In collaboration with the Tunisian makers, Fair Fabrics has designed and developed a wool rug in a geometric pattern. The rugs are woven traditionally and with a natural color palette by a Tunisian artisan workshop.

The wool comes from local farmers and is sorted and spun at a central location, so that it can then be distributed to the various weaving cooperatives. The wool from this region (northwest Tunisia) is known for its quality, so it is not surprising that the weaving craft is an important economic pillar here.

The years of experience of the weavers ensure tight weaving, creating a high-quality rug. They are paid fairly for their craftsmanship and in the meantime the cooperatives from the region work together on the growth and professionalization of their workshops. All Fair Fabrics rugs are provided with a label on the bottom with the name of the maker.
