Moroccan sustainably sourced, vegetable tanned leather and wool vintage kilim
This product is handmade with handwoven vintage fabric. We believe the minor imperfections associated with vintage fabric are part of the charm and uniqueness of the item.
This product is also made with Moroccan leather, thought to be some of the best quality leather in the world. The leather is tanned by hand in 1000+ year old tanneries using a process passed down from generation to generation. The strong leather smell will disappear with time and use. Should you prefer to speed up the process, you can hang the item outside in indirect sunlight or apply baking soda to your item and put it in a sealed pillowcase, garbage bag or large ziploc bag for 48 hours. Afterwards, simply vacuum or wipe down with a soft cloth and enjoy! You can be sure that the top-quality leather our artisans use will last a lifetime and only get better with age!
We do our best to take photos that accurately represent the true colors and nature of the handmade items, but colors vary across monitors, and photos can’t highlight all aspects of a product.
