HANDLOOM PLACEMATS POLANCO (SET OF 2)

If you own one of our signature home rugs, you know it is a one-of-a-kind piece. Because it is handcrafted by Indian artisans and not the result of mass production. Each Lorena Canals product is carefully handcrafted by our artisans in our own factory in India using ancestral craft techniques. The result is a piece of art with slight variations inherent in artisanal work. Finding beauty in imperfection.

Lightweight, practical, and above all, washable! Cotton is a natural and renewable fiber, known for its high absorption and insulation properties.

Not only is it soft and comfortable to the touch, but it is also hypoallergenic, durable and easy to clean, all which make a cotton rug a great choice for your home. With proper care, it will last for many years.

Our rugs stand for solidarity. Touched by seeing children whose future is determined by their family's economic circumstances, Lorena Canals decided to offer her own social support by giving them access to education. This is how the Sakûla Project was born, a nursery school in the north of India where street children can receive food and education. There are currently 120 children attending the school and counting.

All items in the Handloom Legacy collection —except rugs— can be easily washed at home in the washing machine. It is essential to wash at a cold temperature, ideally at 20ºC (68ºF), to preserve the quality of the materials and extend their lifespan.

Handloom is a slow crafting process where each thread is placed one by one without the use of electricity. An ancestral technique that requires time, precision, and reflects the essence of true craftsmanship.
