I just discovered Quiet Town, a small Brooklyn based company that makes beautiful Kilim bath rugs and canvas shower curtains. In addition to being utterly stylish, the manufacture of their products is meticulously ethical.
Their canvas is 100% cotton grown and milled in the USA, and all of their shower curtains are dyed and sewn in Brooklyn. Their bath rugs are made in an artisan studio in India where traditional Kilim weaving techniques are applied to the rugs.
"This particular facility has the environment and community on top priority, adhering to strict environmental codes of R.E.A.C.H. They also provide interest-free loans to their employees as well as a school for their community."
I particularly love the Tulum Bath Rug in Palapa, and the fact that these Kilim rugs can be thrown in the washing machine!
