dyes and lustrous wools. In this world of sustainability, antiques are experiencing a resurgence, capturing

Weaver Green

As soft as wool and cosy underfoot, you'd never believe it but each of these machine washable rugs are made from  up to 3000 recycled plastic bottles.

Available in a range of gorgeous designs and practical sizes, the recycled plastic rugs are easy to clean, stain resistant and extremely hard-wearing. They are also moth resistant and completelyuninteresting to dust mites and other critters, making them perfect in homes with pets and allergy sufferers.

From kitchens to bathrooms, hallways to gardens, the water-resistant nature of the rugs means they work just as well outdoors on terraces and in summer houses as they do inside; they even make great camping rugs and add a layer of comfort in a tent or yurt.

Runners
Runners are narrow, long rugs that are perfect for any hallway, transforming  a stark, uninviting area into one infused with colour, pattern and texture.  Runners also work well when dividing large spaces.
Our runners are available in traditional, tribal, vintage and contemporary designs.   Sizes start at 150cm x 50cm and can extend to 600cm in length (20ft).

Kelims & Flatweave

Kelims are flat-woven and are also known as flatweaves because, unlike knotted rugs, they have no pile.  Flatweaves are extremely light and versatile and can be used as floor coverings, draped over furniture or displayed on walls as works of art.  They have a bohemian appeal and look wonderful on either wood or tiled flooring.
Our kelims are woven in Turkey, West Asia, Afghanistan, India and Morocco and usually feature geometric patterns with colourways ranging from soft pastels to bright, earthy tones.
