All Marmi rugs are handmade by artisanal craftsmen and weavers in Turkey using natural materials and sustainable production methods.
CRAFTMANSHIP
Marmi works with traditional artisanal craftsmen and weavers in the founders’ native land, Turkey. Creating sustainable livelihoods for small local economies and supporting communities that are predominantly women is a major objective of the Marmi brand.
PRODUCTION METHODS
Marmi rugs are made by felting, hand-tufting and hand-weaving. Made by talented local artisans with a passion for their craft, and committed to improving its production methods towards a zero-waste future, Marmi offers high quality rugs which can also be tailored to the specific needs of the customer.
MATERIALS
Marmi is commited to using only natural fibers such as wool, recycled cotton, jute and TENCEL for the production of its rugs.
Wool
Wool offers quality, flexibility and is 100% biodegradable. We use Turkish wool to reduce the environmental impact as all our rugs are made in Turkey.
TENCEL
The soft and silky Tencel fibers are created from environmentally responsible processes from the sustainably sourced natural raw material wood. Soft and silky in texture, Tencel is anti-bacterial and wrinkle-resistant.
Recycled Cotton
Cotton that comes from the surplus of textile factories in Turkey is an eco-friendly textile alternative to regular cotton. Lightweight and breathable, this material minimizes the environmental impact of textiles that end up in landfills.
Jute
Extracted from the bark of the jute plant, jute is a natural fiber with long, soft and silky fibers. It’s a strong fiber that’s cost effective and eco-friendly.
