Relevant Information
At Ayma, we are proud of the quality of our pieces, which are handwoven on 19th-century looms. This characteristic makes our textiles unique.
We also work with high-quality natural fibers, which are biodegradable and respectful of nature, and also hold international traceability and animal welfare certifications.
Furthermore, we do not use anti-pilling finishes, as these processes incorporate synthetic components into the fibers that are harmful to the environment and to human health.
For all these reasons, our textiles are more delicate than industrial textiles and due to their special characteristics, they are more prone to small snags or pilling. They should be worn with care and love.
