This beautiful bedspread graces my king bed in my condo in Costa Rica - it brings in the vibrant spring green from the lush terrain outside my windows! The workmanship is truly excellent. The ivory stripes part of the spread are a complex woven column design in warm ivory and soft grey with ivory cross-stitch bands, and go beautifully with the soft gray of my walls. A very subtle green on green stripe is woven into the green field of the coverlet.The fringe is hand tied on both sides and the bottom edge of the cover. The weight of the fabric is quite substantial - it feels like a very heavy and textured linen weave and has an excellent hand for a coverlet, so it does lie smoothly on the bed. Simply lovely and a worthwhile investment! I added blue and green batik style cotton pillows, but I do wish there were shams to go with this! Beautiful work!!

Nicely woven rug with a tight weave and I particularly like the colours which work well with the bedspread and curtains in my bedroom. This rug is a nice addition to the Zapotec rugs I purchased in Teotitlan del Valle 25 years ago. Gracias Señor Ruiz.

I received a gift certificate and used it to get this rug. It is one of the best presents ever. I put it in the entry hall in my house - a traditional Japanese house! It gets a lot of traffic, including pets, and it has held up perfectly. It washes easily (in cold water) and looks as good as the day it arrived. The colors are bright but not gaudy. It goes very well with the naturals of the Japanese house and I get compliments from visitors all the time. I was a bit worried about the fact that it was wool, but now I think the wool was the best choice. I love this tug - it makes me happy every time I come and go.
