Sustainability

In 2017, 3.4 million tons of rugs and carpets sat in US landfills, with an additional 2500 tons being added annually. Over 74% of all rugs and carpets end up in landfills at the end of their lives, which means that purchasing machine made or synthetic rugs can have a long-lasting impact on the planet. Choosing Vintage hand-knotted rugs is the right choice both in terms of quality and sustainability. Not only are hand-knotted rugs best in class in terms of quality, durability and value, they are also the most sustainable option as you would be re-homing an already existing rug! At Tapestry of Rugs, one of our goals is to create awareness about the high sustainability of hand-knotted rugs so if you are in the market for a rug refresh; you have options to feel good about getting a piece of art with a zero-carbon footprint. By supporting local rug artisans, you would also be supporting a sustainable practice that will have less impact on the planet. Purpose? To sell antique and vintage rugs to every household why vintage? They are sustainable, pieces of art history, 100% eco-friendly and have a 0 carbon footprint
