Meticulously crafted. Unique. One-of-a-kind designs. These are just a few words that come to mind describing all of Lawrence of La Brea’s Handmade area rugs.
Handmade area rugs are created from many different areas around the world. Rugs from Persia and India, and of course, Oriental rugs are a few of the most recognizable and most often instantly come to mind when you think of a handmade rug.
All Lawrence of La Brea handmade rugs reflect unparalleled craftsmanship: intricate details and motifs; personal stories of the weaver, the tribe, the region where the rug originated, make each handmade rug special. These rugs aren’t perfect by design…they are designed to tell a story.
Handmade rugs are available in a multitude of fabrics from cotton and chenille, from wool to silk. Every handmade rug is knotted by hand; therefore, the knots and weaving are not perfectly uniform. The quality, time, attention to detail, the vision behind each of the handmade rugs make each one an extraordinary treasure that can be enjoyed for many generations to come!
Bamboo silk is made similar to viscose rugs, with the cellulose extracted from the bamboo being treated with the chemical solution, instead of wood pulp. This process breaks downs the hardened layer to eventually achieve the yarn of fiber. These fibers are light and soft to the touch, yet also offer amazing benefits such as being hypoallergenic and durable.
Because bamboo grows naturally on its own and faster than cotton, it is also considered to be more environmentally friendly. And while bamboo silk feels like silk, it is more sustainable than traditional silk. As with any type of silk fabric, it is important to keep your Lawrence of La Brea area rug away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and discoloration.
Bamboo silk is one of many cost-saving, eco-friendly solutions available to enhance your vision. Whether it’s a statement piece, an accent rug, or a runner, your bamboo silk rug from Lawrence of La Brea is guaranteed to be a hit!
