Vlas carpet collection honours Casalis’ hometown, Kortrijk, a Belgian city located on the banks of the river De Leie saturated with a rich history in the linen and flax manufacturing industry. This new collection of rugs is tufted in a unique blend of durable materials: linen and wool yarns to provide a warm and lustre surface. Naturally toned linen and wool in multiple colours, dyed using sprinkling technique, give the carpet an elegant and sophisticated look.

Out of all the different wools, New Zealand wool is praised to be the whitest, allowing for a broader range of color after dyeing. It is a blend of Merino and Downs breeds who are specially selected for their comfort, strength, and performance. The wool is grown and processed in both New Zealand and Australia.
