Fair Trade. Guaranteed. 100% of our products are made with a process guaranteed by the World Fair Trade Organization.
Our rugs are handcrafted to last a lifetime, made using the highest quality natural fibers – no synthetic materials like viscose, rayon, or polyester are used.
Basic care:
Because each rug is handcrafted with only natural materials, it is normal to see loose fibers or shedding in the first six months.
Vacuum lightly at least once a week using only low suction and no beater brush, as this may damage the rug. More frequent vacuuming will help prevent shedding.
Avoid placing rugs in prolonged direct sunlight as this can cause fading.
Rotate your rug every 3-6 months. This will help prevent excessive wear and fading in one area.
The use of a rug pad will keep your rug lying smooth and flat and will help prevent slippage.
Treating stains:
Blot spills immediately with a clean cloth - act quickly to prevent drying. Avoid harsh chemicals and household cleaners as they may damage or fade the rug. When in doubt, professional cleaning is always best.

United StatesLovely rug
Very nice rug, very happy with purchase. Agree with other reviewers that the rug does have a warmer creamy appearance in person as compared to the online photos, but I was prepared for this after reading the reviews. Good quality, simple packaging when it arrived (in a box vs large tube).
United StatesStylish rug
I bought this rug after I installed hardwood floors in my bedroom. It looks even prettier than in the pictures with its two shades of grey and it adds a lot of style to the room . It is also very well made and I love stepping on it.
United StatesPerfect Neutral rug full of texture
I purchased the Akshay Area Rug in the 9x12 size for my living room. It is beautiful! I love the varying tones of gray along with the texture it provides. I’ve already gotten so many comments from friends. Quality is beautiful! I look forward to enjoying this rug for years to come!
United StatesDisappointed - Will Be Returning
I didn't realize that this was a flat weave rug. It is very thin and not cushy or plush at all. Might be fine with a bedroom, but not for a living room. The wool is a bit itchy. The cream textured areas are all laying one direction and doesn't give the texture I had hoped. Even with the use of a rug pad, the rug moves and gets wrinkled up. Additionally, because of the way it was shipped (folded up in squares instead of rolled like a rug would typically be), it has many deep wrinkles in the rug going the entire length and width of it. Customer service rep told me to lay heavy objects on the rug and eventually they would come out. But this is a big task for an 8x10 rug with deep fold marks all over it. I will likely be returning. For the price, I expected something much nicer.
