About this product

Colour and first impression
  • The surface runs through a broad spectrum, reds, oranges, yellows, greens, blues, and purples woven in close succession, giving the rug a cheerful, unpretentious energy.
  • The strips vary in width and tone, so the colour shifts gradually across the weave rather than appearing in hard blocks.
  • The flat, dense surface sits close to the floor and has the satisfying weight of tightly packed cotton.
  • Because the colour comes from the original fabric scraps, no two rugs will be identical, the sequence and proportion of each shade shifts from piece to piece.
How it is made

Rag rugs of this kind are woven on a loom in India, where the chindi tradition, chindi meaning 'torn cloth' in Hindi, has long turned cotton offcuts and mill remnants into durable floor textiles. Strips of cotton are fed through a warp as the weft, packed tightly together so the finished surface is firm and even. The technique keeps the weave stable underfoot and gives the rug its characteristic ribbed texture.

Cotton and salvaged material

The rug is made from cotton, most likely a mix of shirting, sheeting, and similar offcuts rather than a single source. Using salvaged strips means the material that would otherwise leave the cutting room as waste becomes the product itself. The cotton is soft against bare feet and breathes well indoors, making it comfortable across seasons.

Living with it

Cotton rag rugs tend to soften and settle with use, the surface becoming slightly more supple as the strips bed in. Place it on a smooth floor with a non-slip underlay beneath, cotton on hard flooring will slide without one. It is an indoor textile; prolonged damp or outdoor exposure will shorten its life.

Care

Shake or vacuum regularly to lift dust from between the woven strips. If washing is needed, check whether the colours are stable before immersing fully, dyed cotton offcuts can bleed, particularly on the first wash. Spot-clean where possible, or hand-wash gently in cool water and lay flat to dry away from direct heat.

Size and details

50 cm wide × 90 cm long, roughly the length of a standard bath mat, and wide enough to step onto comfortably from either side. Made from cotton, woven in India.

A considered gift

A good choice for someone moving into a new home, or for anyone who likes colour and craft in their everyday spaces. The rainbow palette works across a range of interiors without demanding a particular scheme.

Common questions

Will the colours fade over time?
Cotton dyes do soften gradually with washing and light exposure. Keeping the rug out of prolonged direct sunlight will help the colours stay true for longer.
Do I need a non-slip underlay?
On smooth floors, wood, tile, laminate, yes. Cotton rag on a hard surface will move underfoot without something to grip beneath it. On carpet it will sit more securely on its own.
Is it reversible?
The weave structure means both faces are similar in appearance, so it can be flipped to even out wear over time.
