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.

Verified claims

Weaver compensation
Weavers are paid per square foot at a regional market rate that rises with demand.
Fair-trade certification
The brand openly states it is not fair-trade certified and explains why.
Artisan partnership
Mark Krebs collaborates directly with Indian weavers, co-creating designs in a middleman-free model.
Artisan craftsmanship
Handwoven from natural fibers, each rug has inherent color variations and a chemical-free finish.
Craft region
Handwoven in Uttar Pradesh, India, for Canadian brand Mark Krebs, rooted in the Jaunpur durrie tradition.
Weave
Weft-faced plain weave with cotton warp and wool weft, following the traditional durrie formula.
Artisan model
Weavers own their looms and choose their commissions, functioning as independent artisans rather than factory labour.
Material
80% wool, 20% cotton: heavy lay-flat feel, short initial shedding period, natural colour variations.
Care
Never pull a loose fringe yarn; snip it cleanly with sharp scissors to avoid further pull-out.
Stability
The wool-cotton construction makes the rug heavier than a pure wool flatweave, so it lies flat and resists shifting on hard floors.
Maintenance
Vacuum with a suction-only flat head on both sides to prevent thread damage and manage initial shedding.
Cleaning
Clean spills with cold water and mild soap; have the rug professionally dry-cleaned once or twice a year.
Handcrafted Variation
Each rug is handwoven, so slight pattern variations are inherent and every piece is subtly unique.
Artisanal Finishing
Hand-knotted fringes and natural soap washing replace industrial finishing.
Pricing
$489 covers materials and fair wages under direct trade.
Transparency
Mark Krebs names the four northern Indian states where its rugs are handmade rather than using a generic 'made in India' label.
Rug pad
Non-slip rug pad recommended to prevent slipping, add cushioning, and protect the floor.
Reversibility
The rug's tapestry weave is a weft-faced plain weave that creates a smooth, reversible surface with no raised pile.
Pile crush resistance
The rug's flatwoven construction leaves no raised pile to crush.
Underfoot feel
Indian wool gives the rug a firmer, more textured surface, while cotton balances it so it feels substantial but not rough underfoot.

Colourful Stripes Artisanal Rug See Available Sizes: Choose this if you want a flatwoven, low-pile accent rug with a bold, multicolour patchwork of stripes and blocks in orange, green, maroon, beige and black-and-cream, available in 140 x 205 cm, 185 x 275 cm, and 245 x 305 cm sizes. Its 80% wool and 20% cotton blend is woven like a tapestry by hand in India using artisanal methods, and the merchant notes it will feel great underfoot. Because every fibre is natural, two rugs of the same design read slightly differently in colour and pattern, and slight imperfections are normal — the brand frames these as part of each piece's charm; note also that neither Mark Krebs nor its Indian export partners are currently fair-trade certified.[1,2,3,5,6,7,8]Red Stripes Artisanal Rug See Available Sizes: Choose this if you want a bold, artisanal accent piece: a rectangular low-pile rug in assorted reds with a dominant red field, stacked geometric blocks, narrow stripes and dash motifs, thin knotted fringe at the ends, woven like a tapestry from a durable 80% wool, 20% cotton blend that the merchant says will feel great underfoot. It is handmade in India using artisanal methods, so slight imperfections are normal and, per the brand and merchant, add to its charm. Be aware that because the fibres are natural, two rugs of the same design can read slightly differently in colour and pattern, and the fringe shows slightly irregular lengths.[3,9,10]Grey Stripes Artisanal Rug See Available Sizes: Choose this if you want a rectangular grey area rug with dark striped blocks, faded grey field and small rust accents, in one of three sizes (140 x 205 cm, 185 x 275 cm or 245 x 305 cm). Its low-pile, tightly woven blend of 80% wool and 20% cotton—made by hand in India—is described by the retailer as durable and comfortable underfoot, and thin fringes frame the ends. Because it is artisanal, expect slight imperfections the seller calls normal and charming, and note it is sold online-only with home delivery directly from the supplier, so it may arrive separately and on a different schedule from other Simons orders.[4,11,12]
