Our hand loom rugs are made by a village community of weavers in India. We work with the team there to develop designs that respond to their capacities and techniques on horizontal looms. This method of rug-making is ‘warp-faced’ made on two beams that interlace the yarns.

The technique is similar to that of velvet – makers insert rods into the warp, determining the depth of the pile height. Hand loom rugs may feature loop pile, cut pile or a mix of both.

Engaging and supporting traditional community weaving industries is a core value of our design and production practice – we work with our makers for their high standards of finish and quality of workmanship, but also for their skill in working with our designs that push the boundaries of their traditional rug-making craft.

The visual cultures of India have always been a source of inspiration for Margo – she has travelled in India extensively and relates to the joyful use of colour and intricate patterns.

Our hand loom rugs are all 100% Indian Chokla wool and each design is available in 4 sizes:
Runner (0.8 x 2.3m);
Small (1.2 x 1.8m);
Large (1.6 x 2.3);
Extra Large (2.4 x 3.5m).


All of our rugs are produced under ethical guidance from our partners Care & Fair.
