This is a unique artisan piece, carefully designed by Lorena Canals and sustainably handcrafted in our own factory using natural fibers and upcycled materials, non-toxic dyes, and a firm commitment to the planet and people. From the design process, to material sourcing and production, we always choose options that minimize waste and ensure long-lasting designs.
Our rugs stand for solidarity. Touched by seeing children whose future is determined by their family's economic circumstances, Lorena Canals decided to offer her own social support by giving them access to education. This is how the Sakûla Project was born, a nursery school in the north of India where street children can receive food and education. There are currently 120 children attending the school and counting.
If you own one of our signature home rugs, you know it is a one-of-a-kind piece. Because it is handcrafted by Indian artisans and not the result of mass production. Each Lorena Canals product is carefully handcrafted by our artisans in our own factory in India using ancestral craft techniques. The result is a piece of art with slight variations inherent in artisanal work. Finding beauty in imperfection.
Lightweight, practical, and above all, washable! Cotton is a natural and renewable fiber, known for its high absorption and insulation properties.
Not only is it soft and comfortable to the touch, but it is also hypoallergenic, durable and easy to clean, all which make a cotton rug a great choice for your home. With proper care, it will last for many years.
Washable: We are the creators of the washable rug concept. This rug is machine washable at home, keeping it flawless wash after wash. They're ideal for everyday use, for homes with children and pets, as they allow you to easily remove any stain just by putting them in the washing machine. Making life easier!
The design of the rugs is perfect. They are so beautiful.
Unfortunately, the rugs had a second hand shop smell. This is understandable as they are made from recycled material. Still the smell was too strong for me.
I washed them on the next day. I wanted to get rid of the smell and did not care about the washing instructions. I used too hot (60 degrees) water for washing.
The rugs did not smell and change the size after washing them in the washing machine and drying in the dryer. I washed them separatly as they are large. Unfortunately, one of the rugs changed the color. It is darker now.
I do not care about the color change as I love the idea that old clothes/rugs can have the second usage and become the beatiful rugs at one day. So, I keep rugs next to each other and enjoy that I can have the new rugs with smaller carbon foot print.
