This product is woven using traditional hand loom methods in India, resulting in magnificent styling that can’t be replicated using modern tufting machines. A common characteristic of these carpets is that each metre is uniquely different. Variances in texture and product thickness naturally occur, which may manifest in joins being more noticeable. These characteristics are not considered manufacturing or installation faults or defects, but normal variances of a hand- made product. We strongly urge further discussion regarding this with your preferred retailer prior to purchase.
