The SAND APACHE rug is an assembly of beige / ecru sheepskins - the dimensions of the rug in centimeters are 260 x 345 Each rug is different and unique. The assembled sheepskins bring a wild, warm ambience to any room. Each in its own way, they reveal their authentic texture and appeal to the senses with their ultra-soft material. Carine Boxy is a true artist who treats each rug as a floor sculpture, transforming the material into a profoundly human experience. Made in Belgium. It is the artisanal touch and the acceptance of imperfections that create the beauty and uniqueness of each object Materials used: sheepskins The sheepskins used come from establishments that practice sustainable flock management, thus ensuring ethical and ecologically responsible sourcing. These establishments are committed to minimizing their environmental impact and promoting animal welfare, making each skin not only a high-quality product but also a nature-friendly choice. The tanning process for these hides is carried out using ecological methods, such as vegetable tanning, which excludes the use of harmful chemicals and considerably reduces pollution. This approach enhances the hides' durability and biodegradability, making them compatible with a sustainable development approach. By choosing these sheepskins, you are participating in a circular economy, encouraging reuse and recycling, and helping to reduce resource consumption. The finished products offer remarkable longevity, avoiding frequent replacement and reducing the ecological footprint associated with the production of new goods. This commitment to responsible practices ensures that each hide provides not only aesthetics and comfort, but also peace of mind about its origin and environmental impact. Sheepskin rugs have a natural scent that can be highly appreciated for its authenticity and comfort. This scent reflects the purity of the materials used and the absence of aggressive chemical treatments, especially when the tanning is carried out using ecological methods such as vegetable tanning. Over time, this odor naturally diminishes, but may remain slightly perceptible, continuing to evoke the quality and natural origin of the product. Over time, sheepskin carpets may also change in appearance. Under the effect of daily use and exposure to light, the coat may become slightly rougher and the color may vary, taking on softer shades. These changes are not signs of deterioration, but rather markers of the carpet's life, each alteration adding to its unique character. Proper care can slow down these processes and help preserve the original look and texture for as long as possible, strengthening the bond between the rug and the space it covers.

Taking care of sheepskins can prolong their beauty and durability. Here are a few tips for caring for these delicate materials:

Avoid direct sunlight: Direct sunlight can discolor sheepskin. It's best to keep carpets and other sheepskin items out of direct sunlight.
Shake regularly: Shaking sheepskin regularly removes dust and small dirt particles, and helps maintain the natural swelling of the fibers.
Vacuuming with care: Use a low-powered vacuum cleaner or an adapted nozzle to gently vacuum sheepskin. Avoid rotating or beating brushes, which could pull the fibers and damage the skin.
Remove stains immediately: If a stain occurs, it's best to treat it quickly with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid aggressive chemicals. For more resistant stains, use a product specifically designed for sheepskin.
Occasional washing: If necessary, hand-wash the sheepskin with lukewarm water and a mild detergent suitable for wool. Never use hot water, as this can shrink and harden the skin. Wring out gently and leave to dry naturally, flat, away from direct heat and sunlight.
Brushing sheepskin: Once dry, brush with a soft wool brush to restore softness and plumpness.
Avoid excessive humidity: Keep sheepskins away from damp areas of the home, such as bathrooms or kitchens, to prevent them from becoming damp and developing moulds.
