Tufted from eco-friendly TENCEL™ fibers, our Botanical Silk rugs offer the look and feel of silk with a softer, more durable hand. The surface is smooth and plush, catching light with a subtle sheen and a velvety finish. Botanical Silk is sourced from responsibly managed forests and produced using 99.8% recycled solvents. It is EU Ecolabel–certified and naturally antibacterial. Subtle color variation, visible footprints, and light tracking are natural characteristics of the fiber. Some shedding is expected during the first few months of use. Each rug is expertly crafted in Portugal by a decades-old purveyor. Previously called "Tencel."
