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 StatesRug doesn’t look like the picture
I love Citizenry but unfortunately this rug doesn’t look like the photos of it online and since there’s no store to go to, I relied on the photos for color selection. There’s no contrast between the grey and white squares snd the way it’s sewn is different. I’ll be returning or exchanging it.

Hi Shannon, Thank you so much for your note and thoughtful feedback. It means the world! We’re sorry to hear the colors of the rug did not align with your expectations. Since this rug is handwoven and made with all natural sheep's wool, there is sometimes variation in the shades of grey. That said, we have rigorous quality standards so we will be sure to double check this latest batch to make sure it's consistent with online imagery. Thank you again for your feedback. It’s incredibly helpful to us as we continue to grow. Sincerely, The Citizenry Team
United StatesGorgeous!
Love the color and texture. Bought this for son’s room and getting the runner downstairs for the hallway.
United StatesWanted to love it but returning
The rug looked beautiful online - unfortunately I’m in CA and couldn’t view in-person, which is probably a best practice with rugs generally. I can definitely see the craftsmanship involved in weaving the rug, but I ultimately decided to return because it wasn’t comfortable and the coloring wasn’t as pictured. The un-tufted part is really rough and prickly. I sat on the rug and could feel the fibers poking me through my clothes. The grey parts of the rug look like they are alternating diagonals of light and darker grey in the pictures online, but the rug I received was very monotone and didn’t have this variation. As other reviews have mentioned, the tufted part was also much closer to cream / yellow than white. Sad, I am returning.
