Is Brazilian Wax Awkward

I'll be waiting in the light of the tricolor Atelier

In a precise historical moment in which everything seems to call into question, and Turin, Italy celebrate their 150enario unit. Or restarting So from here, from this date that the men wanted to make it important to remember who we are and what we want. Beyond the rhetoric, I think it's really necessary to try to find an "address", a sense of the state, that is, looking with confidence to the industriousness and sense of mission that guide every day a large number of Italians are they persons or entities collective, because this is what can make us really proud of who we are and what we represent in world. Although the weather is not good is very bad indeed, Torino braved the rain to make a great party (it seems almost a parallel, where the rain means that there are difficulties and there will be more in this country). Tappetirari . com will be opened in his small workshop in Via del Carmine 8 / B, up at 22.00. It can be an opportunity to learn, live and talk about carpets, and not in a strictly commercial, but in a much larger one in which I usually deal with in this blog but also in the midst of my work, because I'm a seller strange passion that puts commercial interests. Come and visit us, we wait.

Costa knot carpets too

Thanks to globalization and thus phenomena such as the relocation of industries from the West with moving their plants to the east, thanks to oil, the growing domestic demand for industrialization, thanks to tourism, which brings with it major hotel chains and related urbanization including roads and airports giant strongly developed, thanks to land reforms economic and energy (see nuclear power stations being chased by Iran and Turkey) .. the so-called civilization of "welfare" began to appear even in the carpet-producing countries: Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, the Caucasus republics. This has resulted in these countries an increase in the cost of life and work, factors that made it uneconomical knotting carpets. Slowly the knotted and the weavers and rural households have been absorbed by industry and other sectors working renumerativi much more in step with the times, thus leaving the task of continuing the tradition in those few skilled workers who work for the local or foreign companies to export goods at high prices. Make the calculation of what it costs on average a carpet it is easily done: for a medium quality carpet the size of 6 square meters, it takes about three months' work of a skilled worker, and the salary of a worker in Iran is around € 200 per month. Thus, only in terms of working with a carpet of medium quality size: 3.00 x 2.00 meters costs 600 €, add to this the cost of the wool, dyes, washing, transport abroad and customs duties and taxes, and one can easily imagine what has become uneconomical to produce carpets for Eastern and consequently also for Western companies that have to buy and resell. Added to all this global economic crisis which resulted in numerous reality blinds and more, problems such as wage arrears: textile workers who have not seen a tumans more than 10 months. All this has also led to a change of habits and customs in producing countries which in fact see a decline in domestic demand, even a collapse of the textile hand-knotted in favor of carpets macchinizzati cheaper. In the near future, the knotted carpet at risk of disappearing forever.
