Made from Recycled Materials
Our handwoven outdoor textiles are made of recycled plastic bottles and are UV stabilized for superior protection against the outdoor elements. To make the PET yarns, plastic bottles are being collected in India from all over the world. The bottles are broken down into flakes, processed, and dyed to create different colored yarns. On average, 12 1L bottles are used to create each pillow and 26 are recycled for each rug. See our blog to learn more about this process.
Pillows, throws, rugs, and picnic blankets are handloomed by artisans in India using techniques passed down through generations, adding a crafted quality to each piece. Many of our artisans use handloom pedal weaving, a loom which requires skilled hands and feet. Read the blog to learn more.
In addition to being protected from the elements, each textile piece can also withstand everyday wear and tear from life's everyday messes. Stains like mud and food are easily washed away with a water hose. Additional stain treatment may be needed for tougher stains like wine or dyes.
