Transparency starts with design

Transparency starts with design

We invite you to trace the thread – follow Finarte rug’s journey.

In 2021 we were the first in Finland to launch a cooperation with TrusTrace platform. Trustrace is a Swedish state-of-the-art digital platform for product traceability and supply chain transparency. With the help of the tool, we can better trace the whole supply chain of our products from production to the origin of our raw materials. 

As of November 2021, our Gallery collection rugs have a QR code. Scanning the QR code opens the DNA of the Finarte rug, allowing you to trace the journey of the rug from its production to the origin of the material. By end of 2022, all Finarte products will be fully traceable.

1. ORIGIN OF WOOL

The wool of Galleria rugs comes from sheep native to the Usak region of Turkey. Wool is collected from sheep using a shearing machine. All of our wool is mulesing-free certified and sheep are never hurt during the procedure. Sheep benefit from shearing, because at the same time they get rid of their heavy fur.

2. CARDING & YARN SPINNING

After shearing, the raw wool is carded. In carding, the wool fibres are combed parallel for spinning. During spinning, the fibres are stretched, and as a result, they straighten into durable wool yarn.

Production as lifelong partnership

Production as lifelong partnership

We want to manufacture rugs where raw materials and recycled materials are produced. Indian production answers this need, as a large part of the global textile industry is located there. We value long-term cooperation, know-how and reliability, and that is why we only work with a few carefully selected producers. 

We have been working with the same partners for decades: Indus Kleed since 1991, Indian Art Gallery since 1999 and Vardhman Creations since 2001. Below you can find out more about Finarte’s partners in India (5) and China (1), and Lithuania (1).
