Product Insights
The Parikia Jute Rug by Momeni delivers a rare sculptural centerpiece through hand-finished scalloped edges, embodying Pure Salt's coastal design in 100% jute at a value where the designer collaboration adds little cost over comparable rugs. Its 0.25-inch pile reduces shedding and clears doors, and the jute softens over time to surpass sisal in comfort. However, achieving this unique aesthetic requires vigilant upkeep: a rug pad trimmed half an inch inside the rug, suction-only vacuuming twice weekly, and quarterly rotation to avoid curled scallops. Initial shedding is heavy but subsides within months, and the rug develops character with age, making it a deliberate choice for those who prize form and are willing to invest in maintenance.

- Price per sq ft

- 0.25-inch pile reduces shedding and clears doors; the Lewis is 0.5 inches.

- Care
- Initial shedding is heavy but diminishes within months.
- Comfort
- Jute is softer underfoot than sisal or seagrass rugs.

Positive experience with Momeni rugs despite shedding
I really like Momeni rugs—I’ve used them for years. They are not a Target specific brand. The brand is offered at many US retailers. The Momeni rugs I have do shed especially at first. The shedding does slow time with time.
