GoodWeave, an organization that is dedicated to eliminating child labor, forced labor, and bonded labor practices to assure that the goods we make, without question, will always be produced with socially conscious labor.
RUG CARE
Our rugs are designed with the finest natural fibers such as wool, silk, flax, and jute. Below are some suggestions for caring for your rug:
Our Performance Rugs are designed with the look and feel of a natural wool rug. We incorporate man-made yarns in the construction, which resist spills and moisture.
Ensure your vacuum is always on the lowest setting. Do not use a cleaner head with teeth, or a beater bar, as this will damage your rug. We recommend suction-only vacuums to lessen the possibility of damage to the fiber and fringe.
Fading is a natural occurrence to any item exposed to the sun. The best way to avoid uneven fading is to rotate the rug every three months, so the rug will wear evenly.
Sometimes individual strings may stick out of the pile. This happens most commonly during the first few weeks of use. These long, untamed fibers that appear above the surface of the rug are leftovers of the knot itself. These knots aren’t open or damaged, or an indication that your rug is flawed. This is simply a part of the process of hand woven rugs. Do not pull a string out of the pile, carefully trim with sharp scissors.

Leather is a natural material. Slight variations in texture, color, or appearance from hide to hide may occur.Leather is particularly subject to variations in color and naturally occurring markings. In addition, no piece of furniture can be produced from a single hide. These characteristics make leather unique, adding to both the beauty and character of the leather and are not considered defects. Over time, leather will naturally develop a patina and a softer, more supple feel enhancing the comfort and character.
Our leathers are both pigment- and aniline-dyed for softness, beauty, and durability.
