Organic Tanning Process: Gentle on Nature, Safe for Your Home
One of the most important aspects of our sheepskin rug production is the organic tanning process. We’re proud to say that our rugs are tanned without the use of harmful chemicals or chrome. An organic, chrome-free method is used, ensuring that no toxic substances come into contact with our rugs or your home. This is important to us because our goal is not simply to create something beautiful, but also to make sure it’s safe for both the planet and our customers.
Production of our rugs follows the strictest New Zealand regulations to ensure the tanning process meets the highest safety and sustainability standards. It’s a labour of love, and it’s part of what makes our sheepskin rugs so special. When you lay one of our rugs in your living room or bedroom, you’re not just adding luxury you’re bringing in a piece of nature that’s been treated with the utmost respect
Sanitising Method: A Health-Conscious Choice
We know that your home is your sanctuary which is why steps are taken to ensure our rugs contribute to a clean and allergen-free environment. During production a specialised TanTech concentrate made with a blend of tea tree and lemon myrtle oils is used. These natural ingredients are powerful in combating dust mites and pet allergens, making our rugs a great option for homes with pets or individuals who may have sensitivities especially your babies.
Incorporating natural elements into your baby’s environment can provide both comfort and health benefits. Our sheepskin rugs are crafted using organic processes, free from harmful chemicals, ensuring a safe and gentle surface for your little one. The natural lanolin in the wool offers a soft, hypoallergenic texture that is resistant to dirt and moisture, making it ideal for babies’ sensitive skin.
What makes this sanitising process even more special is it meets the high standards of Merinomark, ensuring your rug is not only beautiful but also health-conscious. It’s all part of our commitment to bringing you a product that is as beneficial as it is luxurious.
Natural Conditioning: Preserving the Integrity of the Wool
When you feel the softness of one of our sheepskin rugs, what you’re experiencing is the result of a meticulous conditioning process. Natural oils to condition the wool are used, ensuring that the wool’s natural properties are enhanced without stripping away the lanolin. This lanolin is what gives the wool its soft, lustrous texture and natural resistance to dirt and moisture.
To finish the conditioning process, the wool is treated with a 160-degree iron, which helps to remove any residuals and seals the treatment into the fibres. This step is essential in preserving the longevity and softness of your rug, so you can enjoy its comfort for years to come. We believe that by treating the wool with care and respect you benefit from a product that’s not only luxurious but also durable and long-lasting.
Safety Standards: Quality You Can Trust
Nothing is more important to us than the safety and well-being of our customers. That’s why our sheepskin rugs are crafted to meet international safety standards. From the materials we use to the final product, every step of the way is designed with your safety in mind.
We understand that when you bring a product into your home, you want to feel confident it’s been made with care and attention to detail.

When you choose one of our rugs, you’re choosing a product that has been crafted with integrity, both for the environment and for your peace of mind.
