Jute is predominantly farmed by approximately four million small farmers in India and Bangladesh and supports hundreds of thousands of workers in jute manufacturing (from raw material to yarn and nished products). Each of these rugs is expertly hand loom-woven by skilled weavers who employ a variety of traditional techniques to create these simply beautiful styles.

Jute brings a magnicent, chunky texture to any space. Its bers exhibit naturally anti-static, insulating and moisture regulating properties. Its long, soft and shiny fibers are among the strongest, most flexible vegetable fibers.
Synthetic area rugs and carpets commonly off-gas toxic, harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds) into the air. These VOCs can be emitted from both the synthetic fibers that make up the rug pile and the synthetic glues used in the backing. VOCs can cause a multitude of unpleasant symptoms including eye, nose and throat irritation, headaches, nausea and dizziness. Choosing a natural fiber area rug, like jute, which does not off-gas is a positive choice that helps create a healthier environment in your home.
All fibers that are exposed to direct, prolonged sunlight will experience some degree of fading. Please rotate your rug regularly if it is in a sunny location. Rug pad recommended.

If we delay modifications to our behavior and practices we do so at the peril of future generations and ourselves. Choosing products made from natural fibers instead of synthetic fibers is a small step towards reversing man-made damage to our planet but it’s an important one.
