Details

The rug is predominantly (about 90 percent) made of jute, which is a natural fiber. The fiber is extracted from the bark of the jute plant and goes through an extensive processing process before it becomes a finished jute product. Jute is an environmentally friendly material because the jute plant requires very little water.

As the products are handmade, no two products will ever be exactly alike. We hope you will appreciate the products' little features and their history as much as we do - and we hope that you will enjoy your product for many years to come. 

Care

• Does not withstand machine washing
• Vacuum the carpet regularly
• If you spill water or other liquid on the carpet, remove it with a dry cloth
• Be aware that jute changes color over time if it is placed in direct sunlight
• The smell of jute (like the smell of oil) disappears after a few days
