About this product

Chains of diamonds on the Harini rug, tempt the eye beyond the delicate end fringes to give an illusion of space and openness. The strong natural fibres in muted colours drift effortlessly into one another, making it perfect for busy areas. Crafted on hand-powered looms, this ethical, low carbon footprint textile will work well with other designs in this range or select one or two from the rug palette to develop a personalised decor style.

30% Cotton, 30% Recycled Cotton & 40% Hemp.

KILIM RUGS

Kilim (sometimes written as Kelim) production in India can be traced back to the 16th century when the Mughal Emperor Akbar brought Persian carpet weavers back to India. These skills have been passed down through generations and our kilims are still produced using traditional eco-friendly “handlooms” operated by hand without the need for power. Handlooms produce a wonderful and authentic artisan product that should not be confused with mass-produced machine-made rugs.
Our rugs have character and each rug reflects the skills of the highly practiced artisan weavers. All of our rugs are GoodWeave licensed or from artisans who are working towards GoodWeave accreditation. We are proud to support this pioneering charity that seeks to end child labour in rug weaving and to help educate and develop rug weaving communities. We are confident that by buying one of our Fair Trade rugs, you will contribute positively by providing much-needed employment and will help to preserve an ancient craft. We use only natural materials and always strive to maximise the use of recycled or sustainable environmentally friendly sources.
