Yes — every rug in our collection is authentically handmade using traditional techniques such as hand-knotting and hand-weaving. We source directly from artisans in Iran, India, Nepal and Afghanistan, using natural materials including wool, silk and vegetable dyes.

Handmade rugs are individually crafted using traditional techniques, making each piece unique and highly durable. Machine-made rugs are mass-produced and typically do not offer the same level of craftsmanship, longevity or value.

A truly handmade rug shows subtle variations that reflect the human craftsmanship behind it. You’ll often notice slight differences in pattern or knotting, and the design will be visible on both sides rather than printed or backed. The fringe is also part of the rug’s foundation — not stitched on separately. These details are what make each piece unique and distinguish handmade rugs from machine-made alternatives.

The right rug size depends on your space and furniture layout. In living areas, a rug should be large enough to sit under the front legs of your sofa and chairs to create a cohesive look. For dining areas, it should extend beyond the table so chairs remain on the rug when pulled out. In bedrooms, rugs are typically placed under the bed with enough coverage on the sides. Measuring your space and visualising the layout beforehand will help you choose the right size with confidence.

Yes — handmade rugs, especially those made from wool, are well suited to everyday living. Wool fibres are naturally durable, stain-resistant and easy to maintain, making them a practical choice for homes with kids or pets. With the right size and style, a handmade rug can handle high-traffic areas while still adding warmth and character to your space.

Start with the size and layout of your room — a rug should anchor your furniture and suit the scale of the space. Then consider material, colour and how much foot traffic the area receives. To make the process easier, you can use our visualiser to upload a photo of your room and preview different rugs in real size and scale. This allows you to compare styles, colours and sizes before you buy — so you can choose with confidence.
