Due to the handmade nature of Pampa’s woven products, we do not offer a period of warranty on these items. We would however, like to be contacted in the case that a customer has a fault with a Pampa product. As we are serious about customer satisfaction, we will consider resolutions on a case-by-case basis.

Pampa is not responsible for the care and maintenance of your rugs or any other woven Pampa good. As explained in our care and maintenance section it is the customer’s responsibility to vacuum your rug regularly both sides and be aware that just like any 100% raw wool product, it needs to be used and kept in a well ventilated area for it to be safe from moths. We also suggest getting your rug professionally cleaned by a rug cleaning specialist when required.

We only wholesale to very small handful of select stores worldwide, however, we do not wholesale our pillows, only our rugs and fine art prints, throws & blankets, ponchos and scarves. For all wholesale enquiries, information and terms & conditions, please contact us at help@pampa-us.com.

At Pampa we respect great design and love working with interior designers, stylists and architects. If you’re interested in including our goods in your next project please apply here to open a trade account. We look forward to providing your clients with Pampa soft wool rugs and homewares.

Unfortunately samples are a little bit of a tricky one for us as it is quite a laborious process for our weavers due to the loom setup, so we only have the ones we use to design rugs in the showroom. However, you can order yarn color samples here.

Yes, we regularly work with clients to create their own bespoke Pampa Rug, click here to find out more about our custom rug service. As all our rugs are handmade, sizes can vary by 3% from the dimension ordered. Every effort is made to ensure there is minimal color variation, however, up to 5% can be expected color-wise. You can also stop by our studio at our Venice location which features a studio space, where you can sit down with a sales consultant, view our collections, and work on digital designs tailored to you or your clients needs.

Our rugs are durable but will require maintenance to keep them looking good. You can expect a Pampa rug to last for at least 5 years, provided it is well-maintained and used in a residential environment (less if used in high-traffic areas). In saying this if a Pampa rug is properly looked after, can be expected to last for decades.

Pampa rugs are divided into three distinct collections. As all of our pieces are individual creations, there can be significant variations between individual rugs within a collection.

We have to main rug types, the main difference between them is their yarn thickens and capacities in designs. The thicker yarn rugs are heavier, chunkier weave. They feature designs stripes of complementary colors or singular color pieces. These designs are woven from thick wool threads using a heavy weave style, showcasing the inherent beauty of natural gradations in both the color and texture of wool. Where our thinner yarn weave rugs are tightly woven from finely spun threads. Produced on specialised looms, they showcase symmetrical patterns, geometric shapes and detailed designs. These rugs result in a luxurious, intricate texture that is not only visually appealing but also soft underfoot. Both of these collections are the most suitable for larger floor spaces with medium foot traffic. The rugs in these collections are also available to be customized.

The rugs in our Suncho collection are generally of medium size rug and a thinner weave. They are suited to bedrooms and smaller living spaces, available in our Accents rug collection.

Alongside most rugs in our online store, you will see the weight of each rug in kilograms. Combined with the dimensions, this will help give you a better idea if the piece is suitable for your needs. Generally the heavier the rug, the less prone it will be to movement and wear during use.

Please feel free to email us at help@pampa-us.com if you would like a more in depth description of any particular piece, or if you would like any assistance with selection.

Please refer to the care and maintenance section on our website for further information.

Pampa rugs are 100% handmade from start to finish - beginning with the removal of the fleece from the sheep, all the way to the final product. Every rug is created on a handloom, which is driven only by the force exerted by the weaver, and all the yarn is spun by hand. Natural dyes are mostly used, but some very intense colours can only be achieved synthetically.

Due to this handmade process, Pampa rugs can never be 100% replicated, meaning every piece is individual. Perfect replications of rugs can only be created using a machine. Machine-manufactured rugs lack that certain charm that can only be achieved on a handloom, and do not have the same amount of love, passion, culture and experience poured into them.

