With its bold features and striking tones, the Huatulco accent rug adds a warmth and is almost certain to steal to show. Inspired by ancient Zapotec designs, this rug is a true reflection of its history. Handwoven in a flat weave of 100% sheep’s wool, it is soft yet extremely durable and perfect for adding a bold splash of colour to those high traffic areas.
Created by a cooperative of powerful women, these products are designed to reflect their Zapotec roots. Each rug takes one full week to weave after a lengthy process of collecting, carding and hand dying locally sourced wool using native plant extracts. All of this in a fair-trade environment.
We recommend a rug underlay to reduce slip and wrinkles.
The beauty of both handmade and natural materials means no two pieces will ever be identical. There may be small differences in pattern, colour, shape or texture to what you see in the photo.
