Product Insights
The Red Stripes Artisanal Hallway Runner 70 X 215 by Mark Krebs is a natural wool-cotton flatweave that lies flat under doors, resists creeping on hard floors, and recovers from foot traffic while hiding dirt. Its hypoallergenic 80/20 blend offers thermal comfort and minimal shedding, but it requires professional cleaning and a rug pad for safety. Handwoven in Northern India with traditional fringes, each runner exhibits authentic variations in edge straightness and surface irregularities, and the fringe can be damaged by pulling. The brand publishes its fair-labor wage model, focusing attention on the weavers who own their looms.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Red Stripes Artisanal Hallway Runner 70 X 215: Choose this if you want a bold, asymmetric red runner with stripes and colour-block accents in a durable 80% wool and 20% cotton blend woven like a tapestry, with a low pile and thin fringes at the ends. This 70 x 215 cm (about 27.5 inches by 84.5 inches) runner is handmade in India by Mark Krebs' artisanal weavers, and the natural fibres give it a more rugged hand feel with a flat-woven texture. Because it is made using artisanal methods, slight imperfections are normal, and two rugs of the same design can read slightly differently in colour and pattern — variation the brand frames as part of the charm.[1,2,4] | Colourful Stripes Artisanal Hallway Runner 70 X 215: Choose this if you want a long, narrow flatwoven runner (27.5 inches by 84.5 inches, or 70 by 215 cm) with a multicoloured design of stacked colour blocks, narrow stripes, and fringe at both ends, handmade in India from a durable blend of 80% wool and 20% cotton that is described as feeling great underfoot. Its low pile suits hallways, and its artisanal construction means slight imperfections are normal and presented as part of its charm. Note that it is available only for online purchase with home delivery.[5,6] | Grey Stripes Artisanal Hallway Runner 70 X 215 Cm: Choose this if you want a long, narrow handmade runner for a hallway, with juxtaposed dark stripes, mirrored charcoal and blue-gray stripe blocks at each end, a subtle orange accent, thin fringes, and a durable, flat-woven 80% wool and 20% cotton blend that feels great underfoot. Because it is made using artisanal methods, slight imperfections are normal and each rug of the same design may read slightly differently in colour and pattern—something to expect rather than a flaw. Note that its maker is not currently affiliated with any fair-trade certification body.[1,7,8] |