Pampa’s weavers and their families all have a great sense of pride in what they do. This pride is woven into the fabric of our rugs, and gifted to the new owner of a hand-woven rug, who has a great story behind the new edition to their home. Hand-woven rugs can hold and even increase in value over time, which is something unlikely to happen with a machine-manufactured rug.

To learn more about this very labor-intensive process, click here.

All Pampa rugs are sourced directly from the weavers themselves in remote regions of Argentina. We choose to work with these weavers because of their traditional knowledge and expert craftsmanship. This means that when Pampa commissions a rug, the money is going straight into the hands of the family who made that particular piece. We personally travel to Argentina to visit the communities of weavers on a regular basis. During these trips we not only purchase the rugs that are included in our online store, but we also work closely with the weavers on developing new designs so that our business model and partnerships can remain sustainable for the communities.

Due to the handmade nature of all our woven goods, it is not unusual for them to carry slight imperfections. These can vary from inconsistencies in colour tones to the way the threads have been terminated at the end of the weaving. We strongly feel that these imperfections add charm to our products, which can only be obtained through the handmade process. Each piece has its own characteristics, which have been passed down from its artist.

Our artisans work with 100% raw sheep wool and the wool in most of our rugs comes straight from the backs of the sheep that weavers own and care for, which run around wild and free in the dry forest surrounding their homes brushing up against trees. The wool is thoroughly hand cleaned before it is hand-spun and woven on the looms, however some plant matter such as very small twigs may still remain in the yarn occasionally.

Although we do inspect and clean all rugs before being shipped out to our clients, small twigs and organic plant matter may occasionally be missed. If you do find any of these in your rug, they can easily be removed with your fingers or a pair of tweezers. They can be safely pulled out of the weave, however never cut across the yarn with a pair of scissors as this could affect the integrity of the weave. Any doubts, please get in touch first at help@pampa-us.com. 

Here’s more about our process and how Pampa rugs are made https://www.pampa-us.com/pages/our-process.

Child labor is not used to produce Pampa products. However, many children in the communities we work with are taught the art of weaving as one of their many school subjects, the same way children in US schools partake in art or craft lessons. Many will continue to weave once they have completed school, as it is a great option for a secure and sustainable future. Your purchase is also helping preserve this art form that is slowly disappearing from these parts of the world.

Each and every Pampa rug that is sold helps contribute to the longevity of the beautiful art of weaving. As the demand for Pampa rugs increases, so too does the demand for weavers. Whether it’s the elder weavers maintaining their skills or younger weavers acquiring them, it all helps to assure that these traditional works of art will keep being produced for many years to come.

Not only does the production and sale of every Pampa rug help preserve traditional Argentinian weaving, it also improves living standards and creates well-deserved cultural pride for our weavers and their families.

Pampa rugs made from sheep’s Argentinean wool. When you feel the warmth of natural fibres, you feel the earth—a tactile, grounding experience that brings a sense of awareness and attention. All of our pillow covers are handmade from sheep’s wool and come with a cosy PET-fibre blend insert. PET fibre is derived from 100% post-consumer plastic water bottles. The fibre looks, feels and performs in the same way as a high-grade poly fibre, but is completely recycled. For every 1 kg of fibre used, around 70 water bottles are saved from ending up in landfill or potentially in our oceans. It is 100% non-allergenic.

Puna throws are woven with pure llama fibre. The llama fibre used is from high up in the Andes Mountains and is the color straight from the backs of llamas, with not additional dyeing process used.

Our scarves and ponchos are also hand loomed using a blend of sheep's wool, llama fibre and sometimes recycle cotton and some of them are naturally dyed.

Please refer to our Care & Maintenance page.

Our rugs are crafted from natural wool fibres and, whenever possible, dyed with natural dyes sourced from bark, plants, and the land itself. Because of this, slight colour changes can happen over time. This is part of the beauty of natural materials - they age gracefully, developing unique character along the way. We embrace this change, as it’s a natural part of the process.

To help slow down any potential fading, we recommend keeping the rug out of direct sunlight and rotating and flipping it now and then to ensure even exposure. Most of our rugs are designed to be reversible, so you have the option to turn over your for a refreshed look.

