RUGS 101 // WHAT RUG STYLE IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

Think all rugs are the same? Think again. The good news is we’re here to help you break down the differences between all the rugs on your wishlist, explaining the organic materials, traditional weaves, and rich patterns that make each of our handwoven rugs a one-of-a-kind piece of art. From flatweave rugs to plush, textured styles, we’re diving into the details behind these handwoven wonders from around the globe.

WHAT SETS THE CITIZENRY RUGS APART FROM THE REST...

METICULOUSLY WOVEN BY HAND

No machine will ever be able to replace the beauty of handcrafted designs. You can trace the precision and care in every knot, weave, and fiber of each rug. Our rug collection is made entirely by hand, woven by true masters of the craft. Each rug can take weeks to complete, all made in a Fair Trade environment. What's more these age-old techniques and small batch production methods are incredibly sustainable, lowering carbon emissions and minimizing waste.

CRAFTED WITH THE FINEST MATERIALS

From locally-sourced wool to all natural, sustainable plant fibers, our rug collection is made with the best materials from around the globe. Our artisan partners go above and beyond to find the highest quality materials designed to last for years to come.

ROOTED IN ANCIENT TRADITIONS

Most “globally-inspired” designs in the U.S. market are either vintage or manufactured in other countries - both of which do nothing to preserve age-old craft traditions that date back for centuries. With our rug collections, we are honored to play a role in keeping these traditions alive. Beni Ourain rugs from Morocco. Kilim rugs from Turkey. Zapotec rugs from Oaxaca. Flatweave and richly textured rugs from India. Country by country, we travel the globe to preserve ancient cultures and ensure these weaving techniques live on.

FAIR TRADE. GUARANTEED.

Less than 1% of global textiles are produced in Fair Trade or environmentally stable conditions. That means that 99% of global textiles are produced in harsh, unprotected working conditions, impacting 22 million people every day. We believe that an object is only as beautiful as the environment in which it's made, so we set out to champion Fair Trade working conditions in the artisan sector. 100% of our rugs are made with a Fair Trade process audited and guaranteed by the World Fair Trade Organization, helping set a new standard for social responsibility with fair wages for global artists.

TRAVEL THE WORLD, ONE RUG AT A TIME

Easy to clean and easy to love, flatweave rugs typically don’t shed as much as other types, making them ideal for areas of your home with a lot of foot traffic such as a kitchen rug. Inspired by the rich, intricate patterns of Indian and Zapotec culture, our flatweave rugs are a seamless way to ground any room in your home.
