We can not automatically offset one item with another, so unfortunately a direct replacement is not possible.

Please return the first order to us and we will refund the purchase price after we receive the return.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused. In this case, please contact us immediately so that we can correct the error. In the event of an error, pickup and shipping are of course free of charge to you. 

Unlike many knotted oriental rugs, kelim often have small irregularities. These have their cause in the manufacturing technique. The women of the nomads weave the carpets on flat looms by hand, whereby small errors can not be corrected afterwards. This subtle difference from the industrially manufactured rugs makes a kelim extremely charming and gives it an authentic look.

After a cancelled order you will get your money back via your personal payment method within 1-3 business days. 

PRODUCT RANGE

We create high quality product photos and try to visually reproduce or describe all the details. However, the colors of the images may be affected by factors beyond our control. 

Unfortunately not at all. Since our rugs are exclusively unique, the same rug will no longer be available. Feel free to contact us if you could not get your dream rug and need an alternative. 

It all depends on the rug. On average, the pile is between 1cm - 3cm high. If you need 100% certainty, write us an email and attach the link of the rug you are interested in, then we will measure again for you.

Since our kelim and rugs are all handmade from 100% natural and untreated materials (sheep wool), they may have an inherent smell for 5-6 weeks. This is part of the product. However, experience shows that the smell reduces over a period of time. Kelim and rugs take on the smell of their environment over time. 

Yes. Rugtales rugs are pet friendly! You can easily clean the rug and remove stains and odors, including pet hair, dirt and more. 

RUGCARE

- Vacuum the rug in the direction of the pile and turn it frequently. This will help keep dust and dirt out and away.

- In addition to vacuuming, beat your rug. This will keep your rug fresh and clean. 

- Rugs are light sensitive, which means they can change color over time if they are exposed to strong sunlight on a daily basis. Keep this in mind if you want to preserve the vibrant colors of your rug. 

- If you spill something on your rug and it dries, remove the stain as quickly as possible by gently rubbing it towards the center of the spot. In the case of a wet stain caused by drinks, be careful not to rub with a towel. Gently pick up the liquid with paper towels and then try mild detergent. If the stains cannot be removed, feel free to contact us.

Since all our rugs and kelim are handmade from natural material such as virgin wool and cotton, and these materials naturally adapt to their "laying", you just need to let some time pass.
