The leather edges are sewn onto rugs that have a tight weave. Often times, rugs that are fresh off the loom curl under on the sides because the rug is woven so tightly. After a few years of use, the leather edges are not usually needed. You don't need to worry about cleaning the rug with them on, and if the rug lies flat when they do finally start to fall off, you don't need to worry about replacing them. Best of luck with your purchase.
