Esparto rug

Braided and sewn by hand by Virginia, an artisan of the ancient Mediterranean art of espadrille and work with esparto grass. All the pieces are meticulously sewn to achieve their strong and precious structure, just as these objects are made in reality.

Esparto is a flexible natural and ecological fiber that is found in the South of Spain and Italy and in North Africa. The Romans called the city of Cartagena Carthago Spartaria. This art of braiding and sewing esparto fibers is passed down from father to son, so the esparto makers can shape baskets, bags, mats, rugs, espadrilles and a host of other objects, of great beauty due to their mastery and the material used.
