Story
Handwoven in India by
The Artisans of Dausa
A traditional dhurrie rug in a dusty blush hue, this piece brings a light, airy feel to your home. Meticulously handwoven and hand-dyed using lightweight cotton, this flatweave rug is prewashed to make it extra soft and elegantly faded.
Ethically crafted by a group of 15 master artisans in Banskho, India, each rug takes 5 days to complete. All made start-to-finish in a fair trade environment.
We recommend using a rug pad to reduce wrinkles and slippage.
This beauty is also available as a wall hanging.

Care
All our rugs are made from the finest natural materials. We choose pure cotton or sheep's wool, dye it carefully, and weave it for strength. Following these suggestions will ensure your rugs can be treasured for a lifetime.
Basic care:
Vacuum rugs lightly and avoid direct and prolonged sunlight exposure.
Small cotton rugs may be washed gently and hung to dry.
Treating stains:
If the stain was caused by liquid, act quickly to prevent from drying – use paper towels to absorb.
When in doubt, professional dry cleaning is always going to be your best bet. If you do decide to take matters into your own hands, a few tips for you:
- For wine, coffee, or tea, apply a solution of warm water, detergent and white vinegar with a damp sponge. Wipe with clean cloth and let dry.
- For oil, chocolate, lipstick, nail polish, or ink, scrub or scrape the stained area first. Then apply a solution of hot water and detergent with a clean cloth to absorb as much of the stain as possible. If required, leave the wet cloth overnight before wiping with a clean cloth to dry.

United StatesLovely color, excellent fabric quality, highlight of the room. Did not quite fit on a rug pad the same size, but does have some internal stretch.
I love the citizenry and have generally had great experiences but, this item began to fade immediately. I has almost no color remaining after a short period.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your review - we truly appreciate it. Best, - Andrea
This rug looks even better in person than online. It is soft and stylish. I bought the rug pads as well. I'm happy I did. They stay put despite my kid's best attempts at sabotage.
The texture, weave, and color of this rug is absolutely exquisite. True to the photographs online, the shape and feel of it were exactly what I imagined they would be when it arrived based on all of the information provided online. The quality of the rug itself is beautiful and durable. We use ours as a bathmat and it is perfect. I would absolutely order this again and recommend it to anyone who is considering. Remember, you get what you pay for ;)
