What is Sisal?
Sisal is a natural fiber derived from the long, green leaves of the 'agave sisalana' cactus plant. Sisal grows in semi-arid regions in Africa and Brazil. Sisal fibers (which can be up to three feet long) are sustainably harvested by hand from the leaves of the cactus plant. Sisal is not the same fiber as coir or jute. Sisal is stronger and more durable than other natural fibers. In fact it is used for rope and twine. These qualities make Sisal a preferred material for carpet and rugs. Sisal’s textured look is a favorite of interior designers.
What are the advantages of natural fibers?
Sisal, sisal wool and jute area rugs have excellent durability for residential and light commercial applications. The machine woven, natural fibers are anti-static and non-toxic. The plant material creates healthy indoor humidity levels and prevents the build-up of static. The natural fibers have no off-gassing fumes to irritate the eyes or throat.
What kind of inserts do you use for Decorative Pillows?
We use 95% Feather and 5% Down fillers with 233tc cotton cover to fill our decorative pillows. An extra size insert is used to fill the pillow covers which makes them look plush.Our fillers are extra weight providing better bounce back and resilience. The duck feathers are sterilized.The entire filler can be removed from the decorative pillow cover and machine washed.
