Rag Rug Recycled Orange 152 x 90cm

• The orange colourway adds an earthy brightness, easy to place with wood, terracotta, cream or natural fibres.
• Woven strips give the surface a softly uneven texture, the kind that feels relaxed rather than polished.
• The rag-rug weave brings small shifts in tone, so the colour feels layered rather than flat.
• Its rectangular shape suits practical spaces where bare flooring wants a little warmth and softness.
• Because the fabric is recycled, each rug carries natural variation in the weave and colour mix.

This piece is handmade in India using cotton and recycled fabric from the textile industry. Rag-rug making turns leftover cloth into a sturdy woven floor textile, with strips worked through the loom to create a surface that feels casual, useful and quietly expressive.

The appeal is partly practical and partly thoughtful. Cotton brings a familiar softness underfoot, while the use of recycled material keeps usable fabric in circulation for longer. It is a simple example of slow design: nothing overworked, nothing too precious, just colour, texture and everyday purpose.

Use it indoors where you want an easy layer of warmth, such as beside the bed, along a narrow walkway, or in front of a favourite chair. On smooth floors, pair it with a rug underlay to help keep it steady.

Shake it out regularly and spot clean small marks with care, using as little moisture as possible. Let it dry fully before placing it back on the floor, as cotton and mixed fabric are best kept away from prolonged damp.

In Indian textile craft, rag rugs are often linked with chindi weaving, a word commonly understood as ‘torn cloth’. The idea is direct and resourceful: pieces left from cutting, making and sorting fabric are woven into something durable enough for daily life. Similar thrift crafts appear in many homes around the world, from cottage interiors to folk textiles, because they turn necessity into beauty. Here, the tradition feels especially at home in a mindful space, where visible reuse is part of the object’s quiet charm.

Measures 152 × 90 cm and weighs 1300 g. Made from cotton and mixed fabric, with recycled textile content. Handmade in India.

It makes a considered gift for someone setting up a new home, refreshing a small room, or choosing more characterful textiles over uniform floor coverings. The warm orange tone gives it presence without feeling fussy.
