Yes - and this is part of what makes each piece unique. Many of our rugs are vintage textiles, handwoven decades ago using traditional techniques. Over time, gentle wear, softened fibres, and subtle variations in colour naturally develop. These traces speak to age, craftsmanship, and authenticity - not damage. Our poufs are newly made from these vintage rugs. While the textile itself may carry signs of its history, the pouf has not been previously used in a home as furniture. Each piece is carefully cleaned, restored where needed, and described honestly so you know exactly what to expect.

Our pieces are made using natural fibres and traditional techniques. With gentle care, they will soften, age, and carry their story forward with you.

While durable, they are not intended for heavy or daily wear. To help your pieces age beautifully: • Rotate items occasionally for even wear • Keep away from moisture and heat sources • Handle with care to preserve fibres and stitching With thoughtful use and gentle care, these pieces will continue to soften and develop character over time.
