What is a life of adventure if you discover nothing along the way?   In 2001 while living part time in Brazil I discovered S.O.B, the company that discovered how to take vintage discarded canvas tarps used to cover freight on trucks, clean them, and produced product from the gorgeous cotton tarp colored by time with organic patina, patching, wear and tear.   Today Imagine Adventures sells a complete line of Truck Tarp products to edgy retailers in natural and dyed,plain or with stamps, silkscreens and appliques, as well as the "modules", 5 to 10 yard lengths of tarp in a variety of colors, to furniture companies to be used as upholstery, bedding producers, and designers in search of really cool 'conversation' starting recycled material.   "This is a great item for designers to show private clients and to be creative", That's me, Mike Farrell, Creative Director and owner of Imagine.  The line includes exotic bean bags, pillows, drum shades, market bags, handbags, clothing, and furniture. All 100% cotton, vintage, recycled, eco-logical, and most importantly, real.  Love Your Mother.

Tamarian Rugs
G-6020
A Tamarian Rug is a true work of art. Every step of production is done with the care and touch of the human hand.  The techniques and tools have remained unchanged for hundreds of years. The materials are the finest nature offers; from the lanolin-rich, hand-carded hand-spun Tibetan wool, to the small lot dying process.  Tamarian’s dye-masters use finely manipulated chrome dyes to enhance the wool’s natural boldness and luster, while maintaining its colorfastness for decades to come. Each rug is woven knot by knot on an upright loom, using the Tibetan Loop Senneh knot.  When weaving is complete, the rug is cut from the loom, sheared and trimmed, and given a final wash to bring out the rich hues and variations that are the hallmark of every Tamarian carpet.
