Care + FAQ

You can vacuum your rug, as needed. If you have a powerful vacuum cleaner, it is best to use a low setting. You may also take your rug outside and shake/beat to remove debris.

To eliminate odors and humidity, let it dry in the sun for a day or two. Keep in mind that too much direct sun exposure may cause colors in the carpet to fade.
Make sure carpets do not stay wet or humid. If you store it, we do not recommend storing it in a bag.

You may notice some shedding with fluffier wool rugs. This is normal and will lessen with time and use. You can regularly vacuum and brush with a plastic bristled hand brush or broom to help speed the process along.

For any spills, you can use an absorbent cloth or paper towels to blot out as much of the spill as possible. If still visible, use a small amount of water and try again. If the stain persists, you can spot clean using dilute gentle laundry soap and water, though it is best to test a small area first to make sure the soap you are using is appropriate for cleaning the rug. After the rug has dried, give it a good vacuum to fluff it back up.

Otherwise, we recommend that you can take your rug to a professional carpet cleaner.

Yes, all of our carpets are professionally cleaned in Morocco prior to shipment.

We always recommend options that are both environmentally friendly and cost friendly.

To create a super comfortable, sturdy seat (and to limit landfill) you can re-use your old clothing, linen bed sheets, towels and other pre-loved fabric that you have laying around your home. Another option is to stuff your pouf with multiple feather filled bed pillows.

Our preferred method is to use poufs as storage for out-of-season clothing and linens - that way you save space in your closet, too!

You may opt to use polyester fill, though the poufs need to be stuffed quite densely to achieve the same type of sturdy seat that is created with fabric filling as noted above.

HOW DO I FILL MY MEDITATION CUSHION?

Meditation cushions are often filled with fabric remnants, buckwheat hulls, kapok, or old clothes/sheets. Another environmentally friendly idea is to use floor poufs to capsule your wardrobe - storing seasonal clothing inside will help keep your closet clutter free!

HOW DO I FILL MY PILLOW?

You can always re-use old pillows as an insert for your pillow case, or use new cushion inserts to stuff your cushion. Pillow inserts of various sizes can be ordered on Amazon or found in retail stores such as Ikea. If you have trouble finding the exact size of your Bohimi Design cushion, we suggest you use inserts that are a few sizes larger than your pillow cover, or use multiple inserts to get a full, even feel. You can also pad out with additional linen, fabric remnants, or polyester fill.

Please keep in mind that vintage goods have lived many lovely years previously and most vintage pieces have minor imperfections and areas of age and wear - we believe this adds to their unique history and beauty.

All hand made items may show individual quirks or slight variations, which only adds to their story and charm.

These are not considered faults, and by placing an order, you accept that these vintage and hand made items may contain inherent irregularities.

Ikat fabric is a highly coveted fabric and a timeless art. It is thought to have originated in the Silk Road region, which is known for it's silk and cotton fabrics. Ikat is a painstaking and time-consuming process that requires precision – and patience. Ikat is truly an art form, and learning to perform the process correctly can take years of study and practice.

Ikat is an ancient technique, a method of wrapping yarns to form areas of resist (similar to tie-dyeing), and then dyeing those sections of yarn. Once the threads have been suitably dyed and dried, the weaver places them on the loom to form the correct pattern. The finished result, is an ikat fabric which characteristically appears to have vibrating colors flowing into one another.