It is very unlikely that the dyes in Pampa rugs will run or migrate, but it is possible, especially if the piece comes into contact with moisture. It is important to keep this in mind when using any colored rug on a surface that could be affected by the migration of dyes, such as lightly colored carpet. Using an underlay will create a barrier between the rug and your carpet to prevent the migration of dyes to the floor surface below your rug. We always recommend the use of an underlay with all Pampa rugs and on all floor surfaces. Suitable underlays can also be found at stores like Ikea and Bunnings, we recommend using the non-slip felt type. Always use an experienced rug cleaning specialist when your rug needs to be cleaned, as incorrect cleaning methods could result in problems with dyes. Please refer to our Care & Maintenance page for more information.

Our Ponchos and Throws are designed to last through the seasons and to prolong the longevity of each piece we recommend hand washing with cold water and laying flat to dry.

Yes, all of our fine art photographic prints are original photography by Pampa’s co-founders Victoria Aguirre and Carl Wilson.

We send all of our prints carefully rolled in durable mailing tubes. Acid-free tissue paper is placed upon the printed surface of the print before rolling and also used to fill any negative space inside the tube to limit print movement during transportation. Tube end caps are stapled and taped to ensure your print does not come out during transportation, and to prevent the ingress of any foreign matter into the tube potentially affecting the print. Up to 3 prints can be packed per tube keeping shipping costs to a minimum.

Preferably, you should not handle your print at all. Please leave this to an experienced professional framer. We advise that you leave the print inside the mailing tube to be removed by your framer. If you wish to do the framing yourself, handle your print with the utmost of care as they can be very easily marked or creased. Never touch the printed image with your fingers as oil and dirt from your skin can easily cause damage. Always make sure that all staples are removed from mailing tube end before removal of your print.

We recommend taking your print to your local framing professional to discuss your options. We leave a 5cm white border around our prints to allow for different framing options. You can frame your print yourself with a more affordable prefabricated frame, but we do not recommend this, as the potential for damage to the print is high. We also believe that a fine art print on high-quality cotton photo rag should be matched with high-quality framing.

Pampa’s Fine Art prints are printed in on high-quality, 310gsm Canson Rag Photographique paper using Ultrachrome K3 pigment inks.

We offer four sizes: 23.6" x 15.7", 35.4" x 23.6", 44.1" x 29.5" and 35.4" x 55.1". All prints have an extra 2" white border all the way around the image, so add an extra 4" to these listed size for total paper dimensions. If you require a custom size, please contact us and we will let you know if this is possible. Customs sizes can be printed to a maximum of 59" x 39.4".

Not all, but many of our print series are. Each of the limited edition prints runs in the following edition numbers: 100 (small), 75 (medium), 50 (large) and 25 (extra large).

Position your Pampa print somewhere will it will not be exposed to moisture or direct sunlight.

As we personally inspect and package the prints ourselves, we ensure that they are shipped in perfect condition.If the mailing tube has been delivered to you in a state of damage and the print itself has also suffered damage that deems it unusable, please email us photos as soon as possible. We will have a new print sent out to you free of charge, if we agree that the damage sustained will affect the final appearance of the framed print. Pampa does not offer refunds if you have simply changed your mind. Any damage to the outer edges (1 cm) of the paper will not be considered damage that will deem the print unusable, as this will be covered up during the framing process.

We do not offer a period of warranty on Pampa Prints. We would however like to be contacted in the event that a customer has an issue or concern with a Pampa Print. As we are serious about customer satisfaction, we will consider resolutions on a case-by-case basis.

With every sale we make, we plant a tree. When a Pampa Rug or Print is purchased, we are able to plant 5 trees, and 1 tree for every other Pampa piece.

One Tree Planted is a non-profit environmental charity running crucial large-scale reforestation projects around the world and in the same places that Pampa has its roots (Australia, Latin America, the U.S. and beyond).
