Product Insights
Mark Krebs's Colourful Stripes Artisanal Rug is a handwoven durrie from Uttar Pradesh, India, made of 80% wool and 20% cotton with a weft-faced plain weave. The rug is created through a middleman-free collaboration with Indian weavers who are paid per square foot at a regional market rate, a model that the brand transparently details instead of pursuing fair-trade certification. Natural fiber variations and a chemical-free finish give each rug unique color variations and a heavy lay-flat feel with initial shedding. Care requires suction-only vacuuming and professional dry cleaning; a rug pad is recommended for hard floors. The $489 price covers materials and direct-trade wages.
