Product Insights
The Grey Stripes Artisanal Rug is a handwoven flatweave dhurrie co-created with Indian weavers in a fair-pay partnership, resulting in a unique artisanal piece with slight imperfections. Its 80% wool, 20% cotton blend offers durability, stain resistance from natural lanolin, low shedding, and a cool, firm underfoot feel. Direct weaver sourcing cuts markups to 489 CAD, but the rug lacks non-slip backing and requires a rug pad for safety and longevity.
Verified claims
- Flatweave
- Flatweave rug won't delaminate, stays breathable, and sheds little.
- Artisan partnership
- Weavers build their own looms and co-create patterns in a fair-pay partnership.
- Collaborative design
- Stripes are co-created with Indian weavers in a process described as a dance.
- Artisanal character
- The handwoven process gives each rug a genuine artisanal fingerprint beyond standard outsourced production.
- Brand origin
- The rug is handwoven in India and sold online directly by the brand.
- Construction heritage
- Handwoven dhurrie flatweave prevents delamination.
- Pricing
- Direct weaver sourcing pays fairly and cuts markups to 489 CAD.
- Stain resistance
- Natural lanolin in wool repels spills, making cleaning easier.
- Comfort
- Blend provides a soft hand and stays cool, making it comfortable year-round.
- Durability & value
- The wool-cotton blend yields a rug more capable in traffic than pure cotton flatweaves without the full price step to 100% wool.
- Coolness
- Flatweave construction stays cooler than pile rugs.
- Room suitability
- 80% wool, 20% cotton flatweave is low pile, stain-resistant, durable, artisanal, and suits dining rooms and high-traffic areas.
- Shedding
- Low-pile tapestry weave minimizes initial wool shedding.
- Spill cleaning
- Blot spills immediately with a clean cloth, working from the edges inward; use a mild wool-safe detergent with water and avoid rubbing or soaking.
- Rug pad
- The rug lacks a non-slip backing; a rug pad is recommended to prevent slipping and extend the rug's life.
- Weaver agency
- Weavers can choose to work for the exporter offering the highest pay.
- Pile height
- The pile height is listed as low but not specified exactly; similar Mark Krebs rugs are typically around 1/4 to 1/2 inch.
- Durability and maintenance
- The low-pile tapestry weave keeps initial wool shedding minimal, and wool's natural lanolin repels liquid and dirt so spills sit on the surface longer.
- Sourcing and design
- The brand sources directly from weavers and sells online, bypassing intermediaries to offer handmade wool-and-cotton rugs at accessible prices.
- Construction and performance
- 80% wool-20% cotton flatweave is durable, stain-resistant, and low-shedding.

Compared within this brand.
| Grey Stripes Artisanal Rug See Available Sizes: Choose this if you want a handmade, low-pile wool rug with a subtle striped design—juxtaposed dark stripes and rust accents framing a faded grey woven center—made from a durable 80% wool, 20% cotton blend woven like a tapestry. It suits shoppers who value artisanal character: it is handmade in India, and slight imperfections are expected and described by the seller as adding to its charm. Note that it is available only online with home delivery, ships directly from the supplier separately from regular Simons orders, and may arrive in different packaging or on a different timeline.[3,4] | Red Stripes Artisanal Rug See Available Sizes: Choose this if you want a handmade, artisanal rug with a bold red design: a dominant red central field with geometric blocks and narrow stripes in pink, olive green, cream and black, plus thin knotted fringes at the ends. It is woven like a tapestry from a durable 80% wool and 20% cotton blend with a low pile, and comes in rectangular sizes of 140 x 205 cm, 185 x 275 cm and 245 x 305 cm in Assorted Red. As with all Mark Krebs rugs, it is handmade in India from natural fibres, so slight imperfections are normal and two rugs of the same design can read slightly differently in colour and pattern — a fit if you value that variation, but not if you expect perfect uniformity.[1,5,6,7] | Colourful Stripes Artisanal Rug See Available Sizes: Choose this if you want a bold, multicoloured statement rug with a patchwork of stripes and colour blocks in orange, green, maroon, cream and black, woven flat with a low pile in an 80% wool, 20% cotton blend. It is handmade by Mark Krebs in Uttar Pradesh, India from natural fibres, washed by hand and sun-dried, with short fringe at the ends and sizes of roughly 140 x 205 cm, 185 x 275 cm, or 245 x 305 cm. Note that as an artisanal piece, slight imperfections and colour or pattern variation between rugs of the same design are expected (which the brand frames as part of the appeal), and neither the studio nor its Indian export partners is currently fair-trade certified, though weavers are reported to be paid per square foot at the regional rate.[1,2,7,8,9,10,11] |
