The past few years our collection has enlarged and now offers a bigger range of rugs and bath mats.

During an interview Tina once answered the question why she decided to add rugs to her collection as follows:

„The effect of a rug is immense. It can change the whole character of your interior“. The cotton rugs from our collection are handmade, but affordable so that even young families can afford to buy a good looking rug which has not been produced in a mass production and most of all: it was produced under fair conditions.

After a few years we have found a manufacturer who suits our brand and whom we visited every now and then to make sure that our rugs were produced under fair conditions. Each of our products is handwoven on a weaving loom. Furthermore, we wanted to create more lucency and get a seal of approval for our retailers and the buyers of our products. This is how our cooperation with GoodWeave was launched.

Since January 2014, all the carpets we produce have carried the GoodWeave seal.

We now work closely with this organisation, which is dedicated to ending illegal child labour in the textile industry. It stands for transparency and unannounced inspections throughout the entire carpet manufacturing process.

“GoodWeave monitors all suppliers and production sites. They check the working conditions as well as the working hours and make sure that no child labour is involved in the processes. It is a good organisation that we are happy to work with. In fact, I often meet the Goodweave staff during their inspection rounds when I visit the production sites. They are also responsible for opening schools for the workers and their families and are currently working on a new project on wastewater,” Tina explains. It is clear that there is a constant focus on improvements for the local people, their working environment and safeguarding the cultural heritage that goes hand in hand with the local people’s work. Each rug is given a seal with a code that can be used to trace the origin of the rug.

In cooperation with the GoodWeave programme, we support health care, education campaigns on human rights and health, as well as care and education for the children of the weavers.

The licence fees we pay for certification are used to finance social and educational programmes in India and Nepal, among other things.
