Prune
Vintage platinum/salvia
With a rustic appearance, similar to the “pezzotti”, traditional rugs of the Valtellina region, Northern Italy, Prune presents a distinctive, ecological spirit. In this carpet, the patches, the rags, and the old fabrics used in the original “pezzotto” give way to the exclusive yarn obtained from recycled PET, becoming an innovative proposal and a fine complement for the outdoors.
Care & Maintenance
A correct handling and small daily attentions ensure that you may preserve over time the tactile and aesthetic qualities of the carpet. In addition to the quality of the cleaning, which must strictly be professional in case of handmade carpets, there are a number of important recommendations to be made. A few inconveniences may occur soon after first buying a hand-crafted carpet for the first time. Recognizing them and knowing how to deal with them can help you prevent irreversible damage.
Obtained from the post-consumer reconversion of PET bottles through an innovative depolymerization process, the ecological yarn guarantees constant qualities of ductility, resistance to use and UV rays, as well as an extraordinary softness. 100% recycled and in turn infinitely recyclable, this yarn represents an important milestone in terms of sustainability and technical quality. Compared to the virgin polyester production system, the recycling process from which the ecological yarn derives guarantees an energy saving of 50%.
